That was my question on the Fun and Games thread... got absolutly NO love... 1 guess
Lol cuz it's old news! Almost everyone, when the first get on the board, will mention the first cigar they ever smoked...so all anybody has to do is use the search function on that member.
All right here goes my shot at this...I had a job doing traffic control for companies doing road work. My friends mom owned the company so it was a relaxed environment. It was great pay (35 hr) because it was for the city, and I was just out of high school. I got to be outside, hang out and smoke, and made better money than I could have anywhere else. One week, I went to get my schedule, and there wasn't any hours for me on it. I thought, ok maybe it's a slow week, let me see whats going on. I tried calling my boss but got no answer, so I left a message. I waited a couple days, tried calling again. Still no answer. At this point I tried calling my Supervisor, who was a good friend by this point. No answer. I was getting pretty antsy by this point. Finally, after 2 WEEKS of no answers, my supervisor picks up. I asked her what was going on, and she seemed to be avoiding a direct answer. Finally, she let me know that I was accused of smoking meth on the job by a coworker. I have never touched that crap. I immediately knew who accused me, a guy who I had yelled at and nearly gotten fired because he had repeatedly nearly gotten me and the rest of the road crew killed by not paying attention. I then called my boss from a blocked number, and surprise, she finally answered. I confronted her about the accusation and told her that I would take a drug test right then, or any time she wanted. She said that she didn't believe me and that she couldn't have an employee who did meth, because she had seen people go down that road before. So I was fired. On top of that, my friend whos mom was my boss stopped talking to me because she thought I was a meth head. On a positive note, she eventually caught the coworker who falsely accused me being dishonest in a few different situations and fired him.
yeah I got one...I used to work for Porsche here on the West coast. I was a parts driver(deliver parts to shops around the area...)not the greatest job but health benefits, still allowed me to go to school and pay was pretty good....wel as the economy started going downhill and our sales hit the tank, every one started throwing everyone under the truck. I hate that stuff so i never did it.
Well I was transfered to not only do parts driving, but also work in the detail bay to help out. I did detail before and am realyl good at it. Well there is another guy named joe who was a used car assistant(prints out stickers, helps used car manager, complete bs job), he was also the lead detailer...he was on his iphone every minute he was back there...
Well I was trying to improve the detail department to bring in better customer satisfaction so maybe they would be happier and pay us for more service work in the future...i believe in being treated as you treat people...well joe didnt like this cuz he felt he was better then his job title..even though he made 15bucks a hour doing nothing but play on his phone...
Well once I started working with the Service Manager and Sales manager to create a better routine, joe thought I was up complaining about him...so he started to slander my name...telling people I was always on the phone, walking around doing nothing. He was constantly late as well but told everyone I was. Well after a couple months of this the manager got irritated, and I GOT LAID OFF! it is complete bs...especailly after I just bought a house, a husky dog, and a newer car...I was hleping the economy recover yet this little puke moved home to save money even though he made 3$ more an hour.
Since I got laid off, he took over my job as well....he still felt he was above it so he moved to another brother dealership, another detailer took my job instead of hiring me back, and they had to hire another detailer to replace me and the other ones that moved....complete bs..
TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED...
