How I got fired.

[Estil]

Don't these corporate-meatheads realise that most customers hate corporate-scripted anything??

Fixed for ya.

[Sliceanddice]

Not sure that Jack in the Crack qualifies as either a job or a way to make money, to be honest. Good luck!

you would be right my good sir. im looking for another job right now. seeing as i haven't been on the schedule the last two weeks.

[MoonCat]

I would say that you no longer have that job...that is usually a good indication that they have let you go. At least that has been what I've seen over my years working.

Until the day they find themselves short-handed and they call the OP and say "You haaaaave to come in today!" With any luck it will be months after the OP has moved and can say "screw you, I don't work there anymore."

[Kittykat]

Unemployment, file for it. And when they ask why, tell them exactly what happened. That because of an irate customer (member, whatever they call it where you worked) you were fired. Depending on what state you live (If US) you should be protected under the law.

Nice. See if you can file for unemployment while you look. They are trying to weasle out of unemployment by not actually letting you go. There is a limit in most states as to how long they can pull that trick. Find out what the limit is and stick em with it.

happened three times last week. i had to tell them no once cause i would have wound up working in my wibbly wobbly sexy wexy shirt as i kept getting called in and had no chance to do laundry. if im not scheduled next week im going to see about filing for unemployment.

[otakuneko]

I am then told im fired. Because i never used the word sorry.

Bullshit.

Even if you'd said sorry a dozen times, they most likely would've fired you.

At which point you say into the phone, "I got 99 problems, but your job ain't one!"

[Argabarga]

So, they essentially fired you over failure to dot a single "i"

Wow

Good riddance, your mental health isn't worth that kind of iron-fisted nitpicking.

try south. like 20 miles from mexico. i moved to sierra vista to help my mom who has diabetic retinopathy and because i had no job.

My grandparents (dad's side) were out there homesteading before there was a Sierra Vista.

Sierra Vista? My condolences. I spent a day there once. It took me weeks to scrub the dullness from my personality.

You think Sierra Vista's dull? Try hanging out in Hereford with nothing to do but harass a poor tarantula that had the bad luck to wander through my step-grandmother's yard!

[Sliceanddice]

Bullshit.

Even if you'd said sorry a dozen times, they most likely would've fired you.

according to the survey rules if i said sorry even sarcastically i coudnt be fired. its why the people who cpme to work smlling like pot couldn;t get fired

If you go to rat race rebellion they have online jobs that do customer service. Apple was up today looking for chat tech support. If i knew apple I would have applied. And it was graveyard. bleh.

But they do have call center jobs and they give precedence to people with experience.

You think Sierra Vista's dull? Try hanging out in Hereford...

Hereford must be dull....I've never even HEARD of it!
