It's funny. I was thinking today when I closed down where I work today 2-3 hours early because I'm getting back-to-back slams non-stop again that, even though my bosses don't know it yet, I'll probably be fired within 1-2 months. It's odd. It happens enough where you know the pattern before they do. Right now they're in the "Hmm. That sucks," stage. Next they go to the "We have to do something about this," stage. From there it's the fake smile while they talk about you and how "irresponsible he is" behind your back stage. From there it goes to the "We're downsizing to be meaner and leaner." And you later find out that you were the only one "downsized."
So why join OUCH? If you really can't find a reason like has been said in the responses, then join to save my job.
