Times like this are difficult for the ordinary office worker. There are lay-offs every week, sending a couple of employees away with their boxes. We are not sure if we are the one to get the sack next. In times of uncertainty, we are always told to secure our safety fund just in case we are the next one to go out of the company.What's really very uncharacteristic of these times is a worker who is trying hard to have himself sacked.
Well, yeah, so that's what Greg wants to do. He wants to get fired so that he will be able to get out of the company. He cannot resign because he is bound by a contract, and the company won't allow itself to buy the contract just to terminate him. Apparently, he's not much of a budgetary factor that it would be more costly to pay him the termination fee.
So why does he still want to get fired? See, he does not have a family to support and he probably does not eat much, anyway, which is why he would rather play the XBox all day until the economy rebounds and he's able to find a job again.
Do you know someone acting like him? I think he's one of those rare kinds of workers that bosses would rather not have in their offices. How did Greg end in this office, anyway? That makes me wonder a lot.
And, oh, I do not want to know what the incident was with the stapler.
All UPSable
