I want to get into cybersecurity. I am willing to learn about it and do the job effectively. My dumbfuck cornfed manager said they want to make sure i have a "passion" for it. No, i will not think about cybersecurity day and night like i'm in love with it, you dumb fuck middle manager.
I expect an awkward meeting with HR and the boss like: "We're concerned about your passion for this career. What's going on?" Ibthink they figure if they get you to admit that you've lost interest on record, they can can you with less fear that you'll collect unemployment.
Remember kids: Always be vague about why your numbers have dropped. Say you're doing your best, act like youre taking their advice, and when it fails, say you tried it and you're sorry. If they offer a severance, read the terms and make sure it's not an admission of fault.
Those 6 months of unemployment pay are the only glimpses of freedom most of us get. Don't let them deny you your respite
