    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 209 ✭✭BarryDoodles


    Then you'd be slightly correct

    Something about sandwiches


    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!

    Em.... Just quit like you said you needed to.....?? ......and.... work in the new job.........????????

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    I've never been fired

    Put that in your pipe and shove it up your bum
