Terminated

[RaptorJesus]

I was terminated yesterday.... from you know, work.

So... I'm FREEEEE!!! It feels great, good riddance. I can't wait to do something new, does anyone have anything they want me to do?

So why were you 'terminated' from work?

More layed off actually, they just put that in the paperwork just to be dicks about it. They discriminated against me simply because the company is changing to get me out. Same with another guy today that was let go, also happy to be gone. I actually wish it could have been done sooner, the place was only holding me back I feel.

It was basically today a day to dump a couple spots on the roster for more salary room to hire others. Companies can conveniently say whatever they want just so they don't have to say you were layed off.

So I guess you have to go looking for work again. That sucks. I wish you luck in the job hunt. Hope you find a much better job to replace it mrgreg846.

Thanks, things are already looking up, I've had an interview couple days ago that seemed very promising! Praying that I get an offer from them. I have savings that should get me through like 2 more months before it gets really scary.

If you wanted to get fired in the first place, why didn't you just quit?

I want you to make a picture of a terminator kissing me on the cheek.

Hop to it.

Because, in a scummy-genius way he wanted to get fired so he could atleast collect unemployment until he gets a new job.

That's easy, I never wanted to in the first place. I'd ask yourself or anyone else almost the same question:
Why don't you just quit your job if there's something you don't like about it?

I think we'd have basically the same reasons to that question.

Still no job offers have come through yet. I'm still on the prowl filling out applications, beating the bushes.

Which is also a curse because then my employers think they can jerk me around.

It can help you get a raise, though.

Well, good luck man...

This place brought life changes because I basically tripled my income in only a year after my job previous to this one. So much was different, I paid back my Mom everything I ever owed. I had no other debts or anything so I got a mortgage and moved and just been living simple just paying my mortgage and saving money since.

I'd take a $9/hour job somewhere just to be employed right now and pay things, but hopefully I can find something like I had.

I did the math and I could pay things if I starve myself and eat campbells soup or something.

Exactly what did you work as to be so happy about being layed off?

Have you ever actually tried talking to your boss about a raise?

Have you after quiting or being terminated asked about a raise? How did that go?

You're not who I was quoting.

I've seen bits of predator but not all of it.

[RaptorJesus]

I've recently I've found work and am back in action again. Thanks everyone for your replies.

It's so good to be back, even if it isn't quite perfect the culture of my new work is much more forward thinking and positive. Beats the shit out of dealing with the fat elderly greedy corporate fucks of my old job.

Terminate YOURSELF.

What kind of person is happy when he got laid off? Especially in this era. Unless you have a new job ready then be ready to face the long tough time ahead.

[AboboJoe]

At least you'll get that sweet, sweet employment insurance! I mean, being laid-off and all.

Thanks AdoboJoe, I'm already back in action though. I'd still not have it any other way. Even about making half the money what I was making now at the new place I'm miles happier under these circumstances of the new environment I'm in.

I personally lived the lesson that money cannot buy happiness. It can buy a lot of cool stuff, but still not make you happy. I'm happy with everything that's happened as it did. It really is just like Harold & Kumar:

"In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should."

Or like Firework lol,

“Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed, so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.”

Get terminated=get rekt.

You have been watching too much of it and so your life is out of balance. Pick up a new hobby to rediscover life.
That's the most I can say.

So... congrats on losing your job? Things to do: how about getting a new one? :P
