My mood while writing this blog: Raging Mad!! |
So today I am 10 weeks 1 day.
I got fired today from my job!! I asked my boss what the reason was, as I don't recall doing anything wrong....he said"oh there's nothing wrong with your work, you and me just don't see eye to eye". Now there is more to this story...if you have read my other blogs you would already know the stress I go through at work....my boss will call people names, swear at them, he drinks at work, and treats people like pieces of CRAP!!! I'm not the only one who sees this, everyone I work with is scared of him. Well...I'm not one to "bend over and take it" if you know what I mean... so yesterday I asked him a simple question I wasn't too sure on....as he always says "there are no dumb questions"....this one had to do with the area code on a phone number of all things, I just wanted to be sure I was faxing a document to the right number....and he lost it on me, yelling and the whole bit....all I said back was" oh, ok, well how was I supposed to know unless I asked"..... And now apparently he thinks I'm too defensive and "we don't see eye to eye".....I bit my tounge because I had an ear full for him on his mistreatment of employees....but I just shut up and left.
I'm really worried that now I won't qualify for government maternity leave....I'll have to crunch some numbers...but also, my bf and I are in the middle of trying to buy a new house....and now my income is NOTHING! I'm so screwed!!! I need an at home job REALLY bad!

Sunday, 29 Mar are you able to get unemployment benefits? i would definitely file a complaint against his company for firing you for unjust reasons. i also got fired from my job because i had an accident and i didn't call when it happened.. that was a stupid reason to fire me for, i mean who calls their work first right after you had an accident? anyways.. i know exactly how you feel and my manager didn't like me either because i wouldn't give in to her rude behavior i would just smile and not stoop down to her level. oh well though in the end people like us shouldn't be working with asses anyways.

Wednesday, 11 Mar Guess I didn't really mention....it's HIS company...he owns the business....lol...so I think he has this "god" complex...lol orone -
Tuesday, 10 Mar Wow, that's awful...I'd sue him! It does sound like you have some good ammo on him and the company. Unfortunately despite how much you may or may not like the company, if they are supporting such a jerk working there, than they too deserve to be sued! 402nikkib -

I am going through the same thing myself...I got fired Janurary 16...thats when my insurance was cancelled anyways...they didnt tell me I was fired until Jan 19th...filing for assistance really sux...its like being onprobation...grrr!!

So I know how you fell lady...just stay strong and keep moving forward...and stick it to your boss in whatever way you can he sounds like he was a total ASS! supaflychick1982 -
Tuesday, 10 Mar Man that is so f---ed up and I'm sorry to hear that. You got so much going on and that happens. I'm not sure exactly what to do but I would definitely research and fight back. Keep me updated. ParkerNHarpersMom -
Tuesday, 10 Mar yeah I did call employment standards...and they said there is nothing they can do if an employer treats his employees like crap...as long as he gives you severance pay if he fires you for no reason....I might look into harrassment charges....also, i know there are somethings that company does that aren't exactly legal...like drinking at work...and letting the employees smoke indoors...(We are a wholesale food company and it breeches some food safe issues)
