Being let go from your job is an emotional experience.

But when you’ve created a lot of value for your employer by doing a lot of work, your termination feels personal.

See how this worker reacted to getting fired.

The details are definitely worth it.

Want your assets back? Here you go.

I was let go as site manager from a Mechanical Contractor by the vice president over the phone.

I had brought a failing job back to some sort of normalcy.

He did so much!

I spent months getting drawings approved, having time and material tickets signed to recoup losses from the previous site manager.

I made spread sheers and take off lists.

I had email conversations that held the General Contractor responsible for multiple delays and out of scope changes.

The vice president told me to pack the camper they provided and leave my assets in the camper.

“Duly noted,” I said.

I cleaned my desk out gathered my belongs and headed to the camper.

This is where he gets even.

Then I deleted all my emails before they locked me out.

Then I factory reset my laptop and my phone, leaving them to start from scratch.

I was not about to let them benefit from all my hard work after getting let go over the phone.

Sorry not sorry.

Good luck starting over.

Here is what people are saying.

Sounds like this person knows what it’s like.

A little late for this.

I wouldn’t do this for the reasons you mentioned and many others.

There are productive uses for your anger, but okay.

I don’t know why people cross the I.T. department.

You’d think everyone would be on notice by now.
