Since things aren't really tricky enough for me right now, last week I got this:
---
We are the bearer of bad news today. If you recall Audra, the Management Committee had said that it had been a requirement of your job to submit a task sheet in order to complete the organizational renewal of rabble. Being on that Committee, Diane Touchette has asked you for this time sheet since last November and still have received nothing from you. Every other staff member at rabble has sent in their reports and as a result the Committee was able to (almost) complete the organizational renewal process.
As a consequence, we feel that it is best that we let you go from your position at rabble. Hopefully, members of the Management Committee can guide you in the transition and maybe even help you in finding other employment.
Effective immediately, we are removing your privileges as Moderator of babble.
We are very sorry that it has come to this and wish you luck in your future endeavours.
We truly value the work you have done for rabble, especially in its formative years. But, we feel this is best.
In recognition of the contribution that you have made to rabble, we have agreed to pay you a lump sum of $1,500. A final pay will be sent to you upon receipt of your invoice at the end of the month.
Sincerely,
rabble's Management Committee

The first question is "Are they fucking kidding me?" to which the answer is no.
The second question is "So after 5 years of building the most successful part of a site, and putting up with late cheques and decreased hours and all sorts of unpaid time I got fired by email by a member of the management committee for not filling out a form?" to which the answer is yes.
The third question is "How hurt and angry am I right now?" to which the answer is very."
I have to admitt that when Audra banned me from posting on Babble I was somewhat pissed. Now, I'm pissing myself with laughter.
Note to Audra: This life lesson was brought to you by a little concept called "individual responsibility". If you ever choose to work in a capitalist based system again, you actually have to DO the job you're being paid to do.
