My boss got fired yesterday,
the department is in chaos and my stress level is through the roof.

If any of you kind DUers would like to send Lounge vibes my way, I'll take them gratefully.

4. Many thanks.
It's hard on those of us who worked with him because we really liked him. He was a great guy and a pretty good boss.

3. that sounds rough -- you have my sympathy and good
vibes.

And I've never seen the "frivolous infighting" chart before - very funny!

17. I'm ~way~ outside the chain of succession,
but thanks for the hug and the kind thoughts.

That was one nutty day at the cube farm.

9. Always


My vibes are your vibes... :hug: :hug: :hug:

I hope that things settle down quickly and that your stress recedes completely.



(and that he finds that moving on from that position was, in the end, a good thing for him)

12. I'm sorry to hear that. I understand the stress, in the opposite way in my case.
Seven coworkers are gone in the last few months. But, goody goody gum drops, I *still* have three bosses. Same amount of workload, with seven fewer people, and three people "checking on you" every five minute. Good times.

Anyway... :hug:
