Just when I thought they couldn't be crueler.
We had our weekly division meeting today and my boss started talking about the upcoming RIFs. I've already been told I am being RIFd; just waiting for the axe to fall. But I digress. Boss lady surprises one of my coworkers who was originally told he will be RIFed that they have "found" a critical position for him to move into, and he is safe. Cheers all around as they celebrate not being on the RIF list, and I was left sitting there holding back tears while trying my best to keep a smile on my face. I'm not jealous, I'm just hurt. They could have saved that for when I wasn't present, at least I feel that would be the kind thing to do.
