    Default I think i just got fired?

    I went home yesterday sick from my vanilla job and I believe there was a miscommunication (aka someone lied) that I just walked out. Which isn't possible because I cashed in my money and even recorded my tips. Well one of the new employees texted me about how she heard the managers talking. I called and was told by the main manager I needed to call back tomorrow to see if he decided to put me back on the schedule.

    you 'think' you just got fired? You don't happen to love in Washington do you? haha nah similar thing happen to me. But I picked up the phone and talked to the manager myself and asked wtf?

    You know what. Fuck them, you went home sick. How dare they make you call back the next day! Why can't they let you know now assholes. It's unnecessary stress.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring

    Yeah I was pretty much floored by the fact I heard from a brand new employee not the main manager. Im not even calling back in the morning, because apparently they decided to tell her Im permanently fired. Besides I came to the conclusion any place that is going to lie on an employee is not a good place to be working.

    I don't think you should trust anything another employee says unless it's the manager. It's not her duty to tell you this stuff. Hear it straight from the source.

    I totally forgot I posted this but, she's my bestfriend and I heard they were saying I walked out from her and called and confirmed that's what they said. Plus she has nothing to gain from lying to me. I personally think it is her duty as my friend to let me know or I would have wasted the gas to come in and get fired. Besides as my friend I would be pissed if she didn't tell me.

    Indeed. This type of behavior isn't rare though. I remember my first job ever working for a temp agency, I got dnr'd (do not return) and EVERYONE else knew before I did. I never even talked to the manager about it. Just heard it second-hand. I was floored. Even as a naive 16 year old I knew that was wrong so I decided to quit in general. Company was full of people 3 times my age trying to fund their crack habits anyway.

    Then, my second to last vanilla job I had, the GM actually made it a habit to chastise people in the electronic notes that went out to everyone's computers. Like the way the system was set up, he would have different tasks designated to different teams, but he would call people out and "scold them" on certain things instead of addressing them privately. There is no reason people in ads needs to know what's going on with someone in phones and vice versa. Office was only run by 10-15 people max anyway. There were days where people would come up to me and tell me "hey, check out this note. I think it's addressing you" and it's like wtf? The hell is wrong with people in management positions nowadays? Just because the economy is bad doesn't mean you get to be an asshole.

    I hate poor management more than anything. In just the past couple weeks, I've had a manager forget to call to tell me I wasn't supposed to come in for my shift because we were closing early (right at the time I was supposed to start... so I drove half an hour to turn around and go home). Then, on a day when I was on the schedule as a phaser (I got to go home early once it got slow) and another girl was on there for a double shift, she texted a manager who wasn't even there, and therefore couldn't look at the schedule, and said "It's dead, can I leave early?" And the manager who wasn't even the one working and making those decisions that day told her it was fine. So she got to go home early while I ended up having to stay over the first shift... I was so shitty. I hate that job more and more every time I go in. I can't stand shitty managers and especially lazy-ass coworkers. Even if they told you you could come back, I wouldn't. Fuck that nonsense.

    Temp jobs are the worst with this. Years ago I took a temp job and after a week I hated it. They didn't train me, just threw me in the mail room and told me to sort mail and record it. I was also supposed to file paid bills and I did all of this like I was supposed to. After all of this one day I went in and decided I wasn't coming back after that week. This was a Thursday. While sorting the mail I heard the jackass manager on the phone calling a temp agency asking for a replacement for me. I then hear him talking to other people working on how I was such a terrible worker because I didn't pick up right away what I was supposed to be doing, forget that I've never done that type of job. He then went off on me later on telling me they don't want me to return. I planned to quit anyway but his attitude was aeful and I told the temp agency how rude he was (the temp agency owner was very nice). This company had gone through 4 mail clerks before I got there and when I started the one manager was telling me how "stupid" the other clerks were. He likely bad mouthed me to the other person who came in. It was only supposed to be a 8 week job anyway until the woman came back from maternity leave.

    This job was during a dancing break and I returned the next week to dancing.
