My Boss just got fired today!
It is devastating for the team. He has been very helpful and supportive for each one of us.
I even don’t care if they fired me too, for not willing to survive there without him! I am very sad and have been crying my heart out all the day.
He did alot for our team.. it is so unfair

I got fired from my job or should I say I was forced to resign. I was in a accounting department with only me and a CFO. I held the responsibility of doing reconcilation on payables account commercial fee account and mortgage accounts. I never was trained thrown to the wolves set up to fail. It scares me because it imposible to run a bank like that. The company has no internal control everything goes through the CFO perfect opportunity for her to steal money. I was told that it took me to long to complete task in addition to what the CFO instructed to me the HOUR lady would make demands and I was demanded to do what she ask in the middle of complete task instructed by my boss. I later found out the girl before me left because of the workload of the job. After instructed the Human Resource lady that I would look up a invoice after I was done. Things went down hill was ask to do mission impossible I have to do I did great job of completing the task at hand. She look through my work found two mistakes ask me to correct them and then fired me because of them. I then was ask to resign. I know I was set up what do I do. I have to kids and wife I know I tried my best. Hate the fact I got let go in this economy.

This has happened to me twice in my career. Neither boss was fired, but they moved on to something bigger and better with no option to take me along and a the other one was a downsizing where everyone went, including the bosses. Not fun and very disruptive. I wrote an article called, “Breaking up is hard to do” about my last experience with my boss leaving.

*sighs* Lordy, I’ve been through this too many times. Only once when the boss got fired, but several times when the boss left the company.

My main piece of advice, especially in an economy like now, is to CYA. Make sure you are covered, that you have an exit plan if necessary.
