Holy crow! Well, it's better to *not* work for an asshat boss, but being fired always sucks, at least a little. But good luck to him now, trying to keep people happy without you there to do what you do. I envy him his months and months of complaining phone calls as he tries to explain how what you guys send out will not be done the same way that C did it.

Do you get severance? Or is that just if you're downsized, not fired? Or does that not apply where you are?
