My supervisor gave away my last 2 weeks shifts (over £1000 worth) and has now taken me off site with a poor excuse and is dodging all my questions. Should I prepare to get booted???

Bring in the bad jokes! They are needed and GOG community have many and plenty!
It's better to prepare for a boot to the ass than a shaft up the ass, the shaft hurts more ;-)


But truly I hope you don't lose your job. Good luck!
I don't know how the job security laws (if any) are in UK, but from your description of events it seems kind of fishy..
And even if you don't get booted, such behaviour of my supervisor or anyone up the chain would be a sign for me to at least update my CV and get in contact with a few headhunters.

<Bad Joke>
At least you already got the right ForumAvatar for getting booted :P
</Bad Joke>

This company "Securitay" is one huge disorganised mess. They wouldn't ever do anything considerate for us.

I feel your pain, good sir. I work as a "contract employee" at my current job. For those who don't know, a "contract employee" is a fancy name for "that guy who works here that we can fire whenever we want with little to no repercussions." I try not to think of every day as potentially being my last day, but I always keep it in the back of my mind. This company has let me go before only to call me back a year later, so they've set a precedent.

My advice to you is to continue to do your very best with whatever assignment(s) they give you while, simultaneously, mentally and financially preparing yourself for unemployment. If you're prepared for it, there's a chance that Fate will favor you. Fate likes to catch us with our pants down, so as long as you are prepared, you should hopefully be able to roll with whatever happens.

I wish the best of luck to you, sir.

As for bad jokes, allow me to share the two that are included on the piece of Laffy Taffy that I have in front of me:

What store do dogs refuse to go to? The flea market!

Why did the baby ghost cry? 'Cause it had a boo-boo!

God damn those jokes really are bad! I love it haha. I'll find out tonight but after being screwed around so much it's really the only thing that comes to mind is being sacked.
Well, you know, there is also this "Fight Club" tactic.. XD

Unemployment always sucks, so I wish you good luck in that matter.

As for bad jokes...

I know some jokes about unemployment, but they need some work.
Sounds like it, good luck.

Hard to get a job these days and then when you have one you still worry about maintaining it.
Hm... I know a stupid joke but it's not about unemployment. Maybe with some adjustments...

So, three unemployed men wearing turbans enter a bar. The barman asks "What is this? Some kind of Sikh unemployment joke?".

Nail'd it.

That elicited an actual groan from me.

So +1!
I hope it turns alright!

Bad jokes:

"You know you’ve been unemployed too long when you are having an out of money experience."

Its clearly been to long since i played any of the fallout games and not recognizing the pipboy image in full.
Just saw one guy kicking the other.

Hope you'll get lucky and keep your job, if its so bad/difficult finding new ones in your area.

As for another bad joke:

Q. What's the worst thing about the growing unemployment?
A. It gets harder to screw your girlfriend with her husband home.
I agree, the supervisor's behavior sounds suspicious. But then, maybe he's preparing some kind of birthday surprise for you? If your birthday is close, that is. Anyway, hope things will work out fine!

Joke? Hm. Instead, I just wanna thank sidewalks for keeping me off the street.
I hope you don't get booted :( It's bs that they are taking a piss on you like that.

Bad Joke:

Well, if you are let go I wouldn't work in the elevator industry. I hear they have lots of ups and downs.
