Take this job and shove it

My wife and I use Instant Messenger to converse through out the day. Just found out she's been fired from her job at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in North Phoenix.

In all honesty it's a good thing; she's been miserable there for months and was planning on quitting later this month anyway. But still...there is nothing worse than the feeling that accompanies being fired. It just plain sucks.

Sorry for the bad news. That's a bummer. Unfortunately the corporate world is bullshit. But in my experience these things typically work out for the best. I can cite numerous examples from my own history.

I'm sure everyone will come through this better off. Except that damn hotel :)

There's a post somewhere in all this. The hotel made mountains out of mole-hills, inflated perceptions of the supposed "problems" and in the end, even lied to her face in the exit interview. I'm not an activist about stuff like this, but it's too bad Arizona is a right-to-work state.

The funniest thing about it though is when asked for comments, my wife told her manager that she'd been planning to resign at the end of the week anyway. Enjoy paying the unemployment claim guys!
