Unemployed and Depressed.

[fenderlove]

Guess who no longer has a job? That's right! Me! Got fired this afternoon, but do you want to know what really grates me? They waited until 5PM today to do it just as I was walking out the door. Just had to put my soul through one last full day of torment, didn't they? It was so nonchalant that it really pissed me off. Apparently, I wasn't a good "fit" with the company. And to top it off, due to the way in which they have classified my termination, I will not be able to collect unemployment. Way to be true winners at life right there. They have the audacity to say that my performance was "unsatisfactory" when I worked my ass off for them, changed things over and over again on every little fucking whim they had. I worked over 200 bloody hours of unpaid overtime in six months! WTF?! I'm totally going to bundle up the ugly company shirts in a bag and stuff them in the mailbox outside the office. Screw them to the rafters, I say. I'm less angry now and more disappointed than I was earlier. At least I'll get to sleep in later tomorrow, but somehow I doubt I'll be sleeping at all tonight.

On the good side you don't have to put up with their shit.

Btw, if you've got dirt on them, send it to their competitors, you have nothing to lose.

You could sue them for the overtime.

Also, report them to your better business bureau and red flag them on every malpractice they do.

Oh that's awful! I'm so sorry

You know, they way they handled that suggests to me that that is their normal way of handling employees. They get all that work done cheaply (for them) and then they dump you.

Screw 'em, you're better than that.

Speaking from experience, being unemployed blows chunks! On the good side, you no longer have to deal with their bullshit!

Oh sweetie....that's terrible! Well, you are most likely better off and I'm sure something better will come your way. I don't get how that termination doesn't allow for unemployment, adn is there some way of tracking your overtime hours. . If you have records of that, the very least you can do is complain to the BBB. Let other out there know how they work and what they do to their employees. If you have those OT records and non payment, surely you can do something about that?
I have a friend in Germany going through much the same thing. things will look up for you I know it. In the meantime, have a good sleep in today, and terrific cup of coffee and gain a new perspective.

SUE!!

Sue their evil fucking asses off. That's wrongful dismissal babes and you should be recompensed for your time and the overtime... There is that little matter of the illegal activities they wanted you to engage in. Sick the Copyright police on them.

Grrrrr

Fuckers

OTOH, maybe you should have a warm cup of tea, a nice hot bath, and read some porn...

FUCK that just makes me angry >:I

WHAT THE FUCK!? I'm soooo sorry! I'm happy you're free though. They were killing your soul! HUGS FOREVER!!! You were too good for that shit. They dont deserve you. Seriously. I'm not just saying that. I've believed that since you started working for those low budget bitches!

Also, this firing seems shady. They cant just get rid of you without good, documented reason. You should look into it. I'm gonna ask my mom what you should do!

ALSO, report them to the FCC for lying about their leed certification! Kick them in the nuts!

I'm so sorry to hear that. *hugs*

I am so sorry!! *hugs*
You know, they can classify your termination any way they want, you should still apply for unemployment and tell them everything that happened with the unpaid over time and how you worked really hard and that they now claim that you don't. That's what I did, and I kept calling the unemployment office and talking to them and at first they were not going to give me unemployment and I called them and explained what happened and then they gave me my unemployment. You should ALWAYS apply and at least try, you know.
Good luck on it. And I am very sorry you lost your job.
