(no subject)
Blah this whole freaking week has sucked. Friday definitely started the worst of it. Well, Thursday night actually.
See, I got this job through Randstad (a temp thing) at Bank of America Merchant services. It was data entry type stuff and paid amazingly well.
Anyways, I started there last Wednesday and had been working there since, training, trying to learn my shit to do this job. Well, I thought things were going perfectly until Thursday night. See, we had got switched to nights permanently finally (there was no one to train us on night shift). Thursday, our trainer lady left us some work to do (us being me, Ashley, and this guy we worked with). We finished it around 10 but we weren't supposed to get off until 1:30. Previous to this, we had been told to go home. Well, being that there was NO ONE THERE except for a trainer who wasn't even training us, we asked her what we should do. She told us to go sit with someone who was doing something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than us. So we were like "well, can we just go? Cause we don't think we're supposed to be doing this..." and she was like yeah whatever, okay. She seemed to get a little attitude though so we planned to go in Friday and talk to the team leader about it.
So I come home, go to sleep at around 6 am having EVERY intention of sleeping until 2:30 at least. 11am, and BOOM the power goes out. I can't sleep without a fan or some sort of consistent noise. So I laid in bed trying to sleep forever, didn't work. I finally got up (SICK by the way, allergies BLOW) and realized had a test that was due by 3. It was 2. And my power was out. AWESOME. So I called my brother to see if I could go use his computer. He was at work and Julie was out. Well, they had some keys accessible so THANKFULLY I went over there, let myself in, and took the test in time. I was really pissy by that time because of having that shit happen right when I wake up from a lack of sleep.
So I come home, get ready, shower in the dark. Get ready in the dark. Then I wait for Ashley. We go to work. We walked in and the first thing our team leader says is "We have no work, you all can go home". She then continued to explain that a "little girl" had only "2 hours" of work for our section. We walked back there to finish our time sheet and saw the GUY we work with and he had a huge stack of work. Fabulous, lied to again. Before that though, we went to talk to the team leader about what had happened the night before. She's all saying she was mad and stuff, that we should put ourselves in her shoes, she doesn't want to babysit, etc. We were just like "uhh we were doing what we were told?" So we left pretty pissed that we were lied to and bitched out for no reason. Everything went okay the rest of the night.
Then today! I wake up and go to John's. We kind of argued a little bit. There was just some underlying issues that we needed to bitch at each other about. So we did. And then things were cool. Well, I leave his house after going to get Ashlee's baby Alice her birthday presents. (Got Dairy Del too! finally) So I come home, start to get ready to go to Ashlee's and Randstad calls. She was like "they don't need you at BA Merchants anymore". I asked if they needed to talk to Ashley too (because I knew she wasn't home) and they said yeah but they would call her and leave a message. So Ashley called and asked why we were "laid off" and they said we were unsupervised and disruptive....
HAHAHAHA. First, how is it our fault we were unsupervised? It's not like we were going crazy wild or something. Second, ANYONEEEEE who knows me, knows that I am a quiet person. I rarely EVER talk around people I know well, let alone people that I don't know. So where do they get off saying we were disruptive? PLUS!!! Ashley was too happy for this job to do something like that, I was with her the whole time and she was NOT disruptive at all.
They fired 9 people in one day, one a couple days before that, and now us. I don't know what the hell they're doing but they're firing everyone for no reason.
It's complete bullshit. I would have been FINE if they said it wasn't us, but they DIDN'T. They made this up. But we can't do shit because we were temps. Pisses me off.
I feel like a failure (even though I know I didn't do anything wrong) and it sucks.
