In these recessionary times one must always be on the look out for signs of the axe- shifty gazes from your co-workers, severely limited project loads etc. As I don’t work for a company that makes its money on exotic financial instruments, construction, real estate or flat screen televisions, I figure my job isn’t high risk. But you never know…
As such, I was pretty damn scared for about 5 seconds when I returned to my desk this afternoon to find a stack of 4 brown boxes leaning against my file cabinet. There was no note, and one could logically construe the message to be, “Here you gou. Pack your shit and please leave your corporate card with the administrative assistant. Security will be here to escort you out shortly.” It turns out that I’m actually just moving cubicles- which is somewhat of an upgrade since my current cube is really a mini cube. Still, I’d rather not see any memos on pink paper or card board boxes until the Dow goes back above 10K, thank you.
