Fired! (epic)

*gives hugs and cookies to customersruinmylife*

I am near speechless.

Did she not wake up in tons of pain and just as many bruises?? As sadistic as it sounds, if I were you I would hope she WOULD try to come back just to see the drama.

But you don't need THAT situation or anything NEAR it again

Since its your last week though, all you have to remember is S.E.P. - somebody elses's problem

[BookstoreEscapee]

I'm guessing this is why some bars don't allow the employees to drink there on their time off....

I forgot to put in the original post. My boss said it sounded as though she had worken her up when she called, as she could barely talk when she answered the phone.

SB sent several texts to co-workers during the day asking what happened to her, none of them replied. The staff are absolutely disgusted with her behaviour. She was originally schedueled to work with me today! If she hadn't got punished then there would have been trouble!

Dang, is it bad I'd pay to have seen that?

You're still my Bartender Hero even if you're not going to be one for much longer. *sends HUGE loves*

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Somewhat related, or maybe not, there's a legislative move afoot in Cheeselandialand to require bartenders to maintain absolute sobriety while working.

Which kinda screws with some local traditions surrounding bar dice, which require you to buy shots for the bartender, or even everybody in the bar, in certain situations. But it's never a good thing to have the bar staff being totally potched, even when they're not working.

When I worked at the restaurant, we were allowed only 1 freebie shift drink and any more drinks would be on our own dime. Leave it for some idiot to ruin it for the others.

[Racket_Man]

OK Where is the video from the cameras in your pub????? that would be an interesting watch.

[Sliceanddice]

Staff are banned from drinking in the pub for a month. ICW isn't very popular at the minute.

I am very glad I am leaving next week! I can't be bothered with the fallout of this.

woohoo to the story and all and i offer you peanut butter cookie ice cream and a cherry limeaid chiller (yes i know its two forms of ice cream but the limeaid is sweet and the peanut butter is more savory) but what about ex-employee????? ARE THEY banned?

[MannersMakethMan]

It is exactly like you said. We take enough shit off the customers in here. We WILL NOT take it off the staff.

Something like this didn't ought to have to be said, but it's amazing what some managers will put up with just to keep a body in place. Good on your manager for recognising what's important!

[energyguy]

On the upside at least you have a boss who will fire bad co-workers when needed, rather than keep them on because he/she/it can't be bothered searching for a replacement.

Well, the timing couldn't have been better Quite a lot of people are leaving the pub over the next couple of weeks. I'm going, pregnant co-worker is going on maternity leave, a cook is moving away to be closer to his kids, another cook has been offered a better job, and at least six other members of staff are off to unviersity! My boss put an ad in the local paper and we've had over 100 people applying for ten jobs, so it's not like she's gonna have difficulty finding someone else.

[poofy_puff]

I am continually amazed by the shit you go through.

One thing however: the common factor is YOU!

I hope your social life is better than your work life!

[bainsidhe]

Now is ICW called Idiot Coworker because of his contribution to the shenanigans or because he hauled SB away before the cops could? Perhaps he should be called Super Idiot Coworker. Curse him for ruining our fun.

So sorry you had to go through this. Wishing you less suckiness during your last week (though we will miss the stories !

I don't know what it is, I think I have a magnet that attracts trouble, but it only seems to happen at work. At the moment my social live is quite...boring!
