Worker Gets Told To Start A New Project Despite Being Fired, They Agree Knowing They Won’t Do It

Spread the love

The loss of your job can feel like running out of air underwater. One day, you’re settled into your routine, paying your bills and sending off your kid to basketball camp, and the next, you have no clue when or where your paycheck is coming from. People need time to process this, but after Reddit user YolaGod was laid off, they were immediately told to start—and finish—a new project before packing their things. Needless to say, the worker wasn’t very motivated to complete it. Instead, they decided to get back at the managers who had come up with the idea.
