This isn't for some hourly wage job. This is my lifelong career, although I can work at other places iny my field of course. And I'm not talking putting my hands together, kneeling on the floor kind of begging, but just saying everything I can to the boss to hopefully convince him/her to keep me on. My big whig boss, while preteding to be empathetic, still didn't budge. Oh well, I'll look at it as a blessing in disguise. The lousy thing is, my boss is being canned too & won't be returning in a few months. No, I'd never sell my life to the job for any reason. I have been let go due to mergers, and it's hard. Thankfully, my job (RN) is a go anywhere type of job. Sorry you are going through that. Good idea to consider it a blessing in disguise and move on. Being positive will help you in your job search & interviews. |

| Once a decision is made to let you go, no amount of begging will change it. I've heard someone begging for their job before, and it isn't pretty. It also didn't save her job. Don't beg..... just move on. |

This is pretty much the very end of my 2nd year on the job. They said I'm not showing fast enough growth. I started grad school at the same time I was first hired to earn the mandatory degree I need for the job...yes, in this field, that kind of thing can be done. I've had to hit the ground running, learning what I needed to for my job & doing my paperwork for work that I've had to bring home to do here & there PLUS going through a rigorous grad program & doing homework assignments, tests, & readings for it. Yes, I've had a mentor, but it's still tough & honestly, my mentor hasn't shown me enough in my opinion. In fact, considering the circumstnaces, I think I'm doing a darn good job! But, oh well. The thing is, the company has ben short-staffed on people of my position for the last decade & they're still short-staffed now, yet they want to let me go! There's a few people they hired around the same time as me. One hadn't even been accepted to a grad school yet, so it would be interesting to now if they kept her on. Technically, they shouldn't, but who knows what underhanded things they could do with the "right people". |

| No way ! Usually when they let you go corporations have already made their decision ! Begging for a job shows ignorance and weakness. whoever has told you that your no longer needed is only doing their part and may not be the decision maker for this outcome. If you really wish to beg you can beg in a mom and pop store for your job that is if they are not going out of business. Move on bud ! |

| If you have to beg to keep your job, you're likely to be happier elsewhere. |

Statistically, sociopaths/psychopaths are likely to comprise 6% of the population. They will rise to the top because of their charm, and because of their unrelenting focus on self-dealing, cloaked by manipulation. They have reptilian cunning. They don't GET fired unless their behavior is so deleterious - and I'm talking hands in the cookie jar, here - that it will undermine the company's prospects for survival once it all comes out. Treatment of people doesn't matter. Company reputation does. Companies only get rid of people like this only when it would make senior management look stupider to keep him on while he's cleaning out the accounts than to get rid of him, only to have the details of their stupidity hit the morning news. Meanwhile, these guys go on about their business while getting promoted, often for years and years. So - my question is: what was it about this guy's behavior that brought him down? We all need to get better educated on sociopathy. If you Canadians can pick it out and act on it better than "we" can, we would be well served to listen to how you do it. These guys are smoooth. I'm glad you are sitting in a good place now. Frequently, the damage these people do on their way up takes a permanent toll on people. Thanks for any info on how to spot these folks! |

| I have never begged to keep a job and I never will. Once you do that, you allow your boss to get over on you, and realize on a deep level how badly you need the job, and when that happens, yopu start to become more abused than you can imagine or think you are now. Funny this subject came up, because a short time ago, my boss told me that her boss, who hates me and is leading the charge to fire me, might reconsider her stance on me if I "played the game" and let her know I was wrong about stuff, apologize for things I didn't even know I did but the boss believes about me based on perception and bias, and pretty much apologize for being "advertised as product A, but are clearly product B". In other words, beg for my job. I told her I will never do such a thing, and if that's what we're all waiting for around here, then to get past it because I will never "play that game". I have too much pride. |
