So as always
So they fired my boss at work today. Basically for flirting BACK to a girl once she started the behavior. The other thing is, its not even the chick he was flirting with that wanted him fired, its a 3rd party that heard about it.
That is why I never feel comfortable moving out, or buying a new car with this job. I live in the constant fear of being fired for no particular reason. Last week they fired a 18 year employee. Next week I can almost gurantee they'll fire another. You see, the owner has this list of people he'd like to fire that only a few people know about. Just so happens its the people making the most money. Since I've heard of this top 5 list, we've lost 1 person a week that is on that list for 2 weeks.
In a year I have seen 30ish people come and go, all but 3 fired. Not all of them for not doing their job. We have "black fridays" where the owner just seems to start clearing weeds. Alot of time killing the flowers too. Also, he does this seasonally. Hires alot for the summer, fires them all for the fall. Starts over next season.
Our jobs are a specialized kind. If you lose your job there, no matter high up you've worked yourself, you'll be starting over in a whole new industry. A manager that has bought a new house and a new car, tomarrow could be a box packer. You just can't transfer to another place that does similar stuff as we do.
I don't know what it is with the guy, he seems like he's a nice enough employer; but you dig a little deeper and he really cares nothing for his employees. Closest I can come to is that its "born rich" mentality. I guess he just thinks people can get right back to where they worked theirselves up from pretty easy. After all, he was handed a business, isn't everyone else?
I really don't understand the guy. I mean, many positions take 3 months to even start becoming productive. Yet, he'll fire tons of them and then bitch because that department isn't putting out numbers.
I really need to find another job soon, I'm tired of making money and being too afraid to spend it on stuff I really need.
