Most of us, middle management and even frontline staff, were done with our GM--complaints to corporate HR, etc.
I received a meeting invitation for December 10th, and where my office was, I could see people go in and out of his. One hour before my meeting, the first "problem child" (in his eyes) was in and out--he mouthed "fired" as he walked out the door.
30 minutes before my time, the next person had the same reaction.
I knew what was coming, so I backup my contacts and "got my affairs in order".
My position was eliminated, though I should have been offered a frontline position, so clearly *I* was being eliminated. I got my vacation pay and a month's severance; they let me pack up my office and take my time to do so. I immediately sent an email to my contacts that said, "My position has been eliminated; if you have any leads on jobs, please let me know. If you have questions on any of our on-going projects, please email BOSSMAN@company", since I knew my email access would get shut off quickly.
It was the best end of a job I've ever experienced. I was never so happy to walk out the door (other than knowing that my friends were going to be subject to Bossman and his misery).
