Everyone in the office was called to a big department meeting... with the exception of me and a few others. We were called to another meeting. Yeah... I knew something was up. Nothing good ever comes from having a meeting in the "big" office while everyone else is going elsewhere.
It was cut-backs. I walked into the "big" office and there he was, the classic hatchet HR guy: Pale complexion, full black suit, close shave and black slicked hair.
Damn... just monday I was at Valis' house telling him and his friend Bob how much I liked working there.
Regarding the whole "My boss is a JW" issue... I can tell that he preemptively warned management that I may claim discrimination. During my exit interview they told me that I did a great job and was eligible for re-hire in other company departments and I would get a good reference. They also told me that I needed to go talk to someone in HR about the possibility of hiring on to another department.
The first thing I did after doing the "Box Walk" to my car was go to the HR department like was suggested in my exit interview. Oddly enough, not once, but twice the person I was talking to said: "Oh, I thought you were here about something else." Hmmmm Yeah... Brother Supervisor clearly told them that I might try to claim discrimination. I never did.
Well... if anyone knows of a company that needs an experienced Web Developer (VB, .NET, ASP, SQL)... please have them contact me.
