So I lost my job....

[XemaSab]

the word is that my boss put me to work on some stuff last month that I didn't really know how to do, so I kept asking for help and he kept blowing me off.

Friday he called me into his office and told me that he was really angry that I hadn't finished the stuff he assigned to me, and my skills just weren't right for my position and he was going to have to let me go.

fuckin' lame.

I talked to two of my colleagues and they agreed that he should have, like, helped me instead of firing me, and who else is going to do the work? my two remaining colleagues are going to go on vacation in the next month, and they won't have time.

it's his fuckin' funeral.

1. WTF?! Really?

Ineffectual management twits suck.

I hope you find something soon quick. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Xema, I'm sorry.

It sounds as if you had a horrid boss and things would have just gotten crappier with time. You will be in my thoughts. :hug:

[MrScorpio]

3. Fuck em and forget em

You don't need to deal with that shit

[bridgit]

5. a bummer either way but there it is...

[Droopy]

4. Sorry to hear about that.

Look at it as an opportunity to get a better job.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. That sounds like such a corny thing to say but it is true. This may very

well turn out to be one of the best things to have happened to you in a long time.

Keep a positive attitude, get your resume updated, and be prepared for wonderful surprises.

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: REALLY!!!

[Droopy]

7. I got fired one time

And since then things have gotten progressively better for me.

[XemaSab]

19. I really hated Oakhurst

seeing the chick with the nazi tat last week really cemented it.

i'll be glad to see the back of that place.

[WhollyHeretic]

8. I'm sorry to hear that, it was a rotten and idiotic thing for your boss to

do. It's a chance to get away from some shitty working conditions. I wonder how so many idiots like that get into management positions.



:hug:

[Deja Q]

9. I wonder if that butch boss man will force 'em to go back to work

(I hope not)

[madeline_con]

10. What MrScorpio said....

Here's a :hug:

If you need to, go have a good :cry:

Also, here's something to get you started tomorrow. :donut:

This too, will pass.

Peace.

[XemaSab]

[madeline_con]

18. okay. Here....

[XemaSab]

28. Morning update:

I have to say that one of the things my mom excells at is making JET FUEL coffee.

:bounce:

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. I am sorry you lost your income, but boss sounds like a jerk. Hope

something better is right around the corner! *hugs*

[LynzM]

12. Sorry to hear that, Xema

:hug: Given the circumstances, it sounds like you could do better, though. I know, easier said from the outside, for sure. I hope you find a job that appreciates your skills and is willing to work with you to help you develop and train!

[no name no slogan]

13. oh no. sorry to hear that Xema

that totally bites. what a passive-aggressive fucktard. and pardonez mez mi french. :grr:

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Such a drag

but sounds like you are better off without that boss.

[JimmyJazz]

15. I am so sorry. That seems to be happening a lot lately, but that doesn't

make it any easier for you. :(

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

16. well, your boss is an idiot - but you already knew that

sorry to hear about that happening to you. I hope you find something else soon. If not, though - I don't think they can deny your claim if you file for unemployment. You didn't quit & this was no fault of your own, so you should be able to get unemployment if need be.

My condolences... & good luck!

[sundog]

20. sorry xs

:hug:

[gmoney]

21. Sorry to hear it my dear...

:hug: :pals: :beer:

That is never good news, but I'm sure it will work out for the best. This could be your chance to get a job that better utilizes your skills and talents that you'd actually enjoy.

If there's ANYTHING I can do to help, please let me know... :hug:

[XemaSab]

22. putting up the "age of xemasab" banner

has already done a lot....

:pals:

[I Have A Dream]

23. Too bad, XemaSab. You're paying for his inadequacies.

It's part of his job to be there when you need him.

I remember you saying how much you hated where you live, so, as you said, it's an opportunity to make a change. I hope that you find a place that you love and a job that feeds your body and soul.

We'll be here if you need a shoulder to cry on.

:hug:

[NMMNG]

24. What a dick

It almost seems like he set you up--purposely giving you an assignment you didn't understand then refusing to give you assistance on it. Then he fired you for not being able to fix the mess he created.

I hope he gets what he deserves.

[Swamp Rat]

25. abraço

:hug:

[Heidi]

26. Life has moved you forward, XS.

It probably doesn't feel like that as the month's bills start pouring in, but you've been booted up to the next stage of your professional evolution. Go get 'em. :hi:

[Wapsie B]

27. I'm so sorry Xema.

Sounds like you were set up to me. You don't need to deal with a job or a boss like that. It's times like these that helps us find our true direction in life.
