As the title says, tomorrow is the day of all days ... I'm getting fired from a job for the very first time in my life!
I'm excited. Are you excited? You better be

So, currently I'm still working as an assistant of management in a hotel. I was getting along with my boss pretty well but a few weeks back we had a fight. Basically, she was just having one of her retard moments and I was unlucky enough to be the only one around at that time. Sucks for her I don't take it easily when someone tries to fuck me over by trying to force work on me I don't know anything about or that isn't even supposed to be part of my work (Jek, do the taxes for 2012, you have time until tonight 10pm).

Since then she's just searching for reasons to get me fired, even got the IT guy, which I'm luckily really good friends with, to spy after me, because according to her I was sleeping and watching movies at work (Lol no).

Anyways, thanks to my buddy I know about all this stuff and also know she wants to fire me tomorrow. Which is good, considering this work was my only source of income and I still have to pay rent and for uni. I found a new job pretty quickly, way better pay and working conditions.

So now, celebrate with me! Feel free to bash you bosses here too


So today I went to work all happy and stuff, doing my work and waiting till she arrives. First thing I did in the morning was filling out how many hours I worked and put it on her desk. She arrives just like nothing happened, tries joking with me and stuff, I don't react. Don't talk to her, only when it's necessary.

The end of my work day: I go to her, tell her I'm gonna go drink a coffee and that she should look at my paycheck while I get my things. I come back take it, look at her and just flat out ask how she thinks this should continue. She gets all defensive, trying to tell me some bullshit story about how things were rough for her and she is sorry. Well guess what, things are rough for everyone, still i'm not going into work all mad and try to fuck up someone's day. Especially considering I got paid not nearly enough. I wouldn't even be able to pay my rent for next month if it wasn't for a great friend of mine.

She still tries finding some bullshit excuses, I just cut her off and tell her that I do not take it kindly when people treat me like that. Funny thing is: Some employees are leaving and this means I would be one of the very last people who are fit for the job. Who know the system and can actually solve problems.

She literally begged me to stay.

Sucks for her I don't intend to :)

Way to go, Jek! Whenever one door closes, another opens, and I'm thinking that this new opportunity wouldn't have presented itself had it not been for your boss's drama. :)

Boss battles are meant to be hard to handle, even in real life. But fortunately, all of my bosses/employers are nice people.

Just went on a 60 days business trip to Congo with my boss and an engineer, we rented a villa so were pretty much 24/7 together. He cooked for us sometimes, brought us to fancy restaurants, bought presents for our families, gave us extra cash but the only downside was at home he was only wearing a top and his undies except when he was cooking.... Next trip by the end of October for 6 months, i still have nightmares of these red underwear :'(

Good luck on your new job.

I once got fired because I dared defend this really shy girl who was pregnant and arrived late for work cause she felt sick in the morning (like, 15min). Of course our boss couldn't care less and wouldn't stop shouting at her; I shouted back at him for being a dick and eventually got fired later that very same day.
Congrats on the new job and thank you so much for the chance at The Walking Dead :)

Female bosses are cruel and fucked up. End of topic. Well not all of them but mostly.
They try to be TOO STRONG and end up being tyrannical.

I've only been fired once that I can remember, but it was necessary. I had been bumped up to assistant manager without receiving any training for the job and therefore wasn't able to fulfill my duties. I didn't have any hard feelings, but it did make my boss cry when she fired me. I went on to bigger and better things. )

So, it's good that you found a new job. You don't need'em! Think like this: You can find a dozen of them, they will never find another one like you! :D

Congrats with a new job. And according to your words it is better pay and working conditions so you won and she lost a good employee.
Wish you to have fair boss on your new job.

Never been fired, I can manipulate my superiors pretty easily so usually if there's a fight they come to me to apologize in the end.

Do you get severance pay? If not, then why not make a huge dramatic scene and send everybody to dine in hell haha. (my dream is to do that one day)

Why don't you just decapitate your boss or whatever queens do these days?

Congrats for the new and better job!

I got the boot solely because a family member did. Sound reasoning right? To make it better, said family member was practically running the entire business for the boss, being paid less than anyone else there, and was fired because it "wasn't working out" when she needed to take a second job to make ends meet (and still spent the same number of hours at the first job, I should add). Basically, the boss used the second job as the reason why things were going wrong, despite nothing having changed at her company because of it. Boss was just taking off, ignoring/yelling at customers, not ordering supplies to get jobs done, not filing things that needed her name specifically to be on them, etc. But my family member (and by extension, me) got the blame and the boot instead. Hooray?
