So i got fired... but there is more than that

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-21-2005, 08:52 AM

ok, so i'm just gettin home after i got fired.... but here is the wierd thing. I work hard, pretty much have trained every new kid that has come in there and the manager has been trying to promote me to Service manager for over 3 weeks now....

ok so heres the reason i got fired:

the South East manager came in today to watch us work, so i walk in EVEN 2 minutes early! and he is like hey can i talk to you for a second before you clock in? i was like yeah sure, he's like so why did you touch the cameras? (these cameras are there so they can spy on us while we work to make sure we are working) anyways, i was like um, i touched the camera once, and that was under the direct command of the general manager b/c someone had moved them. (i know who it was and he got fired about 2 weeks ago) anyways, so he's like are you calling me a liar, i have you on camera moving them. i was like no...i'm not calling you a liar but if you're accusing me of doing something i didn't do then yes, you are a liar. Because i am not going to admit to a crime i know i didn't commit. He's like well why did you move them? i was like i didn't move them dude, i was told to "re-focus" them by the general manager. He told ME specifically to do it. i was like dude i HATE ladders with a passion man, what makes you think that i'm really going to get up on one just to make sure that you don't see me sitting down for 5 minutes? dude, i'm up high on this little totem pole here, if i wanted to get it done i could have told someone to do it but guess what i didn't and do you know why? B/C i didn't do it! He's like you're fired, leave the premesis. (sp?) i was like ok, fine, but ask anyone here and they will tell you this is a mistake on your part, and they all know i didn't move those cameras...

end rant.

Thats some fucking bullshit...

**Dark Side** · 10-21-2005, 08:55 AM

^^^ I am with her on that one.

**A.P. Photography** · 10-21-2005, 08:57 AM

should have asked to see the film he has of you moving the cameras and then brought in the GM but unfortunatley GA is a fire at will state.

**soxfan30** · 10-21-2005, 08:57 AM

Dude sorry to hear that. That is some fucking bullshit though. Unless they can prove that something is even missing, then they have no grounds to fire you. Did he check with your g.m.?

**soxfan30** · 10-21-2005, 08:59 AM

Correction...I was just told that apparently this state can fire you without giving reason. Sorry, I'm from Massachusetts originally, it's different there.

**rickgiblin** · 10-21-2005, 09:09 AM

Understand, GA is a fire at will state, they do not have to give you anything or even explain why they fired you.

Wow dude, if this was you talking him up for all this, good job. If it was him offering this so that you come back if he can pull some strings, then that's cool too. Obviously shows they want you around...

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-21-2005, 09:32 AM

yeah man i told him thats the only way i'm coming back... they do want me there, thats why this was pretty much a shock.

**civic95** · 10-21-2005, 09:33 AM

I like that idea, just call corporate and tell them as you were walking in he confronted you about gay sex in exchange for a raise. He will be investigated beyond belief, and he will think twice about firing for no reason in the future.

**BTEC** · 10-21-2005, 09:33 AM

i wouldve had a much bigger attitude about it. sounds like some iddiot who wanted to fire you just bc he could. that pisses me off, big time. is it really that serious that u moved the camera? i dnt think so. i wouldnt go back until he apologized unless i really need my job back.

The key to this apparently is you have to call it "gay sex". Otherwise it means nothing...

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-21-2005, 09:37 AM

i don't plan on going back until i get what i wanted... and no moving the cameras really isn't the much of a bad thing... they aren't positioned for any security purposes, they are just there so they can make sure we're working.... but yeah i will need money soon so i'm going to run over the gwinnett mall area and see if any dealer ships are hiring or anything....i want to work in a car place if i can... and for preferably for more than 8 dollars an hour.

**Kristi** · 10-21-2005, 09:37 AM

that sucks ass jm - and you are nicer than me, i would have knocked him out.

That is what I was telling JM.. there wasnt anything missing or any reports of anything so whats the big deal and then also the fact that they only confronted him and not the guy that had asked him to do it kinda pissed me off... I told him it sounds like he puts up with alot of bullshit there and Just get his name cleared and be done with it unless he really wanted to go back. To me it sounds kinda triffling and messed up... I don't know if I would want to work for a company like that anyways...

**ironchef** · 10-21-2005, 09:42 AM

Papa Johns is hiring, atleast my location is i think, for drivers. You average about $15/hr generally, and all you do is deliever pizzas, pretty easy job.

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-21-2005, 09:42 AM

It is not quite that simple. It is true that GA is not a right to work state, but you still have to have some reason for the firing. Employees do have some recourse, even if it is very little.

Wrong, it is a fire at will state and if you read the paper that you sign when you do your new employee paperwork it states that your employment can be terminated at anytime without reason.

thats when u get that lame "incompetent" lable. my ex got fired from one of her job bc she wouldnt let the mngr feel on her and when she finally got a seperation notice 3 weeks later it said she was incompetent. its like a defautl excuse or somethign i think.

yeah i learned that when i 1st moved here from florida. suck but what are u gonna do. if u wrk for the government or the state i think ur job is a bit more secure. my mom is a teacher and she has tenure which is like job security or something, not totally sure EXACTLY but thats pretty much what it is.
