[quote=Anonymous]Hi all!

Sorry for the late update but the lunch was very long and I wanted to talk to DH first. Thank you for waiting!

Unfortunately, my employment has been terminated as of today. The twist - which kind of explains why it was (or could be done) over the lunch - is that the CEO is kind of terminated as well (not officially gone, but renegotiating his contract which was supposed to run for another year). In fact, the whole office is closed in addition to 2 other offices (there is only one office left).

We met at his hotel (Hilton at 16 & K) and walked to some Italian restaurant (close to Metro Center station). It was a long walk - he asked about my toddler and husband, talked about his kids, and bought some pens along the way. Then, when we came to the restaurant, he started complaining about the company (the big one that owns us) and kind almost forced me to ask if the DC office is closed. Then he said, yes, I am here to deliver bad news etc. But the lunch went forever - he talked about his plans (starting a new business) and how he wants me to be a consultant in that, and to ask him for references... and then back to how the big company is doing things wrong etc. Which all kind of explains why he felt comfortable doing it over lunch because it looks like it wasn't really his decision. At no point was I or anything I did or not do mentioned in relation to my own termination.

It sucks.
