I definitely agree, Blanche. In fact, for me the best option for the 29th would be firing with severance. I am so demotivated to even do this job these days; in fact, I really have come to hate it. However, if I quit I only get about 16 vacation days, plus a small unemployment account of about a month's salary. So, I will hang around for now because a salary is better than none. I will do what I can to save money for the future and hope they will put me out of my misery.
Sorry to hear you were fired. So many people I know have been fired lately. It seems like an epidemic.
