haha i am scared

ive had my job for a month and a half. i loved my job. i dont have it anymore.

i got a call today that my background check came in late and because i have a drug charge and lied about it, im terminated. (um, when i tell the truth i can never GET a job)..... sooooo

dan doesnt know yet. he'll be home soon.

when ever i would work, id work my ass off. all the customers liked me.

im just upset.

 

What kind of job/jobs are you applying for that they are actually running a background check for?

 

haha i worked at a dollar store.

wtf????

 

i just called dan and left him a message about it. he gets off of work in 15 mins.

he's gonna be mad at me.

 

I essentially lost my job yesterday....I'm through caring though.

things will work out...will the crime ever dissappear from your record?

 

i dont know. ive heard rumors that the virtually disapear after seven years. do you know if that's true? like the government would still have it but non gov. employers couldnt find it.

but i dont know if that's just a tale or true. i hope it's true.
dan's lucky enough that he had his job long before we both got arrested.

you lost your job yesterday? what happened?

 

Wow!!! You would think they wouldnt take the time or money to run one.. That sucks!!

 

How ironic...I lost my job too and my asshole boss won't even tell me why I was fired! I'm going to celebrate because this is actually a blessing. I hated my fucking job. Fuck them!!

 

Why do you think he'd be mad? I know you lost your job and that might upset him but you didn't quit you were fired.

That shits that they hired you without that coming in and then after you've proven you've been a good employee they fire you because NOW the check has cleared.

Does that stay on your record forever or does it drop off after a certain amount of years?

Maybe Dan won't be mad. Maybe he'll understand.

 

wow is this losing jobs week or what.

 

dose dan do drugs?

 

I am a consultant...I just got a call 2 weeks ago from a guy I've worked for saying I would be doing a year long, pretty giant project with him starting last week....I did a little work to start off...then he calls yesterday and told me they can't afford to have me on the project and that they are going to probably start laying off employees.....he's truly sorry etc.

I've been working with these people for 3 years, and I know how non-evolvoing they are, how stale they've become, so I'm not that surprised they are hurting so badly now.

I still have one project but that isn't going to last.

I'm kind of through dealing with these corporations anyway...I want to get away from it. Its like a rollercoaster and it makes me frustrated.

 

i have a feeling he wont really be mad at ME but be very upset anyways. i hate being around him when he is upset. he's really depressing when he gets like that.

and even though i wasnt making a lot of money, we really needed this extra income.

 

Congratulations to all those who lost their jobs this week. If I didn't like my boss I would probably do something worthy of being fired for myself.

 

no, he used to but hasnt for three years.

 

Not that youd want to.. but how about fast food places... they usually dont do background checks.. Just till you can get a better jib (thats always my answer to joblessness theyll hire anybody )

 

the really ironic thing is that the jobs report was supposedly positive for last month.....

I'm sick of this fucking country.

 

god... i know. it's just. god, you dont understand how ashamed i would be. i have a fucking college degree, damn it.

 

me too. this is bullshit. im being punished for something i did FIVE years ago.

and yeah, i lied. im telling you... WHEN I TELL THE TRUTH, I NEVER GET HIRED.

 

I have 2 college degrees and I'm ready to start working in a greenhouse or something like that.
