Just Fired!
Ok ... I need to vent ... Today (Mon. May 2nd) I walk into my work 15min early to find the company owner and 2 other joint owners sitting in our shop ... kinda confused I make myself busy by cleaning coffee cups and taking out the garbage. 10 minutes later they come up to me and ask for my gas card, company Visa, Keys to my work truck and cell phone, and present me with a letter and the words "Your Fired!" ... first reaction ... WOW ... second reaction ... YOUR F****** DEAD! ... luckily I got my witts about me and just chucked my clipboard about 50 yards into a empty lot next to our shop ... cleaned out my truck ... cutting myself serveral times unknownly and shaking. then my Mother and Step Dad arrive (manager and office asst.) They walk into the shop and demand to know what is going on ... then they are forcefully removed from the shop and told they are fired ... then the cops arrive ... the owners called them to avoid a confrontation ... while all this is going on my good friend and fellow empolyee, who is a close family friend is being lead around the city so he is unaware of the happenings ... Now our shop is next door to the local T.V news station, shortly after the cops come a cameraman comes and is asking questions and filming us ... Being smart legally and holding my tounge I told him it was a personal matter and to screw off ... so he goes to the public road and says " try and stop me now" ... bastard ... so I gather my stuff and go home ... then find out from my friend that they talked to him and told him that they have been trying to get rid of my stepdad for months. Now I am just a victim of Guilty by Assocition. They go ... I go ... sucks to be me ... Anyone think I have a "wrongful dismissal" case with this ... the job wasn't great by hey ... it was $18/hr. and I have been doing it for 6 years and 2 for this present company. I'm 20 now so a good chunk for my early working career has been this job ...
ah ... I have mixed emotions but I feel better now ...
