Yep. I wouldn't be surprised if I get laid of or let go because things are pretty grim where I work. There are only a few people left in the IT department plus one useless manager. If they get rid of me my revenge will be not answering the phone when they find out they got rid of the wrong person. Without regular maintenance of our geriatric hardware and systems things will start to break and the morons will not know how to fix them.
Fine by me, I am ready for a career change.
I am one of those poor sods that actually have to do IT work. I am the MacGyver of the IT department. If no one else can figure something out they give it to me. Guess what, I enjoy the status of unending servitude. My boss though is exactly as described. It is my opinion that he is a waste of perfectly good protoplasm and he just got rid of the one person that could back me up. If go on vacation, quit or get hit by a bus he, and the company, are going to be in a world of hurt.

Individually, we aren't that stupid. As a species? Yes, we are that stupid.
Preach, brother! I am thinking of doing the same thing for the same reasons.
