The last few days have been absolutely delightful. I mean, who doesn’t like putting in half a week’s worth of hours in two days? Monday I worked until almost 9 o’clock because a very demanding client had to know rightthissecond whether he could fire an employee covered under the ADA for performance-related issues.
Aside from the underlying legal issue, my real question was, “Who the hell fires someone at 7 o’clock on a Monday night?” That’s just asking for an office shooting, I say. There are even studies showing that firing someone on Friday greatly decreases the chances of retaliation on the part of the ex-employee.
But, there’s nothing like half-off bottles of wine at Osteria 832 on a Tuesday night to erase the week’s troubles. This might become a tradition.
