I get fired from every job I have ever had except like two of them,Something always happens that messes things up. I move on and it happens all over again, I get real sick of it, anbody else dealt with this?

no

only once, and thank god i did. i worked for a trainwreck alcoholic freakshow who ran a lighting fixture company out of his home. i felt like i was living in a dickens novel for eight hours a day, but i needed the money. fortunately he fired me in one of his crack hazes and it forced me to find a better job situation ASAP...sometimes that's the kind of kick in the ass you need fate to give you in order to force you out of a bad situation.

Is Prince.org Hiring?

No, but I've fired my fair share of nincompoops...

maybe those Nincom poops were going thru a ruff spell,

No, I try to be one of those "good" employers... these folks got what was coming to'em for being flat out deadbeats...

I do my best to listen...

a hundred times at least Is layoff part of the definition of firing? If so, 2 million been at my current job for 8 years though!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't think so... layoffs are usually economy driven, firings are often performance based...

Congrats on the 8 years though!

You know;
I have given my all and then some for jobs and not been appreciated,
so then I stopped and only give the minimum, well this of course does not work either, I want to be my own boss

RenHoek said:

like Anx, I have worked for some really crazy people and I am opinionated

Close2u said:

Go for it!!

There is NOTHING better than self-employment...

don't get me wrong, it's hard as hell (especially in this economy!) but the rewards are above and beyond...

plus, if need be, you get to fire nincompoops!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

As a werker yoo haff NO RRRIGHT to an opinion!!!

It just gets me that often times my boss will pass me up for a promotion, or hire a friend of theirs over someone more skilled and presently already with the company, Politics, and I can't hide the fact that is really pisses me off I then have zero respect for the person who they chose, maybe I take things too seriously

RenHoek said:

Ok, maybe that's the wrong way to put it. I wasn't saying anything that wasn't right! I've been fired for being gay 2 times though

Close2u said:

Well you should study up a little on employment law and HR practices, in some states there may be rules that work in your favor regarding those issues... The things I have learned about being an Employer/ Employee are astounding...

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

That is so wrong

I don't want to stomp around and make a fuss, truth is if they don't want me there I don't want to work there....

One time I was fired just a half hour after a salesman called in. I was the new sales assistant/receptionist and when I told him the salesrep was not available and to hold on, before I could get back to the switchboard to put him on hold I heard him say

"I hate when they hire faggots to do a girls job". I didn't comment on what he said but told him to hold on and he just said OK. He complained to the owner of the company and I was let go a half hour later. This was after the other receptionist telling me that I knew the job better in three weeks than the last girl did in a year.

the other time I worked for this seriously mentally ill Annie Wilkes type and she was personal friends with the lady who ran the temp agency I went to. She fired me one day saying I was no longer needed and that she could do it alone and the next day I called in and some girl was answering my phone. I went to the temp agency to get another position and we got to talking and she said that she had a problem with my being gay and that is why she let me go. This was before California had anti discrimination laws on the books regarding employment. Fucking whore.

I was fired once for drycleaning my nylons, lol

Close2u said:

even if they're infringing on your rights??? I mean, it's up to you but I wouldn't let anyone get away with that kind of crap...

Nope. I have been with my same employer for 23 years and counting....

RenHoek said:

I am way too cool to beg for my job back, even if it is a bunch of shit, dealing with the Union, they are not really helpful

I can find a better gig I always do, that is the one good part, I always find a job better than my previous one

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

that makes me mad! i can't believe some people are so stupid!

p.s. glad you have a job now.

horrible... But is it ok now? You're not being discriminated at work anymore?

kimrachell said:

Turnabout is fair play and it's a small world. That crazy bitch (and I never discussed anything personal with her because she truly was crazy) ended up leaving that place and worked for another place I worked for after that job. She assisted a director I assisted who was also gay and when I told him what she did to me, he fired her stupid ass!

Aelis said:

The company I work for now is like 80% gay

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Really? How come? It would be quite unusual here where I come from

Yeah, three months short of twelve years, and another job after two years.

Do you have trouble dealing with authority figures. Some people do.
