Topic: Ever Been Fired?

[Stratos]

Have you ever seen that Jeff Dunham ventriloquist skit with Walter where Walter says he wants to be a Wal-Mart greeter? "Welcome to Wal-Mart, get your **** and get out!"

I was more hoping Unclebob knew of it and would reply with that quote.

That is why I love Wal-mart so much, they tell you that without verbalizing it!

I've only been to 2 Wal-marts ever, one was a super wal-mart somewhere upstate and there was no greeter. The second was a 'regular' wal-mart near the city i work in and i've only been there a handful of times but only ONCE was there a greeter... but boy he did his job well!

Oh and that wasn't sarcasm, he was a very pleasant man, came off very freindly and genuine with his greeting.

If only he knew who he was greeting!

So tomorrow is sort of going to be a moment of truth. It is the day the new schedule is posted and I will find out if I've lost my main job through 'lack of hours' or not. I can badger the pizza places for some hours possibly and am applying at a nice custodial job my brother-in-law is quitting and he put in a good word for me.

I could also try and negotiate with the current boss to give me at least a few shifts. I mean, is it fairer to cut people entirely or just give a number of poeple lesser hours so they at least get a paycheck? We will see.

Well, on the bright side I'll have a lot more time for Conduit if I don't get hours again.

Hope everything works out.

This.

And by this i mean: Hope you have more time to play Conduit, you were pretty good.

[Stratos]

Well...thanks.


I'm sure there will be plenty of chances to play together soon.

On another note, my boss hasn't called me which is a good sign. Last week he called to tell me in advance that I was not going to be on the schedule so I wouldn't be shocked and surprised. The schedule typically goes up around 5-7PM.

Well looks like you get your wish. My boss just called me as I was logging on to the work site and informed me that due to certain sites closing for the holidays along with less clients I get no hours again.       

[Stogi]

Just quit.

Your story reminds of another in which my friend, who manages a restaurant, gave less and less hours to one of his employees till one day he just stopped giving him hours. He was trying to let him down easy instead of firing him, but eventually he had to tell him off.

Just quit and keep some dignity.

^That. When i used to work retail, this was a tactic used by the store manager to encourage someone to quit rather than have to fire them. Its a shitty tactic if you ask me, but i guess it works...

Do yourself a favor and start looking for other work.

I already have. The suckything is that I think it could have to do with two mistakes I made. I misread the military time and thought I was supposed to be at a sight at 8 and it was really 6. The second time I forgot my phone and since that is our only way of checking in we had to do a workaround. He wanted me to go buy a new phone on the spot.

:/

I have a pretty nice one thanks to my brother-in-law that I will find out next week. He's leaving his job and the workers are pretty scarce. Full benefits, medical, dental, paid really nice compared to what I am used to. It also sounds like I have the deal sealed since I know them well and used to work for them a while ago in a different role. The only question is if they want to rehire somebody. That seems to be what they are deciding.

[EasyCure]

Well good luck to ya, hope you get it since the benefits sound good.

In the mean time I managed to scrape up some hours from Pizza Hut. I got 9 hours tonight (plus tips!) and also I may have about the same tomorrow but they aren't for sure yet. Hopefully.

[EasyCure]

I have such an itch right now that only telling everyone off and walking out on the job can scratch.. but i know i should resist..
