Fired and Fucked

Well you can add me to this list of jobless losers, because for the 2nd time in my life I got fired. No real clear explanation as to why.......my now former boss said, that I treat this job like a paycheck, and take no pride in it, and that there were a few attendance issues, and he should have let me go 4 months ago, at my 90 day evaluation.

Then why the fuck did they give me a dollar worth of raises in 7 months time? Why did they not come talk to me and let me know their issue's with me earlier, instead of stringing me along, letting me think everything was just fine? Why wasn't i written up, warned or talked to? All questions i asked, but answered by beating around the bush. For a lack of better explanation.

So after he said what he had to say, i asked him if there was anything I could say or do to change his mind and give me another chance, because I cant be jobless........and he said no, he was going to let me go, so I told him I needed my w-2's so I can do my taxes, because they haven't given them out yet, and he said that he would mail them to me, I said they need to give them to me today, because today is legally the last day they can give them out w/o getting in trouble, we argued, I said give me my fucking w-2's now, or there is going to be more trouble than you want right now..........because I was ready to knock him the fuck out..........

So he goes in his office and gets my w-2's, while the rest of the employee's are in shock after I told them I was just fired, got my w-2's and came home.

This is why I fucking hate people and the fucking world......... And I really hate having to have to work to survive.........because unless your a business owner, your just teetering on the brink of being employed and content, to unemployed and homicidal

hope you all have a FUCKING lovely day at work!

Well, next job you get you should maybe try and use some of that income to launch your own biz on the side. Once that picks up enough, you can give your boss the fuck you and walk out and do your own thing. Have you ever look at realestate appraising? It may not be something you're like oh hell ya that sounds interesting. BUT once you've done the education and apprentice portions, you can pretty much work for yoruself, you take jobs/applointments on your terms when you want to. Once you become known for doing a good job, you can pull in 100k/year easily. Even today in the housing shit market, appraisers are in high demand because banks who are taking the houses back still need to get thema ppraised as do the people potentially buying the house. Look into it, seriously. Don't let your boss fuck your whole day, who needs'em. Fire up the xbox and have some fun, you can worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I've been witnessed some of the pre-firing meetings that managers have. Things go wrong and managers blame others. This being the end of January, it's possible your boss got hassled about 4th quarter results and decided it was the new guy's fault. Obviously, I don't know what really happened, I'm just saying I wouldn't let your boss's comments bother you. It sounds like a load of crap. Best of luck to you, I hope you wind up with a better boss next time.

hubristes.......that actually makes a little sense, we were higher thus far in sales, but the failure and return rate was higher.......and me, the new guy, low man on the totem pole.......so yeah, makes sense, its been about 4 hours now, I'm no longer homicidal, lol thanks for the positive words

I totally understand. I have taken the plunge to be my own boss its hardwork but rewarding. It didnt work out for me, but i feel great to have tried it. Now I am still searching for the right answer. It sounds like you have a great partner in life. I think that is the first advantage you have. Stay strong and good luck.

Make sure you file for unemployment. Since it doesn't sound like your employer had justification for terminating you, they are on the hook to pay your unemployement. They might contest it, but since they have no documentation showinig that you were given any kind of warning, they'll lose. F them.

Sorry. Your boss was a fucking asshole. His definition of pride probably means "I can cant control and fuck this guy over to my liking so I'll just fire him". Or "I feel threatened by this employee that's really sharp, better boot him while I can"

I got fired, then when I tried to collect unemployment my former boss fought it. Doesn't matter anyways, because I finally found a paying job as a production artist which is what I've wanted to do... something in the art field. It doesn't pay near what I used to make, but you know what? I get up everyday, and whistle my ass off all they to work because I'm HAPPY! That in and of itself is worth the pay-cut. Everything happens for a reason. I know you like music, are there any studios nearby you could work at?
