You're fired!

I've been fired many times. It's not exactly something I'm proud of though; sometimes I deserved it, sometimes I didn't.

I got "let go" from my first job as a bowling alley attendant because I was only 14 and you have to be 18 to work league because you need to be 18 in order to fix the broken machines (even though I already fixed them multiple times anyways).

Here's an interesting firing story on how I DIDN'T deserve it:

I worked at the local movie theater. Every week our schedules were posted up in the office. When I was hired, I had explained to my boss that I couldn't work until around 4-4:30PM because I had an extracurricular class after school that ran until such time. I had been working there for around 6 months when I got a call on my cell phone from my boss:

"Miles, you were supposed to come in at 3:15"

"I can't, I'm in class. I told you I couldn't work until 4-4:30"

"Oh ok...just come in when you are out of class"

"Ok"

So I go into work, blah blah blah we worked it out, whatever. I check the schedule and it said I didn't work the next day. Great. Next day in class, another call:

"Why haven't you shown up for work today?"

"The schedule says I'm off"

"I put an updated schedule up after you left last night. (Name) needed today off so I put you on."

"Well how could I have seen the schedule if you put it up after I left?"

"You should have called and checked, you know the schedules are constantly getting switched around."

So we talked and I ended up not going to work that day. Then the next day, I went in to work and my boss was there before I got there. I worked for like, half an hour, and then she all of a sudden pretended to 'just then' see me, and go "Oh, what? Why are you here? Um, oh yeah, I need to talk to you."

She then proceeded to fire me. She told me when I was filling out applications that I could say I quit. Whatever. Bitch was extremely childish, too. I think she just didn't like me and decided to fire me just because she could.

Then once I got fired from Chevron for getting way too drunk one night, having to work then next day, and calling in sick 2 hours after I was supposed to be there. Oops.

Three months later, when it was obvious that I had no intent of working there anymore, I returned. The managers saw me and asked what in the hell happened.

I told them all about the asshole cook who called me arrogant, lazy and who threw pots at me. I told them about the stoners who mocked me by singing my name incessantly. I told them about the idiots who constantly tampered with my grill set-up. I told them about having received permission to go away and then being expected to abandon those plans at the last minute.

Then I told them about the nice conversation I had with someone at the Corporate HQ in Minnesota about the poorly run franchise in Western New York and all the instances of harassment I had encountered, and also some of the more heinous health code violations. I told them how I gave the representatives in HQ the names of all the managers who ignored my complaints and forced me to call Minnesota with my grievances.

Then I left as they stood there, jaws agape, speechless.

Within four months, all of the managers who worked there when I quit were no longer with the company.

Fuck Perkins.

Fuckin' A dude! You sure showed them what's up.

(BTW not all stoners are brainless O_O)

Jam it back in, in the dark.
