That is horrible, there is a company around here, that once a year, same day every year, they have black Wednesday,,and they get rid of a lot of people the big wigs just go around and tap your desk,and you're gone, just like that, a friend works there, says its horrible, people crying while cleaning out their desk. Imagine going to work that morning! She said it's amazing how WELL things run and how busy everyone is weeks before that day.

At least they let them clean out their own things. My friend is the official head chopper at her office. They fire 'em and they're immediately escorted off the premises. Someone else packs up their things for them to pick up at a later date....downstairs.

So this morning I took her over a boquet of Gerber Daisies and a gift certificate to Nordstroms to her house and thanked her. Why should she go without a gift just because she got laid off? She still worked for me very hard for 4 years. Anywho, my Administrative Assistant and I are going to lunch and then getting facials!! Oh oh how I cannot wait!

Oh wow, that was very thoughtful of you.

I don't think my office has a clue.

As for the lay off people. Is it really necessary to escort them off the premises like they are criminals. Good grief. I know I know, just in case they are bent and retaliate, but good grief.
