'I found out I was let go... by being CC'd to remove my access:' Boss accidentally copies employee on email about upcoming termination

This is not exactly the ideal way to find out you're getting fired... but then again, it's not exactly reflective that your current workplace is a well-run machine that's worth staying loyal to, either. This thread was posted to Reddit by u/theoddcrow, who is the unfortunate employee in this scenario.

 

As folks in the comments section below point out, this embarrassing mess-up means that the Redditor has a little bit of leverage here. Regardless of what they choose to do next, I'm sure we can all agree that this kind of toxic work environment is simply not worth living it in the long run. So u/theoddcrow, consider this a dodged bullet. On to the next one! And hopefully, in your next workplace, your boss won't be a technologically incompetent jerk.

 

Keep scrolling below to see what people had to say in reaction to this small but insane mistake! For more stories like this, check out this post about an employee who realized there was a camera in her office.
