Boss got fired...
YIPES!!! Everybody is on pins and needles around here today...
That's TWO general managers I've outlasted...next week, I get to meet number 3. Eventually, they'll find a good one, right?

Maybe it's you, tcbo? Ever wonder why they seem to not last around you? 
At my town job, we got a new department manager after the old one "traded up" to head up a new operation they're trying to take on. My immediate lead is as nervous as a woman of loose virtue at a revival meeting with the new DM. As for the workers, we're pretty much safe, since the new DM came from the floor and knows what it takes to make things happen, but our fearless lead, "Little Nappy", has kicked up his half-azzed order-giving a notch to prove to us, himself, and management that he's truly needed. And since I don't like Little Nappy, I love watching him step on his own... appendages... trying to kiss up to the new guy.

It's a long story, but I work for a "daughter" company of the parent company next door. The parent company went and purchased the machine that I operate...then went and found me...and installed the machine and myself at the company I work for...I'm pretty close to untouchable, so I'm not worried.
Frankly, I wasn't looking for work when they found me...I'm always busy.

I have never had my boss get fired, they just wait to fire the boss until about 2 months after I quit because I don't like working with the boss. Happened twice. The second time I went back and asked for my old job back, they had already filled the spot.
