My company is going through a massive layoff. They haven’t announced it but all signs indicate tomorrow is the day. They aren’t going to send out emails. They will call me since I live out of state from the main office My supervisor is a pretty good dude and he will be the one to call. What’s something funny I could say to him? I know it sounds weird but this bums me out so I might as well try to have some fun with him? I already started looking for another job since last week we figured out most of us were going to get laid off.

“Damn, I thought this was going to be about boning your wife at the Christmas party last year, what a relief!”

Can't go wrong with a well-timed "deez nuts" joke.

In a joking way, bring up the anniversary of Killdozer. Say how that guy sure must have been mad to do such a thing. But keep it light; don’t want to scare the guy.

How about you stay up all night putting together a plan to increase revenue/profit in your department.

Show them you’re the hero the department needs, not the one it deserves, then HR will start cheering and your boss will give you a high five.

Be professional, ask if you can use him as a reference. Don’t burn any bridges. And hopefully you are getting a decent severance package.

When he calls, say “What a coincidence. I was going to call you today and let you know how thankful I am for my job. I’ve got some personal things going on in my life and without this job I just dont know how I’d go on”
