Today, my boss explained that the company will be letting me go. She got so upset that she couldn't leave her office and I had to console her. I had to make her feel less sad for laying me off. FML

Well then you must be a great employee OP. Hopefully you won't have much trouble getting a new job with a good recommendation

You're a good person OP. Sounds like you'll have a good reference at least.

If it makes you feel better OP :/ i almost got fired on friday .. For being a good employee .. At least she sympathized tho ! Good luck finding a new job

OP to boss: There, there. I'm sure you'll feel much better after doubling my severance package.

I have been laid off and been the manager that laid people off. It's a terrible thing to let someone go for something that was not their fault.

It's shitty for everyone involved, even if you're firing someone for cause, because you know you're cutting off someone's livelihood.

It's a very good thing when someone appreciates your work. Bad situation but at least you got her feeling. Good luck in your new research.

You're a better person that me OP cause as soon as I would have heard that I would of been gone

get a good recommendation letter from her ..it helps your resume...and make sure you keep in touch with her...

At least you know it wasn't her idea and she was against it

That's very nice of you to do that for her despite the circumstances. Shows you have a caring heart!
