NaBarney Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It could be like in office space where the guy bucking mgmt impresses corporate by being a straight shooter and gets a promotion, idk it would be a gamble but you might wanna go all in along with him since your name is already out there as supporting what he's saying anyway.

Mix Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) it was in that moment that I saw it all... Naraku will finally see his fears bear fruit. He will get fired. Struggle to find work. Lose his home. Fall prey to heroine addiction. Athena will finally get a job with the pay and benefits she desires. it'll be at a rehabilitation facility. After two years of wondering what happened to Naraku, she'll spot him being checked in by his parents, looking worse for wear. Phillies will leave his parents basement and go to community college. He will excel and transfer to a state school with a good reputation. He will graduate and find a career he can fuel with his new found ambition. He will buy a house. Naraku will leave rehab, after 2 separate stints, a sober man. He'll move into his parents basement. Afraid that taking on the stresses of his former life may lead him to fall off the wagon, he settles into a slow paced life of late night video games and sleeping till 2pm while hugging a body pillow with an anime character on the case.

I'm pretty sure that "being a complainer" wouldn't be a good enough reason for them to deny you unemployment but I really don't think it will come to that. And why the fuck wouldn't you stand up for yourself and say you had nothing to do with it. It sounds like this person threw you under the bus why not do the same.

The only way you would be "throwing him under the bus" is if you promised him you would back him up and he actually coordinated his email with you before you refused to say anything. If he's going to guilt you for saying nothing, then you should kindly remind him he didn't give you a say before he sent the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
