tanithryudoOne of those water cooler stories... or in this case told by our Solaris instructor from Sun Microsystems during break time...
So he was contracted in to this global insurance company... Zurich or something unpronouncable like that. And on the day he got to the place (a Canada branch office or something), there was like 50 taxi's parked out back.
As it turns out, it was a day for layoffs... and people who were laid off were first escorted by security to their desk to have their passwords and stuff reset, and then out back into a taxi where they're sent off home. Of course they're free to get out a few blocks away and walk back to get their car which they parked at the company when coming to work...
All this so as to disclaim from any possible liability, insurance-wise, on their last day.
...
Yeah.
