So, I’ve given several two week notices throughout my career. Unfortunately, I recently had to give one over the phone instead of in person. I only report to one guy and he was on vacation. I could have just given it to HR but that would have felt scummy. I called him and gave him my notice then sent him a letter of resignation. Feels bad man. Anyone else ever have to give a two week notice in an awkward/unfortunate way?

    In the last round of firings, they gathered a hundred or so people in the training center and told them there that they were all fired. Because apparently we’re cattle or something.

    IBM used to hold all-hands in the big office, kill the power to the building, and selected people would be led with flashlights to their cube to pack a box under view of a security dood with the flashlight.

      Do you have a source on that? It sounds evil enough for IBM, but logistically too problematic to be worthwhile.
