Gather your work onto a drive so you have it for later. If he was an asshat (to borrow from word of the day thread) to you over IM, then print out histories just in case.

"there are some people than rather have not the all star designer but rather someone that they can work with"
$200 says zerocool's CD is a woman. That explains 99% of the problem right there.
- what's with all the sexism?? i mean, i have a woman CD and she's awful.. but the other woman CD is really good.free_
- OSFA0
I agree! And there is no sexism here _free_ we're just realistic and know that women should be either cleaning or cooking.

Speaking of sexist. I just sent this out to a mail group I am part of...
Maybe we can date and I can stay home with ****** and your guy and watch TV all day. Just a thought ;)

Glad to read this thread. I'd forgot that this place I am at now isn't the only one with horrible CDs. I had almost forgotton that - most places I'd worked at before this current one had been with fairly good ones.
So, OP, if it is to any relief, at this place I've been told:
"You're not Japanese. You should act American!"
(I'm Swedish)"That's an excuse. But hey, I am just like you; I like making excuses. But you can't do it here, it's not good. You can't work here if you do that"
(I said I needed more than 1 day to design a pitch of competing quality for Japans largest record label)1st month of the new cd: "Hey, all that matters is good design. You don't need perfect Japanese. Were gonna do great this year"
2nd month: "Your Japanese isn't good enough. We are reducing your salary by 20%".
(Granted, it's not perfect, I'm not native. But I do find the 180 bummingly funny)

Back up your stuff. Get all source files for your projects, otherwise they'll send you lo-res PDFs that you can't do jack shit with. Take all your vendor contacts with you. Don't take client contacts though. Make sure you have enough print samples.
If/when you get fired, control your temper if you're feeling angry. Lashing out won't help anything. Do make sure to ask specific questions though about how it came to this, otherwise you'll lie awake at night wondering about the unanswered questions. Trust me on this, I've been there.

And speaking from experience, getting fired is way worse than quitting. The hell with unemployment checks. Getting canned does a major number on your self esteem, especially if it was a job you cared about.

What makes you so sure your getting fired? maybe your just getting a stern talking to. I've had a few of those.

Talking shit about your work, and getting fired on QBN is a great way to get canned, I will not snitch on you, okay. Did you get fired yet?
