After 5-plus years, an overturn in top management, an impromptu leadership role, and a new boss I was told my services would no longer be needed. Come back in a few days to get your severance package. Oh, and by the way, answer every and all questions we may have since we failed to do so prior to walking you out the door. Gee, thanks! No big deal, really. It was a tumultuous 5-years at best. A long time in the making – just not how I would’ve envisioned the ending. Not the best-case scenario; definitely not the worst either. Justifies the position: dogs are better than people.
