Get back to work today, see a mail from yesterday when I was off sick

"Mr Colleague has tendered his registration. His last day with Company will be 31st Jan 2024"

Do they think we're stupid or something? We all know the guy got sacked. We're required to give a calendar month's notice. So when there's a same day resignation, we all know

They tell you? I noticed a dude was gone two weeks after he was fired/left. I asked a colleague and he said he was gone. I thought he was on vacation or something.

@Demolishun Wild. You somewhere with at-will policies?

@TheBeardedOne What are the reasons for which a dev gets sacked usually ? Speed of delivery / performance ? Or just because they don't like him ?

@gitstashio in the case, so far as I know it's because the guy went more than 400% over the estimated time to fix an issue and was already on his final written warning. Firing people is whole huge pain here

@TheBeardedOne wow. Do you work at hell?

@electrineer South Africa. Our labour laws are all over the place

@jestdotty yea.... I've been here just over a year and the cracks are starting to show. Don't get me wrong there are definitely some good people in the mix but overall it's just getting worse and worse. Like a guy who is going on leave this coming week said on his way out the door "I'm just a teams message away if anyone needs anything"

That's not normal or healthy. I also don't want to be the guy bugging someone on leave but that's what management expects
