What's the most shocking Christmas gift did you receive?

Today, my boss told me to check my email via chat.

Well, the company didn't care about the holiday spirit.

They sent me a letter to sign which briefly explained that they're ending my contract earlier on the second week of January.

They could have done it after the New Year, like January 2, right?

My contract is supposed to expire on February 16.

In 1987, at a company Christmas party, the announcement was made that our department was closing beginning in January. People were shocked and crying. A friend from another department suggested I rush in a transfer there, which I did. At break time, everyone began sending in transfers and applying for work elsewhere.

By January 1988, everyone had transferred, retired or quit—sooner than they anticipated. It served the company right.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, business is business. This thing can happen anytime even at the most unexpected occasion.
