Who's got a big dick and just been made redundant? This guy!

[ckrit]

Just got called into a meeting and was given my letter along with poorly worded criteria for reasoning.

Four and a half years I’ve been here, watching the company slowly bleed money. I’ve seen CEO’s, branch offices, operating systems and fellow employees come and go. Personally harassed 3 female receptionists, broken countless servers, and stolen countless licensed software. Drank my bodyweight in coffee on a daily bases, looked at over a million cat pictures with hilarious captions and spent 14 hours a week on busses for the pleasure of doing so.

Perhaps I’ll go back to the thug life though apparently it can’t be chosen? Or perhaps I’ll go home, get high and play GTA – the possibilities are truly endless…

That sucks baws.

I hope you get a new and better jawb soon-ish (before the money runs out, but not until you've had liek weeks to relax like a boss).

Not that I have anything against homosexuals, but they should all be rounded up and shot.

Yeah, but you'd shoot 'em with yer peen.

Fuck it. GTA it is. You're allowed to required to fuck off a bit after getting the ax.

Shockingly, people who employ words like "redundant" to describe other human beings prove to be soulless cunts.

Who'd have ever figured?

Oh, it's never the person that is redundant, only the job. As if. If they really wanted you to stay, they'd find a reason, sure enough.

I had a friend who worked in HR, and she said that they were always looking at nice ways of fucking people off, rather than using the tired old saying, 'There's the door. USE IT'.

Then of course there is the 'mission critical' redundancy. That is where you are seen as a security problem when your job is 'phased out'. One of my first jobs in the IT industry was as an operator for Databank Systems. When the center I was working in was 'downsized' (what a lovely euphemism), four positions were also downsized out of existence. Operating on a LIFO scheme (Last In, First Out) my arse was one of the lucky downsize'es.
Being as redundant operators could probably do something really horrible to the electronic banking for the major banks, I was called into the managers office where all of my possessions were already assembled, along with reference letter, final pay check, plus a redundancy payment, told I was toast and escorted from the premises....


Cunts.



Which leads me to my next thought..... Being as you are a systems administrator Mr. Mulder, there are several fairly horrible things (and untraceable) that you can do to those that have pissed you off over the years, before you leave...

Everything is traceable, if you look deep enough. Reminds me of Steve Gibson, when someone used a botnet attack on his website. Through patient research, log checking and a few other tricks, he finally traced the attacker to a hidden IRC channel, which he then joined after gaining channel operator status. Imagine the shock on the faces of those nameless ones, when someone popped into their ultra secret channel and said, 'Hello guys. Remember me? The guy you dDOS'd off the net.'

Anyway, to cut a long story short, the young chap who initiated the attack got ostracised by his peers, and GRC learned something new about dDOS attacks.

Now, if a civilian security expert can trace the untraceable, imagine the resources the intelligence world has at its disposal. I bet they have software and hardware that we can only dream about. If a screenwriter can dream about it, someone has already created it.

There is no such thing as anonymity when using the internet. If you truly want anonymity, you need to totally disconnect yourself from the digital world. No phones. No Internet. No nothing. Deal in cash only, and leave no trail, paper or otherwise. Even then, you have to hope that someone doesn't recognise you and inform on you. That's what happened to Bin Laden.

Nah... If you don't post the letter it didn't happen and you're just crying for attention.

[Skiz]

Was it all super official?

Those are the same corporate types that replaced the word "used" with "previously enjoyed" or that told Chuck Heston that Soylent Green wasn't people.
