Corporate Breakdown
So Tigger has been 'Terminated by Management'.
What I've been told is that he took a job with a competitive empire and started work there today. He did not give any type of notice, and as of this morning we all thought he still worked here.
So, 4:30pm I'm told to cut off his access to our networks and the building. The building I can do, but all the network access is run out of NY and they are all gone for the day.
Is this a problem? 45 minutes ago I would have said no. But then 45 minutes ago I never would have suspected Tigger of doing something like this. He is one of the two people who treated me respectfully and seemed to like me. And I liked him.
I'm totally having one of those upside down shaky ground moments.
UPDATE: Ground firming back Up
Tigger called me - wanted to make sure I knew what was going on because - as he put it "I really like and respect you and would hate to think you were thinking badly of me."
Then he started to cry.
Did I mention that he has a newborn son? yep, and new son is sick and might/will need surgery. Tigger has been looking for a job, either with EE or outside that has less travel. He wants to be close to home to be there for his family. He found a job with a different empire - gave his resignation YESTERDAY (monday), told them he was starting work on Wednesday. Management sat on it for 24 hrs before telling the rest of us a very abbreviated version. Why? Well, according to what I could gather from a sobbing Tigger - he was told that anybody who put their family before their job wasn't someone the EE wanted around.
I'm glad that Tigger isn't the despicable monster they were painting him to be ... not so glad that the 'Evil' in Evil Empire really isn't in jest.
