Signs

What are some signs youโ€™re about to be laid off?

The top ten signs youโ€™re about to be laid off (Dave Letterman style):

10) Your manager refers to you as โ€œMy new yacht paymentโ€ during a meeting.

9) Your chair is replaced with a five gallon bucket and your desk is now damp cardboard.

8) When you attempt to badge in, the badge reader makes the โ€œwomp wompโ€ sound.

7) You manager adds you to a Slack channel called #FutureHomeless.

6) Your desk becomes a Mad Max scene of office supplies theft and looting.

5) Mandatory brain download into an AI that has taken your name and face.

4) Your company car is replaced with a Big Wheel.

3) When you go to the company all-hands conference, the HR table shoots spitballs at you.

2) Karen body checks you in front of the coffee maker and says, โ€œYou wonโ€™t be needing that anymore.โ€

And now, the number one sign that youโ€™re about to be laid off:

1) Just like your parents did, the office and everyone in it moves without telling you the new address.
