This is an old rant from over 10 years ago in my first job at 19. I was tasked with turning off one of our clients email because they had left the company. Easy enough, logged into cPanel, job done. Later that day I get a phone call from the clients company asking if there was a problem with the email. No I said, everything should be fine, I did remove a 'joe.bloggs@blah.com' email address as instructed because... *reading job bag*... they had left the company. The client then said, that's my email you've turned off and hung up. Turned out he had been fired and no one told him. I felt horrible. I will always remember that conversation 😓

    One of my workmates once jokingly said to a colleague, just after they got out of a private meeting with the MD, "Clear your desk then!".

    Turns out they'd actually been fired. Mortifying was not the word.

    Perhaps he was notified by email

    I work it admin for our company and I hate knowing people are being fired/sacked/let go. However you say it and no matter how big a tosser they are I always feel a bit bad

    @Jase It is a joke. It makes sense when you realize his email was close

    btw, absolutely agree. If they are gonna make ya redundant, at least they must go through THE unconfortable moment

    How is that even possible! How can the redundancy be legal without the receiving party having been informed??
