Good news and bad news

[Ton]

The good news is that I will have a lot of time to stick around IHN and work on it.



The bad news, I was fired today. Who's hiring?

Shitty time to get fired. Family friend was fired on Friday, although he pretty much new it was coming, they had been advertising his position for a few weeks.



Here's to hoping you find employment quickly.

That's really shitty Ton. What did you do? What can you do? I will keep my ears open.

It was in retail, they stuck me with the worst shifts... today I was 3 hours late, and I told them about it in advance -- you'd think with all the crappy hours I took they could cut me some slack, but the store director was pissed and pulled the trigger. Good luck finding someone that never complained, flexible with hours, and worked harder than the average employee while we are currently at the busiest time of the year. Everyone there literally talks about how lazy they are, how they don't want to work, how they just don't give a ****... etc.. etc.. not only did I work hard, but also kept all negative thoughts to myself and was even more positive and upbeat than some of the managers that work there. This is the 2nd time that I've been fired for complete bullshit after working my ass off for the company, just because someone had a power trip. The 1st time it happened, the company actually had to hire 2 people to fill my position.



I've worked in sales and retail, also food biz. I'm not looking for a full time job, but I do need something while I'm taking classes to give me some cash to go out, pay bills, and not to mention keep IHN open for business.

That is shitty Ton. Who fires people this time of year? At least wait until the new year. I think that's fucking rude myself. I can tell without ever having met that manager that he is an asshole and doesn't know how to manage employees. Again I have major issues with a lot of managerial skills in the work force these days. Another example right here.



I have been jobless for 6 months due to health and It sucks. Been the worst 6 months I have ever had. Im not one who copes well with not working even though I have had time to paint a lot which is the only positive.



You will find work in the new year though. You are young, smart and energetic and I believe you when you say you work your ass off and are dedicated. That's a good combo of characteristics and should give you a lot of chances. Looking for work is not fun but just keep thinking change is good and that will be a great motivation. If I were a manager I would hire you.

Really sorry to hear that. What a tremendous jerk. Hope you find something soon. I'll think good thoughts for you.

Maybe he/she fired you cause you were too sexy and you were too much of a temptation for them to keep their hands off of.

I didn't think she was anything special, but, I'm not a man

I got the big heave ho from a job making nearly $20/hr just a week before Xmas myself, that was in 2004. I know exactly what a huge downer it is, having been in yer shoes. I hope you are still able to enjoy the holidays regardless. I have worked in retail too and I know what head trips some of those managers get on, not a damn thing you can do about it when they've made there minds up to get rid of you. It sucks, they suck and you sir most definitely DON'T suck!



As a former co-worker of mine from that nuke job I got dumped from used to say "**** 'em in their neck!" Look at it as an unplanned vaca, and a chance to catch up with family and friends.

Meh, she's average at best. One of the hygienists in my last dentists office, homina, homina, homina...



Funning thing tho, and I spose ironic too, as hot as she was, her breath could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon! Talk about beauty AND the beast!

Ton, as others have stated, you aren't the only one to be fired during the holiday season. **** 'em. You have bigger and better things in store for yourself. Good luck with the classes and finding those extra dollars to get you through.

And what have you learned Ton? Hard work and a good attitude get you fired but apathy, laziness keep you employed.

Thats pretty true.

 

[MassHavoc]

Sucks to hear, but at least we keep you plenty busy around here. Make the most of this time, not just around here but with your family and friends.

Funny thing is, as I was walking out the door he was like "just chalk it up as a learning experience" and I told him the same exact thing you said.

Good so you've learned your lessson? and you next job you will do just enough to remain employed.

bet you got fired because you work harder than your supervisor. he probably felt like you were a threat to his job. seen that one before. i had a coworker spy on me and write up a work summary of me once. best part is i had a massive flu bug at the time so indeed i did make a few gaffs but nothing huge. no one took into account i wasnt allowed to take time off and was sick as all hell. i felt totally betrayed and i know he did it to get my better shifts. my manager didnt listen to my side and from that day forward i lost interest in my job and respect for my manager and co worker. they lost a dedicated employee with that stunt.
