Etiquette during a layoff?

[Missy]

We're having a big layoff today at work. I am 90% sure that I am one of those people. I have always been a lady to my managers, even when they've acted like a bunch of PMS'y, snitty, hypocritical, lying bunch of hags. I don't see them giving me a good reference, because they're nasty and fake, and behind closed doors they try to take everyone down. Should I leave as a lady, or cuss them out for what they're really worth?? I already have two definite references who are not them.

(And I am not typing this at work, I am home on my lunch hour.)

Don't be nasty (unless provoked). It may feel good in the moment to let loose, but I don't think you will look good in others eyes after you've left.

[Ambie]

screw it! tell them how you feel about them. you are never going to see them again anyway! you have held it in for too long! cuss them out! i would. good riddins.

I wouldn't burn my bridges if I were you, but I also woudln't go out of my way to put on a happy face in light of the situation. If you've got something to say, say it, but do it respectfully enough that you won't be sorry for it later if you ever happen to end working with one of them in another environment.

Never burn bridges... the next manager you interview with could know them.

Bite your tongue,and be professional about it. You might have to work with them again someday.( and you probably will) This is true. Good luck,and I am real sorry you are having troubles on your work situation. Byee

I could come back to bit you in the ass, so just leave as a lady

Don't go off, they may be expecting it, since it will be more than one person. Leave on a good note, and if business picks up, they may re hire you, or they may help you land the job of your dreams. Be nice about it. They are a reference.

you're always better of taking the high road.
