Wow.
What did you do to make them fire you?? Just curious...

I didn't really do anything. Which is why I got fired.

Basically, the company is really disorganized, the code is aweful, and I was not motivated at all. I tried to help them, but they were not interested in listening. So I just did less and less.

Technically, I DID resign, this way I don't get unemployment, but at the same time, they paid $8000 to get me to resign, rather then $0 to fire me. By my agreeing to quit, they are free from wrongful dismission lawsuits.

Either way, I am glad to be out.

John,
I see it now. The way you mentioned it sounds to me that company really sucks.
Hope you well,

now on to find another job you hate and start working on getting fired there too......... you could make this into some sort of career you know :D

anyhow at the moment I'm getting paid full salary, and my work days consist of playing tennis, shopping, and meeting with friends... (that's the friends that don't have to work....)...

I'm bored out of my skull....... maybe I'll adopt a kitty.

still, beats working for a living...

JOHN you r in a big trouble now because now you will have the same mentality in next jobs to do less and less and being fired while getting good penny.

But once it will be vice versa and you will be truly fired for ever.

I wonder why some people can tell what a person habit is like when they have only known him through the forum and less than 1 year.

I think the job prompted the pool playing and goofing off. Employers don't like to listen at times if it means change even if it is for the better.

If you hated the job, why did you wait until they fired you?

I hate to be a meanie, but you will look back on those years that you suffered this job and kick yourself.
