Outfit was bought from the old (family) owners because they were old and their kids were into other things. MFW, new boss not like the old boss situation. Untrustworthy, wouldn't buy his shitcoin. :)

Yeterday we're told whole thing is supposed to be moved to a place in Bavaria, roughly 350 km from our home, where I live with my handicapped wife. They're trying to fuck us by offering the same job at the new location, hoping we'll sign their new contract.

They have another thing coming. It's lawyer time.

When I asked about the normal compensation for shituations like this, was met by deer in headlights behavior. Then I asked him why he was so surprised by my question. Because the least that's coming to me is half a month's pay for every year I've worked there (39 years).

Through bush telegraph I know some of the back story. Mr. Boss man got involved in family business. Family patriarch and Boss man get along well, I guess. Grandson of patriarch starts working there, after studying specifically for this kind of enterprise. Mr. Boss man alienates grandson and said grandson leaves. (No hard feelings, I'm sure)

Patriarch has a crippling accident (Riding an E-quad at 90 years old will do that to you but he visited us and he didn't look his age by a huge margin)

Patriarch doesn't want to be involved in anything business related after seeing the grim reaper up close and personal.

Grandson takes over. Payback time.

Grandson terminates lease of factory premises.

???

I'm so sorry to hear that.

What would you like to do now?

The obvious choice is stealing old ladies handbags. Tried that once but they're so sweet and usually poor, I leave more in there than I had hoped to take.

Guess it's going to have to be full on nigger murder as a distraction until I find a real job.

Talked to a co-worker in the same boat today and we came up with reverse stripping, where we get paid to put our clothes back on.

You're German, I feel like you should start a company grinding lens's for optical telescopes.

Or maybe you could start painting, like an Austrian

Regardless, the world is your oyster, and I think you will succeed in any endeavor you choose to pursue.

There were some great German poets. Why, just two days ago I read this poem from the great prophet Mike Krüger (RIP, PBUH): "Wenn mich einer nervt, zähle ich bis acht, dann kriegt er in die Schnauze, bis er lacht!"

Agree. And they one day for no reason webrustler was elected.

Oh, so Grandson is back in charge and Bossman is no longer bossman?

AFAIK, grandson is in charge of the building where bossman's company lives for historical reasons. And bossman incl. company got kicked out. New premises were found and now it seems he wants to consolidate, at least by proximity. Looks desperate. Bottom line, we're effed by no fault of our own. He'll likely fail.

We should all get fired and make a company together. I'm sure some interests overlap.

It would probably be a clusterfuck of biblical proportions but boy, would the journey be memorable.

Or, and hear me out... It could be awesome.

You're probably right though.

It would be amazing, although probably like herding cats

>the least that's coming to me is half a month's pay for every year I've worked there

Is this some kind of law or something? It does not make sense to me. When I let people go I let them go. I don't give out any gigantic bonus.

The same job for 39 years? Wow. I've never stayed anywhere longer than 3-4 years.

Same company, not same position therein. Call me old fashioned, but that used to be the norm here.
