Lack of Updates
I started training the two (2) people in India who will be replacing me when the company lays me off. Training two people in who are in India, while I am in Arizona, and they have no phone... lemme tell you, it's a blast.
There was no karate last week. I was explaining this to my mother...
"One guy's going to be out of town, and the other has a murder trial starting next week."
There is an intake of breath, followed by a loaded silence from my mother. I know there is something wrong with what I've said, and I'm not sure what, so I think for a few seconds.
"He's a lawyer."
"Oooh." The relief is audible as my mother lets out the breath she was holding. Gotta be careful when talking to mom's.
So karate should start back up tonight, and on a Thursday later this month, there will be testing.
There, you've been updated, I gotta get back to my Indians.

Does your employer not see a certain conflict of interest in assigning you to train people to replace you when they lay you off?

I'm sorry, they didn't hear your question over the sound of their costs dropping... well, on paper at least.
