back in 1998 i just started working at this design firm in hoffman estates. a week later they call an all staff meeting. as i'm going to one of the two office rooms my art director goes 'no you're in the other one'. i thought nothing of it cause there was about 40 people working there at the time and not all of us could fit in all one office room.
the beginning of the meeting went like this.
"those of you in here are fine. those in the other room are fired" and just after he said the word fired there was this loud 'WHAT!!' from the other office and then CRASH an office chair was thrown through the plate glass window and this huge sales guy comes storming out of the window he just busted out. this was after my first fucking week. it was my first real design job so i was just stunned at what was going on.
i guess the dude just bought a new house and his wife got pregnant so he really needed the job, next thing he knows he's canned. damn.
never saw the dude again.
