1. Yikes
The curiosity is just about killing me. What was the job, a mortician?

3. IT support but it was more like a draconian call-centre

2. I once had a job for just about the same amount of time
as a receptionist in a podiatrist's office. I wasn't very good and the doctor's I suspect took me on in desperation. I was gone after only a few days. Just as you say, there was relief on everyone's part.

5. Why are they having you stay on one more week?
No offense intended, but if it were me, I would not prolong mutual discomfort by a week.

6. I'm just finishing up my notice period.
It's going to be an uncomfortable week but the boss and main protagonists are on leave next week.

It sounds like bullying in reverse!

7. Yep, my husband's last good job
Company got sold, new owners came in on Friday and said "don't worry, you all still have jobs for at least 90 days while we transfer holdings". Monday morning the door was locked and a notice posted saying they were all fired.
