Zooom!

Eight hours and I'm out.

Yes, that job I got last week, the Boss fired me.

After eight hours experience and I've been made redundant.

I'm not really too concerned, this wasn't my bread and butter after all, but seriously, this a wee bit strange.
I'm obviously not up to the standard of a minimum wage, shop-grrl material (which I totally am, by the way).

Maybe my happy-go-lucky disposition offended him...

I really can't say.

I still love that shop and will continue patronizing it, but Dude... I can only imagine that's a permanent "Wanted" sign in the door.

As far as I'm concerned he's missing out on a worker who truly loves the sort of thing that go on in that store; schlepping, dust and everything.

Good luck to him finding someone else who suits that store as well as I did.

But still... *scratches head*

What the fuck is it with weird employers firing people this week? Slicha, sis.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

I know!
Dude, the universe is telling us that we need to chill, I think.
At least that's how I'm choosing to take one man's total unreasonable-ness.

[sabotabby]

WTF? That's insane. I'm sorry.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you, it's my sunny happy-go-lucky disposition that did it!

[tamara-russo.livejournal.com]

Stupid people. Did he give out a reason? Even if he did, still, stupid.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

He said he felt I wasn't "right" for the job, basically.

Yeah, I know.

[tamara-russo.livejournal.com]

You were a shop clerk, for crying out loud! Oh my, this person needs to be put to sleep!

[morin.livejournal.com]

Send CV. Make lots of money.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Done.

Too right.

Screw 'im.

[aesiron.livejournal.com]

Odd.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Very.
Though it's very much a "Them Not Me" issue.
Yeah it sucks to be fired, but I'm not too bothered by it and in the end it's more his problem.

אם זיהיתי את החנות, כמו שנדמה לי מהתאור שלך, אז הוא מחליף מוכרות בקצב שאני מחליפה גרביים

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

וואלה. אז יש סיכוי שהשלט "דרוש עובד" הוא ברירת מחדל, אם כך המצב.

טוב לדעת שזו דפיקה שלו... אני מניחה כאן שאת מחליפה גרביים לעתים תכופות
;P

לא שמעת את השיר על גרביים שחורים?

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

אני לא מתנהגת ככה לגרביים שלי!
מגיע להם הרבה יותר.

[seilduksgata.livejournal.com]

Thats bizarre... You seem to have some rough luck with being fired from jobs - didn't something similar happen a few years ago with a secretarial job? Its a bummer that workers rights aren't better.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Dude, good memory! Though I imagine you may have scrolled through the mem's(?).

Yeah, getting fired seems to be a trend, the only job I've been able to hold steady for the past few years have been infant care.

But as I've mentioned I'm not all that concerned as I consider it his loss.
The secretarial job was pretty sucky in any event.

[shelestel.livejournal.com]

Waaa?.. Ichsa!

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm saying, dude.

[lilacsigil.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...sounds like he doesn't actually want anyone in the shop with him! Bookshop owners are seriously weird people.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

It certainly looks that way, doesn't it.

[stateofwonder.livejournal.com]

Whuuuut?

Are you even allowed to fire people without giving an actual reason?

Definitely his loss, and totally strange.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Yea... tomorrow I'm meeting my therapist, I'm looking forward to hearing her take on the weirdness that were two days on the job.

*sigh*

[wijsgeer.livejournal.com]

sorry to hear about it!

I've been fired twice. Once from a silly job (boring, short term low pay), my voice wasn't cheerful enough (I was telephone-operator) and I didn't dress up enough. (I was doorwoman at a cleaning company !! this is one and the same job)
The other was shitty, (long term job, nice (at the Anne Frank Huis)) got fired after being on half sick leave for 2 years. I had hoped I would feel better and be able to find an other job and go on in my healing process, but in stead I become worse and got depressed and only 5 years later I ended up at the hospital. So *grrrr* but I guess your firing will be less high impact.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Awww man, that's so unfair.

Yeah, this firing wasn't that high impact as what you describe. Mainly confused.
