Asymmetrical Information

Depends on where you get sacked from. I know at least one person who was just WAITING to get fired. Finally did, had a party.

It also depends on how you get sacked. Getting fired in a hail of shouting, legal threats and previously repressed opinions means you leave a legacy that will live on far longer than your time there...

Getting sacked with a nice severance package is pretty sweet, and often a cause for festivities.

Anyhow, if you're not working for those foreigners any more you don't have to use words like "sacked" where "fired" will do. We did, after all, dump their tea in that harbor (note spelling.)

'moved on to better things', has much the nice ring to it, no? Congratulations on your liberation. Care to share what your next move after work-decompression is?

And, if she's not working for the dern ferigners any more then will she stop spelling "color" with a "U"?

Well, congratulations, whatever it is...

Maybe she's marrying one of those dern ferigners, so she'd sticking with the spelling that uses all those extra letters. Although, given her status as an environmentalist, you'd think she'd think twice before wasting letters. Think of all the extra electrons she's burned over the years!

The lost productivity due to the extra letters is the main reason the filthy furriners haven't developed beyond socialism.

I'm very sorry to hear this; The Economist clearly didn't know the value of the property they had on their hands. If I had a subscription, I'd cancel it.

I work in DC and would be happy to meet for coffee. Fair warning! I'm an government adjunct at George Mason University and will lobby you to be a guest speaker!

But, you 'll get a cuppa out of it.

Oh, never mind, I just actually read the post correctly. I didn't parse through all the negatives the first time. Well, congratulations then.

So coy! So when are you going to tell your fans the good news?

Actually, the last time I was canned, a bunch of my co-workers came by my apartment after work and a party broke out. Looking back on it 22 years later, I realize that it really was something to celebrate, though it wasn't so clear at the time.

Congratulations, good luck, have fun bumming around for a while, and we really look forward to hearing about your new gig.

The blogger "Fake Steve Jobs" has been outed.

Maybe a fake Jane Galt is spreading misinformation while the real Jane relaxes.

It is quite apparent that Megan has been cast in a major role for the first film installment of The Silmarillion- most likely as an elf.

Until Megan can confirm or deny, I can only but repeat what I read on the internets. And we know everything on the internets is true.

Crank, even if that is true it doesn't mean that she got fired. Leaving the Economist could be entirely voluntary.
