Weapon X Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I got let go yesterday. Manager didn't even give me a reason why, and I got friggin' escorted off the property. I've been getting a bunch of phone calls from my former co-workers, and apparently everyone is very surprised and upset that I got it. What sucks is that I was going to give the two weeks notice soon, anyway. Now, I'm not so sure I'm going to get a reference, which sucks. I wish I had mad connections. And I wish I could get a job where I can use my "people skills". I'm better with people than I am with tools, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 None of your coworkers know why you got canned? That's kinda shady that your boss wouldn't tell you why. You been stealing shit from the office or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some1 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Call the dept of labor asap. If it was infact out of the blue than you may be able to take some action against the company and get $$$. Or get your job back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spectr Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 dam man.. it's cause you Canadian you got fired.. But that sucks man.. you know what, you need to get revenge.. seriously... You know your bosses email? You know any personal information about him? Know enough to scam the company on a couple credit cards? Sneak onto the property in the middle of the night, and fuck shit up...

Weapon X Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I never stole shit. I worked hard. Everyone there liked me. Except the service manager and the shop foreman. The shop foreman's name is Rad. Seriously. He is a freaking pervert and a half, and sucks up to all the 20 year old apprentices, but only if they're white and baby faced. I definitely don't want to be a mechanic anymore. It's killing my body, and I want to work with people instead of working in the shop. A hotel, or anything, would be great, but it's hard to get a foot in the door, usually. I was thinking of becoming a service advisor one day, but not sure how to go about it.

Weapon X Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yeah, and my former co-workers are all in the dark, too. I just can't believe I got escorted. What in the world would they think I'd do? I liked everyone there, and they liked me. I have to stay away from self-destruction, or I'll just embrace it big time.

GucciCondom Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Did you sign a paper when you were hired that stated that your employment could be terminated at any time without notice or reason? Because I had to sign some shit like this before. And I'm guessing if you DIDN'T have to sign this paper it might be illegal. Unless you state is different or some shit.

Weapon, my homie that just got fired last week without explanation was a tech at a dealership too. Just like I was at the same dealership a few years ago. This kind of thing happens all the time in the auto industry. As a matter of fact I quit my last dealership and went to work at a hotel. But it was only as a stepping stone in the job pond. I DONT reccomend working at a hotel, unless it is a REALLY REALLY nice and posh hotel that pays, otherwise don't. Most hotel companies dont pay fucking shit. Its a good thing that you realized that you dont want to be a mechanic anymore now while you are young, instead of 10 years from now when you wont have nearly as many options. Thats what I did and now I have a great job at a plant that makes plastic products. I can tell you though that having been an auto mechanic was great in the way of learning and being able to lay the groundwork to get other mechanically inclined jobs.
