Bad News From guy at work.

O. K let's roll back in time a sec here. I have been working for the same company for 7 years now. I have been "Written up" for two things in my career. :rolleyes: HAH . . Career :rolleyes:


  • * 4 years ago I showed up to work not wearing my "Career apparel" (Cargo pants and work shirt) and was late the on the day our big manager was there.



    * Last week for "Lackluster performance"



You know real Kindergarden kind of Crap. Last weeks write up was due in part of ME having to pick up the slack for someone that not only does not speak english but lives on site AND was hurt badly on the job 3 years ago due to his own neglagence AND is set to retire in just a couple years. Granted I was his supervisor and have been told on numerous occasions that I cannot do anything because he is now in a "Protected class" :rolleyes:



So this guy Hangs out in his apartment a good solid combined 4 hours of the 8 hour work day. "Upper" Management knew about it as I had voiced my opinion CONSTANTLY about it.



So Let's bring us up to speed here. Last week (Wed) I was brought into the office and had a written consultation on my "lacking performance". I missed a deadline on a Bid , a spreadsheet , and staff scheduling. HOW CAN I SCHEDULE A STAFF WHEN HALF OF IT WAS TRANSFERED LAST WEEK?



I walked out pretty stewed to say the least. The next day I walked in and demanded a Full site consultation in the management office @ 9:00 A. M tuesday Mainly to address the issue with Mr "Protected". All partties agreed and as of Thursday the meeting was set in stone for the proceeding Tuesday.



Boy I was stoked as I finally may be able to get somewhere with theese people and make them see what a major drain to this site he really is and it is NOT my doing. I am left to juggle Ordering , Budget control , scheduling , inspections , work orders , turnover forcast, contract negotiations , contractor scheduling , and lastly Doing the physical aspect of the A: present crew I have left and B: the crew that you allocated to different properties.



Monday Morning 9/11/2006 @ 9:00 A. m.



"Come on in the office a sec Tim and close the door. "



"This is Mrs XXX So and So our new HR director"



"Hi" I said Sheepishly



"Well Tim in light of last week I regret to inform you that you no longer work for the company"



"Sweet" I said emphaticaly



Monday Morning 9/11/2006 9:03 AM I am driving home FEUMING MAD. The "meeting on Mr Protected" never happened as It is supposed to happen tomorrow #@$%! #@$%! :mad: Oh wait IT CAN'T HAPPEN I AM NOT THERE.



He survives another day.



I get phone calls all day "what happened" And EVERYBODY in the corporate office that has ever come to know me say that it sounds fishy.





What would you do?
 
Welcome to Corporate America!! :rolleyes: Another reason why I have become "self employed"!! :cool: Unfortunately, like my last "job" with the county, being the corrupt mf'ers they are , i didn't have a ice cubes chance in hell of getting anywhere , Crap, come to think of it, they never"officially" canned me either!! :eek: 7 consultations with various lawyers, and all pretty much said the same thing," we don't think you have a case!!" All but one kept my fees also, the one that didn't... thats where the captain was going to be working in 2 months when he retired!!!
 
Are you in a protected group? Over 40, handicapped in any way, etc. ? I'd at least want an explanation of what you did wrong to require termination. Is CT a "right to work" state? In NV they can fire you for whatever as long as it's not one of the protected things. Is the guy that has no english legal? If you can find out if he's not, maybe you could put INS on their butts and at least make life annoying. Good luck, one door closes, one door opens.
 
Here in CT, your employer can have you sign a document stating that they can fire you at will and give no reason. I did at the job I have now. It is a credit union.

Tool, do you remember if / what you signed??
 
**** happens for a reason. It will all work out and you will look back and laugh.



Good luck Tim you will be better off :)

Dude, he looses his job and then you call him a tool? That ain't cool...



Seriously though, whether its trucks, motorcycles, women, or jobs, remember that the next one is the best one! Take it as an opportunity.



And then give these guys a call to make you feel better. :D

Corrupt in Clark County?? Say it isn"t so. :-laf :-laf :-laf
 
The union didn't help me almost 2 years ago...



The dealership I was working at got rid of me because I "Showed a lack of attention to detail. "



In otherwords... when the dealer got bought out... Management paniced. We were in the slowist time of year. What's the easiest way to up your bottom line... . Dump someone.



Yup... that was me.

Thats the reason i am still in the Marine Corps, cant get fired and know when i get paid, oh yeah and it is fun, and i kinda feel like it is my duty to serve this beautiful country of ours.
 
TMTT, sorry for your luck. You should have taken up a 2nd langauge, (mr. protected's) spanish, albanian, slobovian, or what ever! :rolleyes: Some thing better will come along, just don't give up.
 
Toolman, sorry to hear that, let me know if I can help in any way. A similar thing happened to me a few years back, I ended up moving back to where I was raised, found a great job and now I am making over twice as much as I was before. I guess it all happened for a reason. I do have an issue with your situation though..... who told you it would be ok to reproduce :-laf Just kidding, let me know if I can help you in any way.

It probably has to do with the upcomming time change.
