Getting Fired Sux :|

[Carp]

So i Got fired today, please read on because I wasn't a lazy worker or anything just made a simple mistake.

At closing we are supposed to check out with a manager and they go over your closing work for the night. So I asked the manager to check me out and he said alright just a minute, so I sit down in a booth waiting for him. 30 minutes have gone by and he still hasn't talked to me or said anything. I figured because I had done all of my closing work and made sure all of my stuff was all caught up that I could go ahead and leave and clock out.

5 Minutes later I get a call from the manager yelling at me asking where I went blah blah blah...you could probably guess the rest.

Basically they said i was a very good worker and this was the only slip up i made and I got fired for it...sounds like BS to me.

[Sabb]

Damn, that sucks :/.
Was going to ask you how it went.

Wish ya luck.

How the...Is your manager really that much of a non-forgiving asshole?

[Carp]

yes....They don't care about bussers, I worked there for probably 5 months and I did work my ass off every time i went there.

I even said to him when I got fired don't you think a slap on the wrist would be more appropriate? Then the unintelligent one said "but if we let you slide then all the other bussers will think it's ok as well." That is just stupid because noone else even knew about the incident seeing as it was at 11:00 at night and I was the only busser on.

I feel this is relevant.




Good luck on either finding a new job, or getting rehired :L

My hopes are with you.

So this is very similar to my old boss where I worked. I worked at a local Dairy Queen. Indian boss so he's already very cheap and unfair. Well I worked there for about 2 months. But I already knew I was his least favorite employee. For example I was the first employee ever ordered to sweep the fucking parking lot. THE FUCKING PARKING LOT. That shits already clean. I don't know how much dirt he expected me to get, so here I am sweeping up cigarette butt here, cigarette butt over there. Just bullshit. And the fact he came out while I was doing it and said "you missed that over there" pointing at a fucking leaf near someones car. Anyway, so yeah the reason I was fired was because of the fact that... ahem.. ready?  I WAS FUCKING FIRED FOR NOT COMING TO WORK ON MY DAY OFF!

Friday

Fuck I was pissed. I came in that day to check my schedule because He hasn't called me in 3 days. (I had Friday-Sunday off) I look at my name and it was scratched out. But the manager wasn't there. So I called him, and he tells me I had work Sunday. But I'm fucking looking at the schedule and my names not there. So yeah, that's my story. But that was almost 2 years ago.

For advice Carp, you are quite the fine, riveting chap, one person such as myself might find pleasurable to help in a time of need such as yours.
Get the FUCK out of restaurant/food business as quick as possible. Especially if you're just bussing tables. Shit's not worth it. Take your time for now, don't expect anything too quick, and a new job WILL find you. After I was fired I applied at literally every building on the strip not a single person hired me. So obviously no one hires that way anymore. So what you need to do is call in bigger businesses. Places your friends dads or moms work at, where no teenager works. Like me, I went from Dairy Queen ice cream bitch to working in a BMW car plant making more money with same hours. And all I'm doing is cleaning, getting 9 bucks an hour. And all I had to be was 18 years old. No experience needed to clean is there? So basically, there ARE jobs that are available. You just have to dig deeper than you think. If there's a local building/plant or some kind of mill or factory around that you would never expect to walk into, try it out, do whatever you need to do to just clean or something at least.
(bigger businesses usually pay more money for simple jobs)

This is only advice for if you just can't find a job now that you've lost yours. Hope I could help, if not Carp than at least anyone else who get's fired from shit jobs.
Oh and Devie's mom gave me this job. make sure I reference that.

Great advice man.

[Peetah]

Omg that sucks so muuuch.
I am so thankful to have the job I love to do, to have this job as an immigrant myself and for the people there are very nice.
But anyways life goes on and there will always be nice people out there.
You were better off fired if your manager was that evil.

[Pryvisee]

Sounds almost like what happened about 1 day ago to me. But instead of getting fired, I get demoted.

Anyways, yours is worse. Mines just silly VIP lol. Hopefully I can start applying for a job this year. Almost 16.

[Shawn]

That sucks man, Hope you're able to find a new job or something...

[Carp]

Thank you all for your advice and kind words.

It really isn't a big deal that I got fired because I can now focus more on school and have more free time. But I'm still going to go looking for a job. Still I posted this because it feels really shitty to be fired and needed to hear some thoughts on the subject.

[me4488]

Carp: i cant give you advice, because i dont work, but i wish you luck and know that everything is gonna turn out great!
Also:

Hopefully I can start applying for a job this year. Almost 16.
