7/12 So, i'm trying to get laid off from my progamming job, because
I've decided to leave (and I already have my next job lined up) but
I want to partake of my company's generous severance package. The
company is going through lay-offs right now so it's not unlikely
that this would actually happen, but how do I go about getting
laid off but not fired?
\_ You're trying to get laid... from your programming job.
\_ It's probably a little late to lower your job performance,
but a sudden defeatist "we're all going to get fired anyway"
can go a long way.
\_ a friend of mine who went through the same thing volunteered
to be laid off so that his boss wudnt hafta pick someone else
tho he was real tight w/ his boss so it worked out fine.. -shac
\_ Yup, this is the way to go. Assuming you are in good standing,
tell them you would like to be laid off as well. It could work.
\_ You should quit. Go ahead and figure out a way to ask to be
laid off though -- although a nutty manager might fire you. |
