It's Funderwhoopee Friday ~ AM

 

 Coworker: “Did you hear that [Boss] got fired?”

Me: “I was wondering where he’d been!”

Coworker: “Yeah, apparently, he took all twelve members of the design team into his office and told them that only eight could stay and four needed to be laid off, so they should decide among themselves who it should be.”

Me: “Wait, seriously?”

Coworker: “Yeah. Instead, they went to his boss and told him what had happened. [Boss]’s boss realized he could keep all twelve on the design team if he lost one spineless member of middle management, so [Boss] had to go.”

Me: “That’s… kinda awesome, actually.”

Coworker: “You shoulda been there when he was walking out. [Boss] was making a scene demanding why he was being let go, and his boss was saying, ‘Because this is a company, not The Hunger Games!'”
