Signs you're about to be fired
This was on the apple live page or whatever.... but look at these "clues" could they be any more obvious? What kind of uncreative fuck came up with this shit? I like number 9 the best, yeah, they've told EVERYONE except you you're gonna be canned. 1 You are asked to compile a report on all your ongoing projects. 2 You are pushed hard to finish one or two specific projects. 3 You are encouraged not to do your usual long-term planning. 4 You're neither informed of nor invited to meetings. 5 You receive a critical review for the first time. 6 Your expense reports are questioned. 7 Your typical expenditures are criticized. 8 Your direct superior keeps his or her distance from you. 9 Conversation stops when you enter a room. 10 You have a vague sense of unease.

1. 10 You have a vague sense of unease.
But maybe you're just...insane.

17. Given that we all have a "vague sense of unease"...
I think they throw that one in to keep us all perpetually worried that we're next. *sigh*

3. It's 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning
and you roll over to find the boss's wife next to you in bed.

5. Conversation always stops when I enter a room
People wouldn't have anything to talk about if it wasn't for me. LOL

10. OH, did they tell you not to worry about longterm planning?
You: "I've got a great idea I think would really fly in September" Boss: "Don't worry about it." Yeah right eh? :eyes:

12. Excuse me, Mr. Bush? Could you please write up all your ongoing projects?
And don't worry about that RNC platform.

23. How about when they meet you at the door with all your stuff
boxed up and say - Nothing personal, give me your badge Stevo.

24. You find a stack of empty boxes sitting in your office Friday morning and
a note on your desk to report to your supervisor asap.
