• The thing about getting fired when the company is not doing well is that at least it doesn't catch you by surprise. Even if you're excellent at doing your job, you're always prepared for the day your boss calls you into your office to tell you that they simply cannot afford to keep you anymore.

  But how would you feel if you knew, without a doubt, that you're about to get fired in a few days? How would you react to being met with hard evidence that your boss plans to let you go?

  Let's see how the employee in the story below reacted to this exact scenario…

• This situation makes us wonder if we would have preferred to prepare for that dreaded conversation or have it come out of the blue. When a boss is very clearly having a round of layoffs, should they schedule these obvious 1:1s in advance, or should they pull the rug out from under their poor employees' legs?

  Well, if you ask this employee, they would have gladly chosen the latter. They didn't appreciate the hint of what's to come, especially not while they were on vacation. As soon as they saw the scheduled meeting with their boss in the schedule, they knew what was up, and we can't blame them if this news ruined the rest of their vacation.
