Oh. I heard this bluff from Pat Geisinger himself, in person.
I was employed by VMware many moons ago when Pat took the helm. He decided to start by cutting an entire department from my location, sight unseen.
We then changed all the furniture because they had two floors of the building and wanted to cut back since they just lost half a floor of people.
We go home, work from home for a while, then return. Then Pat comes by for a site visit.
He stood there with the gall to say that the team that was cut was a different business unit, and that was a business decision regarding that business unit (it was the front line team, which was then relocated to "low cost centers").... Blah blah blah.... This is a different department, a different business unit, blah blah, what happened to them is isolated, and doesn't mean anything regarding your employment.... Blah blah ....
I didn't buy it for a second. But I was too stressed out to do anything at the time.
The layoffs started less than six months later. I was part of the first round.
Fuck you Pat.
Omg!
Since its clear you are a bad worker leave off a few important task. They can chalk it up later to themselves as proof they made the right decision when those tasks fall through the cracks.
All important tasks. Let them figure it out
Sometimes you can even see it through the telephone
Sending Anne Hathaway to fire me? I'll accept that.
"oh I'm sorry, I had to leave early. Something's come up. You'll receive FMLA paperwork soon; I'm afraid I have to invoke mandatory legally protected family medical leave. See you in at least 90 days"
