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.

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

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

Send CV. Make lots of money.

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

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.

Waaa?.. Ichsa!

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

Whuuuut?

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

Definitely his loss, and totally strange.

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.
