Well i thought it couldnt get worries!!! But guess what it did!!

Well the other day i got called into the managers office and was FIRED!!! I said say what? They said i was fired for lack of production in the last 3 months ? I said how is this possible when i was here till 11pm and finished all my work? Then i was back there at 6am to do my normal job and that is to watch inv in the store. Right there they couldnt do that because there wasnt 8 hours between shifts.

So right after my team found this out one of the other guys walked with me because he said if i wasnt running the team he didnt want to be on it. The other 3 guys had a meeting with the manager and told him straight off. Now the rest of the team is talking about leaving because they dont think they should have to worry about there jobs everyday.

That day when i got home i read my works book and it said they can only fire you with out reason when "you make fun of someones race" "stealing" "sexaul herassment"!!! None of which i did. otherwise they would have to give you a warning or write up which i do not have because i would have had to sign them and i never had one. Also they were supposed to give me a review every 3 months and i never got one in the 1year i was there.

So i filed a complent with the laubor board and the human res. The guy next door this use to be his job getting ppl back there old jobs and any lost wages in the time it took. So he is dealing with it all. He said i should be able to win this so i am hopeing so. Oh yeah my manager has threten me there too!!!

I thought for ever 3 bad things one good thing was supposed to happen? well in the last 6 months i lost my g/f that i loved, my grandpa went into the hospital, then his heart stop working on its own, lost my dog, Car is brokin,have a bad time in school, have no money now/job,Friends a annoying me. Like when are things going to start looking up for me? i dont like the way things have been going!!!!!

Thx p.s i guess this is just away to let something out sry!!!

I know it was just a vent, but here are two little thoughts I use when it seems like everyting is going wrong:
1) Look at everything as an opportunity, even if it hurts or seems bad at the time. For example, maybe losing your job will lead to a better job.

2) Stay positive. Have you ever noticed how some people have things going wrong all the time? Like they're victims of life? You can usually identify them quickly because they complain all the time. My theory is that these negative people draw bad people and things into their lives. Positive people attract other positive people and great opportunities. Not that I think you're a negative person SIC, it just helps sometimes to tweak your perspective and know that better things will come. At the very least, it gives us some hope and makes the bad things seem not so horrible.

I hope that helps a little, and I'd be willing to bet good things are in store for you! :D
 
I'll agree with Erika, to a point. There are a lot of times in life where bad things happen, but there is an even bigger thing that comes along that's better.

But there are some things where it just plain sucks (i.e. family member or pet dying, etc.) and there's nothing you can do about it. And that's just it. There isnt anything you can do about it except mourn your loss and move on. And I know that is easier said than done. But really, when you've got a pissy or negative attitude about everything, no one is going to want to be around you, give you a job, etc. You're the one that has to put your life together and keep it that way. No one else is going to do it for you.

You're right...let me clarify that I don't advocate ignoring bad events or not grieving losses. Bad things happen to everyone, and they (and the feelings associated with them) should be recognized and felt for what they are. Some people view thier lives as a neverending road of bad luck/events, whereas others (and I) make the choice to see life as a road of happiness with some bumps (albeit some huge, painful ones) along the way.
Neither good nor bad things come in threes or any other number...that's just something we tell ourselves to inspire some hope. However, if you're convinced good things are to come, they will.

I also walk around with my head up even when my pins are falling down!! I never let anyone know whats going on. I think i am positive but like i just havent had any luck at all in the last little while and its getting hard to walk around with a positive out look on everything. Its starting to wear me down!!!

When i said i dont let other ppl know whats going on i mean i keep alot of shit inside of me because i feel that i can take care of my own problems. thats how i have always been.

Now that i got no job i aint crying about it i will get another one i am just pissed off!!!!! for the reason.

I feel also that i got no one to talk to!!! before my ex listen to everything i said and help me out the best she could and now i dont trust anyone else and i know she never said anything to anyone.
thx for helping
 
Well, keep that head up, SIC! Plus, you can talk/vent to us if you want...I know how stressful it is to keep everything inside all of the time (eventually, you just explode at the wrong time and place). Here's to wishing you many good things in the near future!
 
Thx alot SE. I know what its like keeping it in all the time. Once i let it stay in for to long and i ended up doing something i wish i never have done. But me and him are friends again and he said he deserved it for messing around with my ex along time ago.
