so after 3 years and 3 months, today i got "terminated". with the quotes cos my boss says he didn't want to say i got fired.
this afternoon he called me over and we chatted about the current company situation and he goes on saying that the company cant generate enough jobs to have 2 multimedia designers.
so i was thinking march is my last month working for them. but then he hands me a letter stating my resignation from the company and another stating that today was my last day. wtf! then the hrd person was called in and he comes in with a check for 6 months of my salary for severence. wtf, again!
i was thinking do they dont like me that much and wanted me out a.s.a.p??
thinking about it now, i'm pretty much amused.
anyone has had a similar experience??

i think they really like u, if they didnt u dont get anything, they just tell u to leave NOW

congrats!
it would seem like "sorry" would be the proper response but with 6 months severence you're in a good place to go look for a job you could really love. take off a week to lay around on the couch drinking beer at noon of course.

all of my jobs seemed like a series of bad dates. all I got were handjobs.

I need more of uberdesigners bad dates, haha
But really, they liked you to give you 6months pay, or you know something about the company and its hush money... either way its not bad. plus you get unemployment... sorry about your good luck

sweet.
I question their intelligence. Why not just keep you working for 5 months and give you a month's severance?

wow 6 months pay is good. most i ever got was 3 months. i think it's good for you. congrats and enjoy.

yeah i dont get it either.
why would they let you go immediatly instead of following the option Rand mentioned?

well, at least they told you! i worked at home along with 10 other people in-office, we all got laid off but they forgot to tell me until a week later when i went in for a meeting and they were like "wtf are you doing here?"
