My oldest texted that the ax finally fell from her idiotic corporate outfit. She had survived multiple downsizings while the company is trying to stay afloat. She has been wanting to quit anyway, and certainly would have if her husband ends up taking the 3 year contract to move here when he's done with residency--since part of the deal was to start paying him some sort of stipend 2 years in advance of starting.
Said she was in a meeting, the HR read something off a script, advised she was affected, and kicked her out of the meeting and closed all access, including her email, instantaneously. F'ing cold blooded, man.
Looking at the bright side, she gets 10 weeks severance for not working, whereas if she quit she would work to the end of the 2-week notice.
I don't think I would have been equipped for the corporate world. Although it is Friday, and the phone will probably be ringing with "emergencies" that "have" to be dealt with prior to the weekend child exchanges. Maybe ruthless corporate would be tolerable...
