I work for a very large company. Right now im trying to figure out how i can get fired. I want them to pay out the severance, but they absolutely refuse to do so. They want to do all this PIP stuff instead for underperformance, but it feels so draining, all i want is the severance check, is that too much to ask for?!

Try to organize a union.

Yeah. If you try to organize a union they either fire you or offer you a supervisor position. Usually it is both at the same time. You get to move up or move out!

Say you are gay and you heard someone say something homoohobic and you don't want to get them introuble but you don't feel comfortable working there.

Companies give severance checks for firings (as opposed to layoffs)?

With large companies it is definitely hard to get fired without doing something really bad, hence the lazy and mostly useless workers in them.

Definitely. Ive got a $70k severance written into my contract in case of dismissal. Of course, there are stipulations. I don't think I'd be able to just start slinging N-bombs around and still get paid out. That being said, if someone in HR had to deal with an unreasonable complaint from the diversity hires it would likely be easier to just pay me off and send me on my way.

You could hire several consultants to help you on this, with a condition that they only get paid if you get severance.

The reference went over your head, it's from Office Space.

Asked to be moved to a much more reclusive office space. Start claiming all your sick time and vacation time. Take up all your unexcused absence time. When you have to be there make sure you do absolutely nothing useful but you're always "busy". Just gold brick anyway you can that doesn't go against company rules. Malicious compliance is your best bet. Take everything they ask you to do and do it with a vengeance in mind. Make them regret asking you to do anything until they just stop asking you to do anything. Eventually you will either be promoted or fired. They will seek ways to get rid of you that won't get them in trouble with an attorney.

Can you catch the corona virus and use the permanent brain fog to get disability and then not return to work when required to, generating a firing?

[–] [deleted] 4 pts

Companies classify that as "failure to show" and will write you off as quitting. That's also what the underperforming PIP stuff is trying to encourage him to do too is to quit.

He could say that he feels singled out and that they are using the PIP to create a hostile workplace in an effort to force him out. Mention that you are going to consult an attorney. It is a serious move, but may trigger a severance offer to avoid a legal battle. Even if it is a dog of a case.

Don't do misconduct you won't get unemployment

Just a joke friend.

My best lived advice is, reduce work output to 80% and walk right on the line of anti-NPC behavior.

I received a pink slip for just that, purple hair man hater, couldn’t understand why a female employee wouldn’t jump on the fuck patriarchy wagon.

I knew it was coming, but didn’t want to put in a two wk notice. High and dry, the best action on my part.

does that work for anybody but neonhairs? they seem to be more vindictive than anybody else.

You don't get unemployment for getting fired for cause, period? The only way I can draw unemployment is if I get laid off, i.e., there's nothing for me to do within the company and they can't justify paying me.

The important word is "misconduct"

And when they call you literally don't say any other phrase than "I don't know"

[–] 0 pt

Just fuck of your personal hygiene. No shower. No deodorant. Don't change clothes. Play with dogs before work. Jog everywhere. Have crazy hookers constantly calling your coworkers asking for you. I think that'll work. No misconduct

The middle of the desk is more appropriate.

If you're evil, file a lawsuit claiming some sort of discrimination or other bullshit. Generally, no matter how insane your claim is, they'll settle for $100k-$200k because it costs more to litigate. I saw 3 different women do this to 3 different companies, all 3 claims were entirely baseless. No reason you can't do it because they don't respect the fact that you're trans racial, trans gender and trans religious.

If you want to be passive about it then slack off and don't do your job.
