GoddamnmutterfukkenSHIT!
Mar. 1st, 2006 12:44 pmI got fired.
The reason was bullshit. An accident that every single witness stated was not my fault, but Mario the Munchkin was looking for excuses to get rid of people, and jumped at this. I'm the third driver fired in three weeks. And John the Supervisor got written up for nothing yesterday.
I loved that job, but only when I was actually doing my job. Mario made the office parts of the day range from annoying to hellish. Just today, for no reason, he switched the two warehouse managers. Great leadership, splitting up a team that works well together an know each other's strengths.
The best part? I drove this morning! He actually sent me out to do two jobs knowing he was going to terminate me! How chickenshit is that? I pointed out that he had cost me six hours of job search time; not to mention the gas for my fifty mile round trip commute.
Grumble.
Obviously, I'm in crisis mode right now. Ask![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kshandra what I'm like when I get like this. So I make a list.
Obviously, this is just a start. If I can't get a job as a driver, I'm looking at dispatching or warehouse work. One advantage I have now that I didn't have last time I was looking is that I'm a certified forklift operator with experience on a pretty big lift.
Damnit, why can't I stop seeing advantages and just feel sorry for myself for a little while? I just realized that I'd never have to do a drop in Ben Lomond again.
On the downside, my dental work just went out the window.
Fuck. I loved this job.
To show what a genius Mario is all you need to do is consider that after firing me, he let me clean out my truck unsupervised and let me leave the building without checking my cooler to see if I was taking any company property. That's Security 101! I could have walked out with a very nice set of tools had I wanted.
