FIRED
ok, so.... i got fired yesterday
over the weekend i was pretty damn sick. Saturday was the first day i was schedule to work all week from 10am to 4pm. well i didnt try to call someone to cover me because it was short notice and i figured i'd catch more shit for calling in for 2 days rather than just one so i went in to TRY to work. I quickly realized it wasnt going to work well so i said "look woman, i gotta go home, call someone to cover me" so the best she could come up with was "have Brennan come in two hours early and you can leave at 2". Ok fine, but by 11:45 manager send Ksenia home, then at about 12:15 she said i could go home. "are you sure?" "oh yeah you're fine, go home." So i left.
fast forward a bit, it's sunday, 6:30am and i called to say i wasnt coming to work because i was even sicker. Manager started giving me shit about not calling in on saturday, then calling in today, and I... I am the one that left them short staffed on saturday. I'm sorry, i'm not the one that sent me home 2 hours earlier than when the next employee was coming in to cover me. Then she said she was pissed because i had tried to schedule sundays off from now on. "you cant change your availability for something we hired you for" i told her i wanted to try to find a decent church for the remainder of time that i'm down here because i hadn't yet. Then she maid up some shit about me coming to work and complaining about not feeling good and stuff lately. BULL SHIT. i'm the most easy going bastard in there and i have felt completely fine for months. So i get told we have to have a little chat next time i come in.
Tuesday, 4pm i went in, clocked in, said hi to the new really hot girl. chit chatted with everybody, made my way to the back to put my stuff up and get ready for my shift and the manager says to come sit and talk with her. and this is my fired speech....
"it seems to me that our journey together has ended."
(what the fuck kind of professional sentence is that?)
".... and it's not because you were sick. but for what i need and for what the company needs i have to find someone else"
notice i was given no reason. not even a glimpse of a reason. so i just glared at her, said "i already clocked in so you fix that, i'm gonna get my shit and i'm outta here." i said goodbye to the 2 people there that gave a shit, and everyone that doesnt like me and never has didnt say A WORD to me. i got home and called abe, who left because of discrimination, and in his best gangster/mafia voice said "gimme the number for the store right now." why? "dont even worry about it, i'm jsut gonna clear your name, for MY satisfaction cuz that's bull shit"
that's really about it. casey left because he didnt fit in. abe left because he was the only black guy there and everyone treated him differently because of it, and i would have left if she hadn't beaten me to it lol.
i'm really not upset about this. i could care less. yeah it sucks to not have a job, but that place was crooked as hell. there was only a handful of decent humans in there. 2 of them quit. so life moves on and i get a decent story to make fun of.
and to lighten the spirits of myself and the rest of the world i have this http://www.blizzard.com/press/060509.shtml
