So, i'm D!sposable ....

The fact of the matter is... if they allowed other people to do it... it kinda sets a precident. And although calling if you can't show is of course the respectful thing to do, I'm sure veggie knows that--- but I'm sure he also apprieciattes the lecture from you.

 

My point.

 

oh man joshy that's like what happened to me...sort of...but i didn't even get fired..i'm just "not on the schedule"
fucking bullshit
josh lets get drunk together!!
and open up our own pet store/bar
and ours will be better than theirs ever was!!
{love you}

 

Yeah, you're probably right. I probably should have said something else.

 

were all disposable. sucks ya got canned

shit, even people who found and build there own company get fired from the board of directors when and if that company gets that big and the board doesn't have the same vision as the founder....

 

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that, and it isn't fair that you are getting punished for something no one else is. Hell, if I had to deal with as many no-calls/no-shows now as I did a year ago at work, I definitely would do the same to them. If it's okay for everyone else to screw you, then why shouldn't you do the same to them once?

 

Fair enough but you'd have also fired the other no-call-no-shows and made it clear from the get-go that it wouldn't have been tolerated. I'd do the exact same thing.

The best way to handle yourself in a work situation is to make sure you're dependable and your presence counts for something. If a job is important enough that you want to keep it... don't break the rules even if you see other people getting away with shit ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE NEW. People are almost always on their best behavior for the first couple months of a job. Most places I've worked had "probationary periods" for 60 or 90 days during which you could basically get shit-canned for almost anything.

Be dependable--- make the personal sacrifices to ensure that there aren't conflicts that keep you away... alot of absences- even if you DO call- will put you at the head of the lay-off line. IF you absolutely can't make it in always call and let your boss know.

I'm sorry that learning this lesson cost you a job you liked so much.

 

most folk get one pass on the no call no show. and thats it. often its an honest mistake, ie not knowing that you got put on the schedule if theres been a change. best bet is for the employer to call and ask if they can get ahold of the person, else, well, everyone makes mistakes, even employees. im a fan of the one free pass on shit like that

 

As a former employer, these are sound words of advice for anybody working in any kind of trade or business.

BE DEPENDABLE.

 

I can print up some t-shirts for ya with your pet bar logo on it.

 

Id have to agree with one previous poster about what happened. no call no shows are grounds for anyone to find a reason to fire you. dont complain about it....

maybe you werent worth their time, and they needed a reason to fire you.

who knows and who cares what other people did......... you didnt show up for a shift, nor give them the proper respect of telling them why you didnt show.

to little green pieces of paper, all organic life forms are disposable.

be that as it may, the usefullness of the unreliable is somewhat questionable, even if it were a totally nonmonetary all volunteer context.

which is why i avoid making commitments i can't reliy on being able to keep up with myself. or at least try to avoid making or getting sucked into.

one of the reasons i haven't volunteered to get involved with being a mod anywhere.
(although an other is the hard time i have judging things that involve individual personas directly)
