This week one of my co-workers and break buddy, Jane, was told to observe and learn the job done by Dick. She sat at his desk and took copious notes. Since Dick sits behind me I could hear some of what was going on. Jane told Dick that she was observing him so that the supervisor could come up with production standards.
Fast forward to this afternoon. My snoopervisor, Helga, comes to me at 215 and asks if I can work overtime tonight (I normally leave at 230). I said yes and asked why. We took a walk. She said that Dick was going to be busy all next week and since Jane is on vacation I needed to learn Dick's job ASAP.
I thought it odd because Helga said Dick was going to be doing a special project for the manager, Darth Sidious. Dick comes in at 5AM and Darth Sidious does not come in until around 730. I thought surely Dick could do his normal job until Darth Sidious came in everyday but Helga said no I would definitely be doing his job.
Helga was extremely guarded when asked any questions. Her facial expressions betrayed her words that is for sure.
I really hate to see anyone lose their jobs. This guy is one of the few in the uhit who truly undestands my geekieness and various obsessions with hobbits and sci fi in general.
Tomorrow we are all working an abbreviated day so if anything happens it will be early. Generally when they fire people at this place they do it early in the morning.
I am not happy and I have sphilkes. IF Dick is fired what should I say to him?
