That’s Just Plain Old-Time Mismanagement

My employer had manager meetings weekly, and their opening line was something to the effect of:

Employer: “How many write-ups have you done this week?”

And they would cheer when supervisors had any and give them kudos. They would look for absolutely anything they could use against you in order to fire you.

I was fired for doing what they told me to do, after twenty-six years, with only four months until I could retire. And this was apparently part of a trend: fire the “old-timers”.
