I just got fired (Tobin)

[98ZJUSMC]

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!).

Most assuredly.  Funny how those well documented (and they were, Tubs) incidents always come as a complete surprise to these types. 

Or, we're just simply enjoying rolling our eyes at your

OTOH, Illinois democrats are driving companies that have union workers out of the state with other regulations and taxes.

Oh, yeah...

Every time I come across an ex-So Illinois coal miner, down here, I remind them of who they voted for FOR DECADES and who drove them to working at Casey's Quick Mart and the Dollar Store.   

Blithering idiots.  Oh, they're pissed .................


....now.  Too late.  No sympathy.

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?

That is what I was thinking.  I think that he started the job, they figured out he could/would not cut the mustard, and brought in the guy that was either gonna train him to do what he needed to do or get rid of him. Tubbs pushed back and the guy called the boss and said failure.  Canned his ass.

I think he left his last job one step ahead of the termination.

I had some hopes for Tubbs. Seemed to have a little ambition.  Alas, he turned out to be another run of the mill lazy dummie and the end result is what we have here.

Dollars to donuts Tobin didn't apply the adage about the best time to work at looking for a job.

That would interfere with his nap time!

Admittedly, in my younger days I found myself in the same position a couple of times in my first attempts at official employment (my first jobs were unofficial farm work etc)... high school jobs. McDonalds was the first one and a grocery store was the second. The indicators are there, you just need the cognitive abilities to see them, and the primitives seem to lack that basic skill. There's always indicators before you get canned and anyone with half an operating bean in their skull will recognize them and adjust. There's always a warning shot from employers.
Being an irresponsible teenager, I attracted attention to myself by goofing off. I learned in short order and have never been fired from a job as a result. I think everyone knows what I mean. Tubby apparently decided he could push as far as he wanted. Wrong.

I'm not the best at keeping the details, quirks, and predilections of prominent DU luminaries straight, but isn't Tobes a "union man" to the bone (or gelatin)?

What kind of dart tournament doesn't have beer?

Sorry BD but I have important things to worry about such as who's gonna pay for my Cadillac.

Pretty sure you are correct on that one. Besides, he's a DUmmie... it kinda comes with the persona.

Sad part in all this is he still has no clue why he was canned.

I suspect that he thinks it was because he is smarter than everybody else and they can't handle it.

That is the usual dummie thought process. 

As an experiment I would like to round up all the dummies, put them on an island and tell them that they can set up their own superior form of government. 

I figure within 6 months they would all be dead.

[Karin]

Funky, you were a teenager.  He's in his 40's!  Can you imagine not getting it by then?

I can. We call them dummies.

B-b-b-b-b-but...... he's was gonna square 'em away with his massive 6th Grade education?!?! 



How could that happen?

Objection, your honor.  Facts, not in evidence.

Talk about "Lord of the Flies"
William Golding could have based his book on those DUmmies.

OK you got me there. Objection sustained. H5!

That is an unfortunate symptom of primitivia. My FIL is a huge one, he would come home complaining about how stupid his management was. This went on for years and years, but there he remained, mired in production, struggling to get by. He was so proud of being the smartest one there, in his mind anyway.

Well, the closest thing we've had to that was the jury system, and look how that worked out.

Which iteration of the jury system?  The whole cluster**** "rules" at the DUmp is impossible to articulate.  Probably way too high level for most DUmp monkeys to evaluate & comprehend.

I would pay half of year's salary just to be a fly on the wall in the dummie utopia courtroom. Pay a year if I could record it for posterity.

DUmmy utopia courtroom?  OJ's criminal trial. Jury of his peers.

And if you were a DUmmie you'd have to ask for change back on your $5 bill.

The "DUmmie Utopia Courtroom" would resemble one of the "People's Court" trials in the wake of the asassination attempt on Hitler.

Whaddya mean? The Jury system is ]b]DUtopia[/b]! They just need to tweak it a little and do it right.
