I just got Fired. LOL

if this is serious, my condolences and best of luck. PM me if there is anything I could perhaps reasonably do.

if this is a joke, may you fall on a cell phone tower from a blimp.

So my company fired me today. Mainly because I don't want to go do field work anymore. Oh well I was going to quit anyway at least now I can get unemployment.

Not sure when I'll be back on here since I don't have net access at home, but I'll check in when I can.

Cheers,
Scotsman

No joke at all Matt, and I thank you for your condolences and the offer.

but you had a promising career making stones into cubes ...what happened
 
sorry to hear bud
but i am sure you'll find something soon
if you have a notebook with wifi technology you could just walk around your neighborhood to see if anyone has a connection
i know that is what they used to do at my old job

oh by the way i was laid off two weeks ago so i know the feeling

Very sorry to hear that Scots!! You'll bounce back quickly I'm sure.....
 
didn't they just offer you a new job so you wouldn't leave?

Better days are ahead of you my friend.

thats it, iam not coming...you'll have to go it alone. Scots you'll be fine big bro...do something you want to now.
 
WTF? Didn’t they beg you to stay when you gave you notice? Anyway like you said now you can collect unemployment well you look for something better. From our talk in Ohio that company remind me way to much of the one I was at a few years ago and trust me you are way better off out of there.
 
Sucks to hear (and go thru) but change does have its positives. Now you do not have an excuse to find a new job, pursue a different calling. Take some time - crash out for a few weeks and relax. If you have a friend that can offer you a place to stay, take a vacation to sit and clear your head. Do not rush back to work just to be busy.
 
It's a blow when it first happens, but after awhile you realize it was the best thing.

I found out yesterday that my old boss (the WORST boss I'd ever had - the prick that fired me in Dec) is no longer at my old gym and they asked if I wanted to see the new PT manager about getting my old job back. Every single trainer that worked under the old asshole either quit or somehow got themselves fired as he made it impossible to stay by "inventing" policy. So the dude got demoted to PT in another club.

Anyways they wanted to know if I wanted to go back to work there. I entertained the thought for a split second.... NNNnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Good luck to you - wish you all the best!! :)

Everything happens for a reason mon ami.
 
if you're not sweating it much and feel good about your next move, cool.

if not, i'll raise my glass to you. i wonder if they'd fire me here for not doing work and stuff. btw, i also refuse to go out into the oil fields. i'm a programmer and we're not in the oil services sector, but still.

i refuse.

damn scotts.. I guess in a way it sucks but ... its good beings you wanted out anyway. You are a very intelligent man that knows his shit. You'll find something in no time!

:rose:

call me sometimes dammit! ;)
 
You're a good soul, scotts. A big fuckin soul, if I might add.... Good Karma is reserved for fellas like you, so you got nothing to worry about. Change gon' come.
 
wouldn't it be funny if this marked the start of a sharp downward-spiral in scot's life, fraught with alcohol and heroin abuse, finally ending with his contracting an STD from some tranny in a toronto rest-stop and an ill-fated game of russian roulette using a pissant .22?

lol.
 
Thanks everyone I am touched by the support I have recieved. I am checking in from my parents place I am up here doing some yardwork for them. Chainsaws are very theraputic if you haven't ever used one.LOL

I am doing great I have been sleeping a bunch and hitting the gym and catching up on some lost time. I am not sad at all to be away from that company. As some of you mentioned it is a bit strange that I resigned, they begged me to stay, created a new department for me, and then the owner fires me.

I am looking forward to the future so far I have been lucky enough in life that each fall has ended up in a big step forward after I picked myself up. I am going to take some time and relax and do some serious prep for my upcoming contest. My new log arrived the same day I got fired so it's like it was meant to be for training.LOL

I hope all of you are great and I will check in as I can. To those of you in similar situations I hope your job search goes smashingly well.

hi Scotsman, i think Stickfigure made a post saying he was awaiting your phone call to catch up with you...
did you guys meet in the end?
 
Sounds like time for a vacation to a remote island somewhere...
 
I got fired once, and it was a blessing! I was doing shitty work because I hated my job. They just put me out of my misery because I would have never quit on my own...lol.

Sometimes employers know this when they lay people off :) and the job loss is the best posible outcome for ALL parties.

Hey Scots! Let's go visit PBR and get drunk on his income! He's got one!
 
Well if it means getting a better job later, then rock 'n roll! lol...... :rolleyes:

No I never saw that post, after getting fired I didn't have access and missed it I guess. So nope didn't get to meet him this time, hopefully there will be another time in the near future.

Like Cyprus?

If I had a bit more in the bank right now I would for sure. Until I figure some things out I am on a no spending agenda. Someday I will be there though.

They FIRED you, not Lay OFF? Many places if you get fired, will NOT pay unemployment. Our bosses work on trying to have you leave on your own achord or FIRE your ass so they don't have to pay severance or unemployment. Of course, once you are over 50 and have 20 + years in they become very careful of FIRING people so they make you misserable so you leave on your own.

Well, hope you get the unemployment checks and find a good job afterward. I'm in the field and don't think I could handle a day to day office or factory job. Good luck !

The reason they gave was that due to the corporate restructure I don't fit in anymore and they eliminated my job. So more of a lay off then firing, though that's just semantics.LOL
