CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!
Just been told by my boss that the big boss wants me out of the company, for no good reason. We concluded it’s political because the official reason given is so weak and we can’t think of any other valid reasons. The best part is I don’t even get to play politics at my level, if I wanted to.
Long story short:
- Big boss (we think, based on his actions over the last few months) wants to start a new company.
- It will directly compete with my previous company.
- His potential partner, until recently, was in high level management in the previous company.
- Some 2 years ago, my current company bought some technology from my previous company for an insanely ridiculous sum of money (6 digits). I was transferred to this company for my knowledge in this technology.
- Now big boss wants to dump this technology. The same man who refuses to pay $40 more to buy a bunch of corporate gifts for our clients.
- It does not make sense to dump me too, because now he needs to develop his own version and (1) the best person to do it is me, (2) it is near impossible to find anyone in the market who can do this, and (3) the only obvious source for such people is the other company. But my boss has been prohibited to hire anyone from there.
- Looks to us that they want to obilerate any links to my previous company, so it cannot come after the new company for breach of intellectual property rights.
GRRRRRR!!!! This is such a stupid way to lose a job. This sucks. Makes me all the more determined never ever to let anyone else control my future.
