Unemployed and Depressed.

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.

Another problem with that termination is that they have to PROVE that your work was unsatisfactuary for the company, ad as far as unpaid overtime... that's agenst the law. They can NOT do that. Its probably why they got upset at you for doing it, and probably another reason you were let go.

*hugs* Keep up on the unemployment office. :)

Unfortunately, they can make it look anyway they want. They've got a few ditzy cows who work there who have taken credit for my work in the past and, if it meant keeping their jobs, they'd tell everyone who'd listen that they'd done everything even if they don't know how to use any of the programs or anything. I can always appeal but as I said in response to your other comment, by the time they actually start paying for the period I was working, I'll already have another job and won't see a dime of unemployment.

So pretty much, you were screwed over like I was. I'm really REALLY sorry about that. I know how that is. Had it done to me twice. I actully got fired from one of my jobs because my manager didn't believe that women should work, and I was the only woman there. I couldn't apply for unemployment at all because I was only there 2 months and 29 days, not the full 3 months that the state required at the time. My other one... that's a screwed up mess, but I know how it is to be screwed over at a job like that.

Congrats on the new job though! You're doing better then me. lol.
