Fired

BarryDoodles

So today i got fired for being twisted after doing promo work for the club i used to work in... (not the full story)

But i got promoted to bar staff in my weekend job.

Feel a bit odd about all this happening... still the email was hilarious.

Any good stories about being made unemployed?

Fired by e-mail?

Classy.

All my fired stories involve me begging, and crying ''won't somebody please think of the children!?!''.

It was hard enough to get the bloody job with the manager being a model... jaw had to be picked up of the ground and all...

EDIT: Can hear people trying to figure out where and what the club is

I assumed Mantra in Maynooth

BarryDoodles

Then you'd be slightly correct

I went into the boss wedneday, said im leaving to go to australia (gave 1 month notice). they said fine but i'd have to give it to them in writing.
Thursday i give it to them in writing that im leaving.
friday, get called into the office and got sacked coz they were trying to cut money in every department. whats the point in paying me for the next month when im leaving anyway. backstards! was relying on that cash for Oz, so had to take out a loan!

I was fired for wearing converse with the slutty uniform I was made wear in a shop years back. Hated the uniform so wore tights with the skirt, converse and wore a shirt over the top. Was called into the office, made stand whilst the boss sat down and told to leave the shop for not listening and to hand the uniform back in.

No I did not work in a porn shop. :rolleyes:

They have to give you notice as well. I'd get myself on the blower to HR pronto.

You can't be fired without just cause, and a paper trail of warning about previous behaviour to back it up.
You can be made redundant/let go, however if that's the case they're required to give you notice, and in some cases you'll get compensation.

yeah, they cant fire someone who has quit. you have to get a month's notice on redundancy - which is moot because you gave them a month - or pay in lieu.

Dave!

I've never been fired

Put that in your pipe and shove it up your bum

i quit when i got poo on my hand.

I got fired twice in my life. I was a teen on both occasions.
Once for giving away free, a box of matches. HONEST.
The other I perhaps deserved. Someone was trying to steal from a shop I was working in by stretching across a glass counter and tried to grab items and cash.
I was at the other end of the shop cutting an old style block of ice-cream for another customer.
I saw the thief trying it on and quickly got the large ice cream knife and chucked it at his head.
Yes - completely stupid. Thankfully I missed. It was enough to scare him and he ran.
I still got fired for it anyway. O' well.

They fired you for that, why?

I'd have given you a raise, once you cleaned up the blood.

To pick up the knife. Now your'e in trouble.

I got fired from a fast-food place when I was teenager for calling the manager a stringy-looking cunt. He was shouting at me because I burned a load of burger buns while chatting about something with another employee. Possibly the World Cup IIRC.

In my defence, he was extremely stringy-looking.

I think this is my post of the day.. lol

matt-dublin

i got fired for my manager calling me a "****1ng little w8nker"

(we're letting you go because you got your manager so irate that he couldn't control himself mentally around you. We believe that your physical safety is our main concern while around him so in this matter we're letting you go")

I wish i was a teenager again

beat that!!!

God loves spar managers!

I got fired from my first ever job, working Saturdays in a cafe.

I was only 16 and the boss was a bully, constantly belittling me just because I was the youngest person working there. I fcuking hated her, and just snapped one day and threw a tray of 50 freshly-buttered scones straight at the bitch's head!!!

Needless to say, I got sacked on the spot

thetonynator

never been fired cos i've never had a job :mad: i'm only a teenager, but it is physically impossible to get a job these days. . . .:mad:

ottostreet

got fired from the garage forecourt i worked in for dancing.

used to work the evening shift from 5:30-10:30.

one lad and one girl. the girl was supposed to close up the deli and mop behind the deli. the lad was supposed to close up the car washes and shut down the machines and put away hoses brushes etc. lads were not allowed behind the deli whatsoever.

so naturally, i used to make myself a sandwich around 8:30 before tackling the car washes. the girl would keep a lookout on the cameras, and wed swap around when i was finished. got called into the office then one day, and the manager stood there, showing me footage of me, behind the deli, making a sandwich for free (also forbidden), while dancing, with two knives both laden down with butter shaking from side to side.

i got caught because some eejit of a customer reported me for dancing.

oh well...i had been about to leave anyway.
