Was let go the day my now ex broke up with me. Turns out the boss that let me go had been sleeping around with her. He was twice her age married with 3 kids.
Side note, the best part was nobody could give me a reason why I was being let go. They were both fired by his wife on my 21st birthday. (He was part owner of the place we worked at.)
my buddies here at work are contracted out. have nothing to gain by getting me fired. i picked em good. haha. as much as i doubt they would try such things, i do still make sure my rear is covered.Work buddies most of the time are just that. Also remember not to crap where you eat. You can find mates anywhere else but work.
I'm pissed for you, dude.
And as for my ridiculous reason:
Meijer of Carmel - rated the worst Meijer to work at due to the shoppers there (no offense. I shop there..... they refer to the rich community there as the difficult ones. i'm poor. =D )
16 months good solid work cashiering and cart gathering (more of the cart gathering than anything else after only 4 months in). Missed 0 days of work, arrived late only once due to a flat tire, which occurred around 12 months into working there.
One day I'm forced to do carts on a day I was already under the weather a little bit as I have annual sinus infections / head colds. Well long story short, I threw up three times that day. After I threw up a third time I went to the Asst. Manager, who was my direct supervisor and told her. She told me "If you go home, don't come back."
Well, I did. And I didn't. At least not as an employee
It was fun, though. I got her old fat ass a write-up when the GM called me asking me why I wasn't in work one day; told him I was fired. He apologized and told me I wasn't - too bad for them I had a job lined up already.
Great line..is that an original? That was the way I felt when I was called in by my boss. I thought I was getting a raise, since my annual reviews were all excellent....... Some days the only choice we have is our choice of attitude. Blessings.
My all time favorite was getting fired for quitting!
...i slept with girl at work. good times right?...
she started dating guy on the same line i worked. he got lippy and whatnot.
she and him conjured up the idea that i was running my mouth to the people working on line about our intimate times. obviously not the truth.
well.. any woman who screams sexual harassment wins... so i got fired.
Loose lips sink ships...
At least you're being paid to surf on INGO.Great line..is that an original? That was the way I felt when I was called in by my boss. I thought I was getting a raise, since my annual reviews were all excellent.
What I got was... fired. I had no idea why and Management wasn't telling.
I got my first hint when they asked me to sign an agreement not to sue them for age discrimination, or else I would get no severence pay.(classy, eh?)
The guy at my desk the next day was just a few years out of school, from a department that was closing down. Funny thing...I liked the guy, too.
I was out of work for more than a year, also, so I understand what you are going through. My "choice of attitude" at that time was (still is) that I surely don't want to work for folks that don't want me there.
My new job paid about 1/3 of what I was making.That was 8 years ago. Now I'm up to 1/2. WoooHooo!!
No offense to the wonderful lady's that post in this forum but I will never, ever, ever again work with a female supervisor/dispatcher. Have had way to many bad experiences and do not wish to have any more. Love the lady's, great to know and be around, suck to work for. Never again.
I have heard alot of doozies. I was a victim of management needing a scapegoat. IMO most middle management are just trying to advance their stalled career and really don't care about their employees. Trying to prove they "can make the big decision" and get that promotion. The ones I have known tend to be miserable bastards.
............
For the first 3 years I worked there, she was the coolest person I had ever worked for. We had one diss agreement and from that day on she turned into another person toward me.
And somehow I believe that you're not. At least today, anyway.At least you're being paid to surf on INGO.
