Long story short the stress level in that office is at rocket high levels. They are shoving down deadlines that are physically and tehnologically impoissible. Eitehr way, fire me or not, to not even get my side of the story at any point says a lot about a person. I even went to talk to our CIO after the heated discussion and he said he didn't have time and avoided the conversation altogether. Today I am unemployed.

Keep in mind our CIO is a guy who would glance at his watch when you left for the day after you just worked 9 hours and he knows damn well you will be working more from home. Pretty petty and childish to be sure and not someone who I really want to work for.

It sounds like SP really changed for the worse. He never struck me as a clock watcher. Shoot, he always would agree with us about KMS having crazy hours expectations. He thought we were crazy for doing it.

Apparently he's changed his tone now that he's in charge.

I'd rather work on the service desk there. They get paid pretty well and only have to be there 8 hours per day.

Damn. :( Sorry to hear about this. It definitely sounds like you got screwed. Like you said though, it was probably a blessing in disguise.

Best of luck to you!

Sounds like you don't have a job and don't know what the hell you're talking about. Could you adjust your attitude some?

I put in on average 60-65 hours a week including weekends. Few months ago I had a pow-wow with my boss and her boss because they had concerns about my being happy there. I asked why generated this concerns and their answer flat out was "we aren't going to discuss specifics". Ok, then WTF did you bring it up?

Then a few months later I get told my "tone" in my e-mails to an outsourcing company we were using was bad. I asked not once but twice what I said, what they would have liked me to have said, etc. No answer.

Then a few weeks ago when I was working my ass off night, days and weekends I get told that my boss's boss had concerns about my productivity but that I shouldn't ring my hands over it.


So today I get told I was being let go because of performance issues. Not one documented incident of said issues exists of course.

Normally I would feel like shit for getting fired but in this case when you are working that hard for someone and all they can do is insist on more then do you dirty like that I am not so sure this isn't really a blessing in disguise.
