if you knew you were going to get fired, would you...
quit, dont give them the satisfaction of firing you
let them fire you, but dont do anything at work until you get fired
do a really good job and hope you dont get fired
or, come up with any other answers you want. |

database operations, but they want me to start training the other employees on how to use the new system that management decided we needed. ive done a little bit with it and its not all that great. ive been working part time over the summer because there hasnt been a lot to do and id rather have the days off over the summer, but ill be full time from now. |

| if you work for a while full time getting fired isnt that bad because you get unemployment and a severance package usually. Also training people to do what you do is a pretty good sign they are getting ready to let you go hehe. But thats cool the raise was offered...Id talk responsibilities and duties that go along with the raise if I were you and start talking like youre being promoted...basically what direction do we need to move in, what else needs to be done, etc... |

what are you using? i'm in a similar position, I work for a fortune 500 company on the business side of sales operations using Oracle 11i/9i Discoverer Reporting Tool. So essentially I'm dev'ling up business reports and doing analysis based on sales through fiscal years. The whole training thing is a fluke man, I've trained so many people and they are all still dumb to the head about it. Nothing you can do when technology leads a sales force full of blood hungry money grabbing quota making reps who don't want to do anything that will mess up their business. |
