I just got fired.

I was totally blind-sided by it. Never even had a clue it was coming.

I've been working a job for a little less than three months. I liked it and had planned on making a career out of it. Today I got paired with a guy I've been filling in for. He supposedly has a bad wrist and is on light duty. I've been doing the job without him for the past two months and everything has been getting done. I've heard no complaints.

Well this guy really starts cracking the whip and trying to get me to do all sorts of things that other people in that position don't have to do. He's not my boss. He's on the same level as me. We are just regular employees. I tell him that if the boss wants me to do that stuff he needs to tell me.

So this little shit goes off and calls the boss and the human resources manager at home and I don't know what he told them. They come in and call me into a meeting. They told me that they've gotten word that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing not only with the little shit who called them, but in other areas as well. They tell me that a guy who works inside says I'm lazy and I don't work well with him. This guy has never said a thing to me about it and I've always done what he's asked. But he's been going to HR frequently it seems and telling them all kinds of lies about me.

I tried to give them my side of the story, but I think the fix has been in for quite some time here and they didn't believe a word I said.

What has happened is that one person decided they didn't like me for some reason unknown to me, and since I was in my probationary period they decided to go on a little campaign. I had a hard time not having legal problems due to that person today. I stormed out of the office cussing up a storm. I could have gone one way and beat the living shit out of somebody or I could have gone the other and cleared out my locker. Fortunately probably for a lot of people, I chose the locker.

I wrote on here the other day that I think a majority of Americans are bat chit crazy. This only affirms that belief in my mind. It takes a total lack of the capacity for empathy to do what they did to me there today.

Yea, it's not his fault, he didn't do anything wrong, he's just being picked on and the boss doesn't like him. Man this guy is a case...

Wasn't he reported/reprimanded last week for sleeping on the job? The circumstances of that, plus this new "incident" suggest to me that some one was building up a case file toward this firing for at least a couple of months.

I thought they'd do it this Friday or next. They weren't giving him anything to do for the last couple of days and that's usually a sign they are going to fire you at their convenience.

Sounds like he showed his again on his way out, doubt the old job will want him back, either.

NONE!

Do not say anything bad about them in person or in social media. It will serve you no purpose whatsoever and may come back to bite you in the ass.

In fact, let this thread run its course then delete your OP.

Oh c'mon!  It was their lack of capacity for empathy that did him in. 

As for UE, I guess it depends on the state.  In NY, they have hampered economic activity to such a degree that they tend to throw crumbs to the little people, strong-arming any remaining companies into ponying up.  I think if you quit, though, you are SOL. 

Oh BTW, KamaAina also got fired.  Probably for being the stupidest person on earth.

25. I am so sorry Tobin.
 
I just lost mine two months ago. Yes fired and yes they were mean to me. You should have no problem with benefits. File right away, there is a 2 week lag for benefits to kick in.

It has been 10 years since I was last unemployed. Ummm there are reams of paperwork to fill out now and I do mean reams. I hate picking up my mail now. The first batch I got from them were 6 very thick envelopes. I am going nuts.

"Going" nuts?!? You're alrady there and beyond, primitive.

Who'd have thought this Dear Leader and Cankles suck-up would have gotten fired? The first thing that comes to mind when I think of someone who is a left-wing political zealot is "stable personality and hard working."

 :rotf: :lmao: :rotf:

Yea, that's it. Stable and hard working.  :rotf:

I thought all this wasn't suppose to happen during Dear leaders reign.

If what Tubby Tobin says above is true that they called in the boss and HR person in from home then it was a very serious offense that required immediate termination and it was not as he indicated about not following directions. 

If it were the latter HR would take the time to have his final check, exit interview and a security guard escort most likely at the beginning of his next shift.  I wonder what the real story is?

There's certainly indicators in this that there's a whole lot more to this story:

Being laid off is different from being fired, but in the several times I've been laid off I've NEVER "stormed out of the office cussing up a storm". Not even close. And if he really was canned the same day as the final straw, he must've done something VERY serious (and well documented!).

Reads a lot like you got fired for being a zero-initiative clock-punching drone putting the minimum into it, with a union 'Work to rule' attitude and no actual union to hide behind.  Tough titty, Tobin.

I am a little confused by the words and wisdom of Tobin. He states that he has to work 6 days/week to make it and then he also states that he has enough in savings to get by for a while.

But on reflection I should be confused since I'm basically, as Tobin himself would say Bat Sh%# Insane. What's worse is I don't even know it, I have no clue. Education is the key, or so they say. I think I shall go to college and get a degree in sociology. Or maybe an MBA in something. Or a CDL. At least until I get this all figured out somewhat.

Can someone please send out some vibes?

  Government requirements, aren't they fun?  Sheshe exaggerates about the volume, but there is one tricky piece of paperwork that may prove troublesome.  The record of work search efforts.  It's auditable at a moment's notice.
