How do you Handle Being Fired?

just guessing

 

If you're getting fired just look the person who is firing you right in the eye, smile and say, "I was looking for a job when I found this one"! Or, if you're thinking you might be fired, put the 1977, Johnny Parycheck, song 'Take This Job And Shove It' on your cellphone and play it as the person is telling you that you're fired.

 

Another time I was fired, everything had to be written down during the exchange between me and the manager. So it took about three times as long as what it would've otherwise. As you can imagine this made it very difficult defend myself. You're also going to be a lot more careful of what you put in writing. I didn't bother trying to put up a fight as I figured that's the whole point in doing it that way. But once everything was taken down (as I expected), we had a quick chat and I got to say what I wanted to off the record.

 

it seems like you could have all kinds of fun with that one. was it the manager that was firing you who was writing it down? you should have talked super fast, and said a bunch of crazy gibberish.

 

The assistant manager was doing the writing for myself and the manager, and his hand was sore at the end!

 

What a weird way of getting fired.

Serves them right i guess.

Just a tip here that you don't have to take on board if you don't want to.
Find an industry that you are interested in working for.
Do some research on the company.
Think about the way you acted towards your bosses.
Then look at getting some support maybe through a psychologist on why you seem to lose your job so easily.
Then apply for more jobs.

 

no problem'o..

 

Oh fuck off

 

No. How about take it on board and be positive instead of a negative, stubborn loser.

 

Once I lost a job by having the rug pulled out from underneath me without warning in advance. That’s the worst. Especially if you’ve been productive and hard working.

The worst way to handle job loss is to get self destructive, and develop a victim hood mentality.

 

What did they gave as a reason?

 

When I was younger, I didn't take firing so well. I took revenge, and just about ended up in jail as a result. A close call I didn't want to repeat.

What was worse though was being laid off. It had the same effect as being fired, but it was a guaranteed unemployment check (for about 20% of what I had been making. With layoffs, oddly popular in Florida, the company can claim no fault. They usually try to bore you with talk of the economy or anything else that steers away from their own lack of foresight and utter incompetence. For the record, nearly all the companies that laid me off went out of business some time later. Even Circuit City!

One thing you learn after enough layoffs is how to ace an interview. I became better and better at landing jobs. But I was still getting laid off after 6 months, 9 months, a year. It sucked and I had a student loan to deal with. So one day I got a call for a contract job in Atlanta. Since it was paying $20 more per hour than I could make in Florida, I packed up the family and split. For 20 years I went from contract to contract, always aware of exactly when I'd be out the door. It made planning for the future much easier.

But a few years ago I landed my first "real" job. And now they're starting to cut odd corners and do other weird shit (like installing a "healthy" vending machine that's horribly overpriced) and being their only writer and document controller I can only wonder how far I am from the door. There have been 6 people shed (no details why) in the last year. None of them were replaced. In my 20s I would never have noticed that sort of thing.

 

Well the first time it happened, I was a newer employee and they told me that I wasn’t meeting the productivity level and I needed to step it up. So I took the criticism and promised to work harder. The very next day they said they called me into the office and let me go. So I didn’t give me a chance to improve which was awful.

All other employers have given me a chance to improve as a new hire, and told me what I needed to do to get better.

 

Here it's often with the newest employee 'last in, first out' if a company needs to cut employees.. Doesn't always seem fair, but on the other hand its not a secret policy either.

 

In America it is best to avoid Tribunals.

 

In America that is called a Hostile Work Environment. A subsection is Constructive Discharge, where they create conditions to fire you. After you file a complaint against the employer, they could be charged if the Retaliate against the worker. But, in America, worker protection is not the best.

 

the bosses are out for the afternoon and instead working the whole staff met in the lounge to chit chat and say bullshit about the bosses and this whole quitting and being fired thing. guess why people get fired now lol

 

I just bet the rug was pulled by a Muslim!
