What day they fire you really tells you.

Friday: But why, Boss, why? -  Series, so far.

Unemployment rates are speeding up like a constant spinning merry-go-round revolving door. Workers are running to catch up speed, grab a handle, and hop on for the dizzying ride-even on another playground. When you get tossed off by a boss, tells you what they’re really thinking.

End of a Calendar Quarter

Around every three months, upper management is looking for ways to cut budgets. Pay is usually the quickest choice, as it’s a recurring expense, similarly like an electricity bill. Budget cut discussions have been talked about way before the actual layoffs or termination. They’ve already talked about how much and who may be let go. Managers and supervisors, who get higher salaries, may get fired first, but of course, won’t be told until closer to the day. Layoffs at the end of the year are the most heartbreaking due to the holiday gift-giving season.

If you’re Fired on Friday

Bad news is often given at the end of the day or week to try to minimize causing an embarrassing reactive scene. This says: They may like you enough to give you time to be upset in private. If management or the business isn’t working or open afterwards, it minimizes a chance of a return face to face confrontation, from you. This also gives you some time to search for a job in the Sunday newspaper.

If you're Fired in the Middle of the Week.

There are a couple of reasons they may do this.

1.  A situation has peaked to emotional angry boiling points. The superior lacked taking patience and time to fully hear out details of all parties involved and most are making automatic judgments based on established previous behavior from the employee. Remember, any emotions can influence choices.
2. They’re giving you time to pack your office. Even if they give you time to pack, its  still   uncomfortable to have your co-workers watch you leave in boxes.  

   

If you’re Fired On Monday

Management may think the beginning of the week will get a new beginning. They thought about it over the weekend. If they fire you on purpose on Monday, they may be viciously diminishing your chances of making money for the rest of the week.  Or they may trust you won’t be back to retaliate. Plus, you can start filing for unemployment benefits right away since its a start of a week.

Be reassured to know that just because they terminated you, personally, they will have to continue to deal with possibly similar situations again. As managers or supervisors, they also have plenty of others with a variety of flaws of issues they will need to manage over. Their managers are keeping track of that track record too.

 

Find a little giddy joy in knowing they will have more work to do to cover your tasks or find others to do it for them until they have a replacement. Once they find a replacement, or not, they have to take  the time in their schedule to train others properly. Those that are trainers, are given instructions from their superiors to set the pace, speed, and controls towards the spinning movement of the business.
