Well actually its on Friday, but today after putting 11 hours, I get back to tha shop and find out....I GOT LAID OFF! can we say WTF!!!! Next month was my 6 year ann with them..Ive gotten my numbers up,new sales,made top 10% of the company tha last FOUR YEARS in a ROW and going for FIVE! Oh...and his reason..."You dont seem as if you have been happy lately" Are you SERIOUS?!?!?! Anyway...I dont feel much like ranting on and on, but I had to put it out there other than FB or MS...Cause my so called friend/supervisor is on there as well...
Toodles....

 

Damn Chris, that sucks to hear. I say you blow the f**kers up!

 

that is no reason to lay a person off. Are they thinking "he must be happier being lay off then at work?"

are they paying you too much? Company usually fire the top guys first.
I hope you find another job soon.

 

Me too...If it were just me, I would still be depressed...But Im worried how Im gonna afford a 2 bedroom...Daycare...AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

how many people got laid off or was it just you?
that sucks bro. if you NEED a job (as in have to have one) then there is always ACS (they suck hard, but money is money). i hope that this turns out to be a good thing and you get a better job. if you ever want to just kick it, i dont start my crap job until the 13th. so give me a call.

 

Oh....it was just me..The crappy thing is, I really liked my job..Loved my customers..

 

Are you in a "right to hire right to fire" state? Cause if not they don't have an adequate reason to fire you. All you would have to do is tell them they can't fire you because they THINK you're unhappy. Then let them know you will be talking to an attorney.

 

Hey man sorry bout the job thing.. Thrs sux bro.. Apply at costco!!! Tey will take care of u man.. Good starting pay too.. Idk where u live but here in LA they start u out with $11 and time & 1/2 pay on Sundays!!! But good luck with everything tho.. Advance happy bday!! LOL..

 

that really sucks. you did always seem to like your job. more so then anyone else that i know.

 

that sucks donkey ***** - i can't believe they did that to you & that is the worst excuse ever to let someone go..

i agree w/ robinsondb22 - i don't think they can legally fire/let you go for that kind of excuse so i would contact an attourney or L&I

 

Is it legal to be fired from a job for no good reason?
Yes. Washington is what's called an "at will" state. Businesses may fire "at will." There are no laws regarding dismissal, so businesses are not required to give warnings or follow any particular steps.
(From the L&I website)

 

washington is an at will employment state so unfortunately they can do what they want. just gotta pay your unemployment.

 

haha we both where thinking the same thing.

 

Well if they laid you off you can get unemployment for like 6 months!

 

Already applied...

 

Hang in there Chris. I think the register closed today, but if not, they may be looking for people in the Seattle area, working for the Dept of Agriculture, Grain Inspection. I know that they are hiring a few in our office to get trained because of a new elevator in the area next summer. Just a thought.

 

happy early bday buddy...i will see u friday

 

those stupid _____es - hopefully you can find something else. you're a good dude so i know you can

 

I think you get 2 extensions too, like another 6 months, then like a 2 month'er. At least it's in the summer, so you can have a little vacation on unemployment....

 

sorry to hear that bud. welcome to my world....we can go cruise around now because i haven't been working in a month or so either! infeliciter knows how it is as well...we can start an unemployed meet....
