    You can't fire ME!

    Okay, this is a story I got from my stepdad, after work one day, which He got from his boss.

    His boss was watching the whole time

    DICLAIMER: I can't remember the conversation word for word, so I'm recreating it as best I can. And no real names were used

    IS: Idiot Secretary
    MA: Manager



    Okay, apparently, this secretary was gonna get fired. No secret. Everyone who worked at the building knew as much. She didn't work enough, she did her job wrong, and she was just a bad employee. Now, so the manager come up and explains that she's fired.

    MA: Cindy, I'm sorry but we have to fire you
    IS: WHAT?! You can't fire me!!
    MA: I'm afraid we have to
    IS: WHY?!?

    At this time the manager explained (kindly of course) how she hadn't been doing her job

    IS: You can't fire me!! I need this job!
    MA: We have to. You haven't been working properly, so we have to let you go
    IS: No, I am STAYING, and KEEPING my job!
    MA: That's not your choice anymore, Cindy
    IS: I'm not LEAVING!!
    MA: Cindy, if you do not leave the property, we'll have to call the police
    IS: YOU CAN'T MAKE ME LEAVE!!!
    MA: Cindy, please leave NOW

    At this point, Cindy picks up a phone, dials a number, and what does she say/shriek?

    IS: BRING ME THE GUN!!!!!!


    Needless to say, shortly after the police WERE calling, and Cindy was escorted out of the building. Thankfully, no one ever DID show up with a gun. Who ever it was obviously knew better.
    I haven't heard anything about her since



    I don't know what your problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce

    You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers

    Oh Bog what a candidate for natural selection. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
    Because as we all know, on the Internet all men are men, all women are men and all children are FBI agents.

        That'll be nice, she can hug herself all day long.

          wow and I thought our trainer had it bad last week when calling the list of new hires/trainees to tell them not to come back because they had missed too much training(we sign a form when hired stating if we miss even one day of training-we're termed)-some actual quotes from the three hours he spent on the phone terming less than 5 people-(I only heard his side sadly)

          "yes the attendance policy says five "occurances", but your not being termed for attendance-you singed a form saying if you missed a day of training you would be termed"

          "you said you'd be out one day, you've been gone for 4"

          "this is not just my decision, I spoke with your manager, the operations manager, the site director, and human resources"(this employee apparently accused the trainer of being racist)

          "yes you did sign the form I have it in front of me right now"

          "No you can't "just get by"-you missed the day where you learn how to use the main system for customer accounts-your class starts taking calls today how are you supposed to take calls when you don't even know how to login to the system?"

          some of these calls lasted over 30 minutes-funny you couldn't be bothered to show up for several days but now that you're being told you don't have to-you argue for 30 minutes
          Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes

            We had a similar case (no gun, thankfully) when I was working in a labor group for another law firm. A woman was fired and would not leave the building. She sat down in the lobby of the building and refused to go. Security was afraid to touch her, so they surrounded her and waited for the police. All the while, the woman is screaming, crying, freaking out, making calls on her cell phone, putting on quite a show. This lasted for at least half an hour, in the main lobby of a huge, internationally-known company.

            If you ever want to work in a branch of law that can have you laughing, crying, your jaw on the floor and grossed out, all in the same day, labor and employment is for you!

                if anyone did that around here they would be seeing a gun, but it wouldn't be pointing the direction they had originally intended
