Got fired today. Can’t say I’m surprised.
The store I was managing has been under preforming for a long time. It was a new store for our company and it was a big challenge especially since I was new at the managing gig. I could be mad that I was given to big of a challenge and not enough training, but really I could have tried harder.
I might still be given a part time position in the company at my old store. My boss was very civil and nice about it and I appreciate that. For the next week or so tho, I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands. I’ve got a house to clean and a new character on Oblivion.
Icing on the cake is today is our 7th anniversary . Not a great gift for my wife.

I know those feels.
I was fired about a week ago after someone I applied to called my current boss for a reference. Which is cool, I really needed an excuse out of there.
Hopefully all works out with you.

Sorry to hear that man. Have anything else you can jump right into? When circuit city closed (10 years ago now which is crazy) I worked as a valet which I had already been doing part time. It was a great gig!

I might go work for my father in law a bit. He does flooring installation and I’ve done it before. Not a permanent gig tho because it means my wife is my boss and that’s not gonna work lol

So you got fired for looking for other work ? Ow that’s a dick move

Brutal. At least you're taking it all in stride and sounds like you're equipped to keep a roof over your head.

Yeah, there was some discussion and the manager was basically like “Can’t have you working here if you’re looking for other jobs sorry”
I assumed she has had bad experiences with other employees doing the same and then royally fucking up work.
I get it, but I also was a little angry.

Now you are free to chase them!

Or she had bad experiences with ex employees stealing information and/or customers when they got new jobs. It’s not uncommon to immediately lay someone off when they put in their 2 weeks notice (with pay in lieu of notice obviously).

Ugh. Sorry to hear it.

Ow. That sucks. Hopefully some good experience that will serve you well and help you get a new job quickly.
And Happy Anniversary!

There isn’t much information to steal from who I worked for directly, nothing we did was all that special.
The company we were contracted by however there are things, and stuff, but they are things I wasn’t supposed to know in the first place.

Got fired from my first real job a month on. Best thing that ever happened to me - Another company was in need of some help just then and after about 2 months of helping out they hired me full time and It’s been a really happy place to work for the last 18 years.

But he didn’t put in any notice; he was “caught” applying for other jobs and was punished for it.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Man that sucks. Been fired twice so I know how it feels. Good luck finding something soon.
Now that I think about it my job history has been rather tumultuous. Held 7 jobs in the last 10 years. 2 of those we’re temporary. Been fired from 2 jobs and suddenly quit from 3 of them. I’m doing a lot better these days though.

I dont know how employment laws work in your state/county/US in general, but, that can’t be legal, can it? Getting fired for looking for other jobs.....

Well, I started my business while on unemployment, and here I am 13 years later. Closed door, another opens, etc

Lol. You haven’t learned yet . Your wife is your boss, you signed the contract on your wedding day. ;)

It’s legal.
At will employment means they can let you go for no reason, or any reason within federal law.
And as long as whatever information they use was gotten legally, I can’t do anything, nor would I care enough to.

Sorry to hear. You sound like you’re taking it in stride. Good luck searching and applying.

In had 8 jobs and this is the third time I’ve been fired. And I’m not even theory yet!

Yeah we’ll be alright. Just not as alright as we thought. I’m 100% sure that this point that I still have a part time job at the minimum, and I’ll have to use all that free time to find different full time gig. What ever that my be. Biggest problem I have is a lack of direction. I know now that I can’t hack a deck job, but I have know idea what I want to do.

I didn’t see this until now. I’m sorry to hear. Great that you’re being honest with yourself. That means a better chance of taking advantage of future opportunities.
