Bye bye Sears ...

#1 Post by Steffi Evenstar » Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:10 pm

yup. They fired me yesterday. claimed that i "complained too much about putting away stock." which is bull. truthfully, i think because sales are down, they had to get rid of someone, and I was the easiest target. stupid Sears.

I'm sorry you got canned, that always sucks.
Do you have any other prospects available for yourself?

Oh, I didn't mention? I forwarded The Official "Take this job and shove it" Thread that you started to your boss a while back. Was I...not supposed to do that or something? :hat

Hehe...seriously, though, you're better off, Steffi. Now maybe you can find a better job. Good luck! :)

That'd be classified as 'unfair dismissal' here. Sorry to hear they sacked you.

That sucks harder than an Electrolux on the fritz. You were too good for that scum-hole anyway. You'll find something more constructive, I know!

Sorry about this, Steffi. I've been getting a few more offers, so I could make a recommendation for you.

You do understand genetic technology, right? :D

haha- thanks Wolfgang. :P

i read in the paper that Sears' sales have been down something like 85%, and they've cut over 300,000 jobs. so, i think i was a victim of this, but my manager made up some bullshit excuse. probably thought i was like those i worked with and wouldn't be able to grasp what that meant. whatever. screw them!

Say your boss to meet you at dawn and fight him, but like real men, with only your fists.
