Title: Got Fired Today.
Post by: stroh on July 20, 2009, 10:54:33 AM
Basically a long standing dispute between myself and my manager in how the day to day operations should go, ended today in the termination my employment.

Not really surprising, in fact I really could have seen it happening well before now.  I really wasn't that happy the last few years.  The tough part is trying to wrap my head around the fact that "Damn, this is for real.  I have no job."

Oh well.  *fudge* 'em.

Thanks Bud.  (Thanks everyone)

LOL, no  I wasn't "Laid off"  I was escorted off the premises "Get the *fiddlesticks* off the property and don't come back fired!"  Baby!

Sorry to hear that, Mike.  That really blows, but if you were unhappy, maybe it is a blessing.

Minnesota, right?  You may (probably) are still eligible for unemployment.  Check it out and stick it to the bastards!

Good luck.  This truly sucks.

I always thought that termination based on anything short of:
-stealing Post-Its
-embezzlement
-malicious destruction of company-owned property
-****ual harrassment
-punching out the boss
-boning the cleaning lady in the copy room

was eligible for unemployment insurance.

Stroh's fine. Unless he quit or as gleek noted, discharged due to misconduct.

And the misconduct had better be well documented*. The onus is on the employer and even if misconduct is the case most employers will not fight it. Just not worth the effort.



*Minnesota.

So what are the job prospects like for an out of work MRI operator?

Do you have similar skills that can be transferred across to say, being the xray guy at the airport?

Maybe you should just write your memoirs??

He's over-qualified to be the GOP VP candidate, so that leaves out that possibility.

Meh.  Hard to say.  I may just go in a completely differnt direction.  Although I have no idea what that may be.

I was thinking of you today when I bought two pints of Angry Bastard Ale, you know I'll drop a taste for my homies brother.

Ps. You'll be aiiiight, trust me, you'll be aiiiight, I ain't gonna make with no negative waves so take a few days, drown a few beers like Dunk said and get back on the horse.

I know how you feel I was a bit scared when I left my job, which I was beginning to hate.
I hope you get that "when one door closes, another one opens" opportunity like I did. ;D
