No, see, I want them to lay me off. I came this close to begging the HR director to lay me off. But it's never gonna happen. 98% of my job is stuff that only I do, so there's no redundancy, and my work is the library equivalent of being a janitor--someone will always have to clean the toilets. My job is in zero danger of being eliminated, god fucking dammit. As for firing me, specifically--not going to happen unless I give them cause, because I'm so fucking overqualified for my job. The director, my department head, and the HR director have all told me that they don't expect me to stay, because what the hell am I doing here in the first place? Sigh. And I don't actually want to give them cause to fire me, because that just won't look good on my employment history.
No, today's idiocy will be about "since we've lost at least 40% of our people, why don't we take this opportunity to introduce some completely lunatic new procedures that won't do any good and will simply waste your time and drive you insane?" It's going to involve breaking into groups and brainstorming, even. Kill me now.
