My work called

[Sykedupp]

And said

"Chris, we need to have a discussion regarding your employment here at Canadian Diabetes Association... Could you come in on Monday morning at 8AM? Thank you."

Am I fired, y/n (poll)

And if so, should I do any antics? Like throw eggs or stinkbomb or what?


-Chris

[bode]

need more info

how long have you worked there?

are you the low/mid/high man on the totem poll?

do you, in fact, have diabetes? *


























** the 3rd question has absolutely no bearing on the decision.

[bigred]

In office space they fired people on Fridays because it results in less outbursts, so by theory of hollywood, you are safe. Hit on your boss's wife at the company party of the weekend.

[Xianti]

Depends. What did you do?

[Lukie]

yes

[Warpe]

done like dinner

[Sprayed]

What days of the week do you work where they have to call you at home today, and then ask for you to come in on Monday. Sounds to me like you don't go to work very often. You're ffffffired!

[gutshot]

I look forward to your "Should I go pro?" poll.

[Sykedupp]

I'm a casual employee there, which means at the start of every week I tell them what days I can work. I've done nothing wrong in the 3 months ive been there, and I'm on the bottom of the totem poll.

No I dont have diabetes.

Gutshot, I've gone pro, hence why I got a job


-Chris

[ChrisTheFish]

Hmmm, maybe fired... maybe wants you to work full time? Did you pick up a read over the phone?

[mrhappy333]

I look forward to your "Should I go pro?" poll.

Lmao!!

[gutshot]

In light of new info, I would guess they are gonna be like "we need you to work a regular schedule" or "we don't really need a slackdick like yourself who only works a couple hours a week. Goodbye"

Thoughts?

[Fnord]

They want to promote you.

[AHiltz]

If you walk in and they're a tube of lube and some rubber gloves, it ain't a diabetes test. Run!!!

[a500lbgorilla]

8 am? promotion!

[Galapogos]

If you get fired it's at the end of the day and they don't let you see it coming by giving you a heads-up call.

[alias2211]

you're going 'perm.'

[elipsesjeff]

They want to promote you.

Yeah, and, chris, be happy! ZOMG They're going to give you a whopping 5-10% more per year !! for 50% more responsibility and a commitment.

I mean, thats just so kick ass, its unbelievable.

[Xianti]

ZOMG They're going to give you a whopping 5-10% more per year !! for 50% more responsibility and a commitment.

Seriously. Even the biggest raise at a typical company equates to one extra dinner and a movie per week.

Whoop-dee-doo.

[givememyleg]

i voted for fired just because i think that would be the most interesting

this is why i will never have a job

[dsmrolla06]

i dont know, ive been unemployed the last 6 months but am considering getting a job after my gf's brother got a job at AT&T for $35/hr. This is with no prior experience and working at only factories and such and having 8 months off in between jobs numerous times. Im calling them tomorrow...

[bigred]

I'm planning on working for one of the big investment firms on wallstreet or one of the big consulting companies. Not sure which.

Since when did AT&T get into hookin? Well have fun and dont catch the AIDS.

[arkana]

Whenever someone has told me (mostly girls) "we need to have a discussion\talk" its never been good.

[bigred]

Girls won't talk to me, why?

[biondino]

Why do you of all people need them to?

[Fimanoid]

I think they're going to tell you that you need to start working regular schedule (40hrs/wk) or let you go if you don't accept.

Whatever happens, good luck!

[bigred]

I'm not gay, just eGay...duh

[cardsman1992]

Fired for sure

[jyms]

If you were supposed to be at work when they called, FIRED. Otherwie, they want to change the conditions. Also, a non-profit at 8ammaybe they want you to accept a new position so they can announce it when everyone shows up at 9:10am. You should have the feeling in your gut what they want, and I never would have let them hang that on your head for a whole weekend. You should have went in right away and forced there hand.

[Warpe]

I'm not gay, just eGay...duh

I just had to look:

http://www.egay.com/

[bigred]

LOL, they have an eGay site? I was just doing the usual internet prefix, you eFag.

[thenonsequitur]

http://www.efag.com/

someone registered it.
not much there yet though.

-Chris

Need more info.

Post reads pls... is villian a tighty? What are relative stack sizes? What is your table image?

[Sykedupp]

I'm fired... 4 days before my 3 month prohibation period would have ended, they fired me. The shop steward was with me and took me outside afterwards and told me the real reason they fired me... It was a mistake to hire me and they were just waiting to fire me until my prohibation period was over (and if I screw up enough)... So last weekend I called in sick cause I had the flu, and apparently calling in sick is enough to warrent getting fired. Oh well, was kind of a shitty job anyways, I'll go work at The Keg as a waitor and make a little more then twice as much money, haha

-Chris

[gabe]

sucks man, keep on keeping on

[thenonsequitur]

So they called you in early on a monday morning just to fire you? Your boss must have been a huge douchebag. That's like adding insult to injury. Well, more like adding unnecessary fatigue to unemployment, but you get the idea.

P.S. Getting fired qualifies you for unemployment benefits, right?

They sucked you out, but you have the longterm advantage.

[cardsman1992]

Being let go during your probationary period for missing a day isn't uncommon. In 12 years of mfg, I have seen it dozens of times. Probationary periods are just that. Walk the tightest rope you can. Miss a day in your first three months, that supposedly gives them an idea of your work ethic (not saying I agree with that, just relaying what I have been told).

They could have just fired you over the phone, but some employers insist on face to face.

[bigred]

Damn the man. Always holding us down.

[ChrisTheFish]

All the cool people play poker for a living...

[Galapogos]

That sucks! They can just fire you for calling in sick one day? In my company's union we still have to give the guy a final warning during his probation period. And even then it has to be for a reason they would get written up for under the union. Not a sick call or anything like that. I feel ripped off...
