now i fucked up

[BustedS13]

so i'm in training today. super early. learning some new systems at work. i'm a supervisor and i'm in with all these entry level dudes. our instructor walks out and takes most of the class with her to check passwords or some shit, i dunno.
i'm sitting there with five other guys for half an hour, and, fuck, it's so early. so i rest my eyes for a minute.
guess it was more than a minute, because when i open them it's because somebody's tapping my shoulder. it's my ops manager, and he is PISSED. tells me i should go home for the rest of the day and call my head supervisor.
so yeah, maybe i just got fired for the dumbest thing ever. been there for two years, promoted twice. was just about to use a week of vacation. awesome. i'm such a retard. :dead:

[Felipe]

Failure!!! lol

[VROOOM]

tell them you have sleep apnea(sp?).

[YoungGun]

Holy shit man that blows.

Do you really think they'll fire you for taking a nap though?

[RaceBred 17]

Tell them your exausted from working so hard.

[aziankingz]

Tell them you werent feeling well and that you fainted..

[cdlong]

so no one was teaching and they told you to go home? that's retarded. first, who cares. second, now you have to make up the training. there was a benefit to the company that is now lost.

[BustedS13]

Do you really think they'll fire you for taking a nap though?

it feels like the situation where they'll feed me the "lead by example" line. i mean, dude embarrassed me in front of a group of entry level guys. i dunno, we'll see. i called a couple guys and they seem to think i'll be alright, but i can't reach my supe, which is concerning me.
either way i'm updating the resume and applying to some places today. if i get a job at Charter, that's free cable! WOOOO

[DALAZ_68]

ive fallen asleep before, but the angle im at makes it look like im working, and i dont snore...lol...GL though...

[BustedS13]

so no one was teaching and they told you to go home? that's retarded. first, who cares. second, now you have to make up the training. there was a benefit to the company that is now lost.

the thing that REALLY fucking burns me is that it's mandatory training for something i already know how to do. i could have slept through the whole fucker and it wouldn't even have mattered. and before i dozed off, we were all talking about how we'd rather be doing actual work.

it's lisa's fault :s101:

[Enna]

Thats pretty bad man. I'm worried I might end up doing that when I work in the control room for my security job lol.

[BustedS13]

i'm trying to decide if i should use this awesome half day to wash the Valiant, or if i should just sit on the front porch drinking 40's and yelling at kids.

[PRADOgy]

If your work history is good

punctuallity,your performance, etc.

Then thats just messed up if they let you go so easily. Unless they have been looking for a reason to get rid of ya and finally got a petty one

[Enna]

Option 2, definately.

[crazymuppit]

front porch drinking 40s FTW

[PRADOgy]

I would craigslist a hooker on this day off

[ro240sx]

drink 40s and yell at the kids

[Enna]

I would craigslist a hooker on this day off

Option 2 PLUS this and it is a good day.

[Phlip]

tell them you have sleep apnea(sp?).

Why would pauses in breathing during sleep help in this situation?

[DALAZ_68]

Agreed...you would be surprised how angry they get when u actually bring them 200 roses though...:tardrim:

[VROOOM]

Why would pauses in breathing during sleep help in this situation?
a friend has it and before he got the mask so he would sleep better he would fall asleep anywhere. to my knowledge when you have it you never go into a deep sleep because you are constantly straining to breathe. so your constantly tired.

[blueshark123]

i think u should be fine. I hope for the best 4 u

NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU FUCKED UP NOW YOU hAVE FUCKED UP

[ronmcdon]

Seriously, I don't know what the big deal is.
Even requesting you take the day off is over-reacting imo,
but then again I don't know how rigid your company operates.
It's not like you were the one giving the training.
If anything, I think the trainer should be written up doing the training un-prepared & walking out for 30 mins.

no thanks to the entry level guys for not helping out.
how difficult is it to wake you up out of common courtesy?
hope you find some way to repay their good-will.

Good luck in any case.

[VROOOM]

if you would have fallen asleep at my work. they probably would have shot bottle rockets at you to wake you up.

[JRas]

I think you'll be fine

you've worked their for 2 years..

just admit your fault, and get back to work.

[Future240]

Damn that sucks, hopefully they don't fire you. I mean it would be kind of petty on their part to fire you for that. That is a relatively small infraction. Not like you were fapping and he walked in on you

That's what I'm thinking. Those 5 other guys didn't bother to wake you, that's sort of a deutschbag move if you ask me.

You'll be alright I think. Its all mind games, he probably sent you home to have you worrying and shit. You have to be like that guy from Office Space and just stop caring. haha.

Shit, all I have here at work is some Starbucks Liqueur that I don't even want.

This is now the zilvia drunking thread.

[XeroX]

I work for the state, and falling asleep on the job is suprisingly enough a rather BIG offense. Of course it depends on your management and how FAR they want to talk the penalties, but it can go as far as being terminated...its happened before..

I would come up with a reasonable excuse for having lack of sleep the night prior, (like family issues or personal issues if you dont want to elaborate or in this case LIE lol). Then just explain that this was a one time thing and can gaurantee that it will NEVER happen again...

thats really the only thing you can do to help the situation....but dont stress about it...no point now....

[BustedS13]

me and my job just broke up. she broke up with me over the phone, man.

anybody know anything about wrongful termination?

thats some serious ghey right there....sorry to hear it man...wack...

[ronmcdon]

Found this site, not sure if it's helpful.
Might want to look at the company's termination policies, if there are any.

Wrongful Termination - Guidelines for Making a Case (http://www.wrongfultermination.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21&Itemid=75)

can't hurt to consult a lawyer and check if you have a case.
dozing off is NOT reasonable grounds for termination.

[airsoft]

Depends on your corporate policy.

Usually you are verbal, written, 3rd strike you are gone.

[DUFFM4N]

wow man, that's totally shitty...

[hunter8411]

That sucks so bad. Good luck.

Yeah usually the company has to talk to you and write you up first before they can terminate you for something like that. Unless it specifically says otherwise in your corporate policy.

[alindeman1989]

man fuck your gay work lol. time to do a milton and burn it down lol. they took your stapler. lol

[BustedS13]

yup. i seriously got fired over the phone in a one way conversation. i just filed for unemployment, and if i don't get it, you'll know me by the trail of dead upper management. guess i ACTUALLY need to up date my resume.

What a punch in the dick.

[S14TEENZ]

u sure did fuck up

Seriously, with all the lunatics running around these days, making posts about killing people and burning places down (to everyone who has said that or will say it) isn't a smart thing to do lol.

was this your first slip up? if so, that is pretty messed up..

[BustedS13]

Seriously, with all the lunatics running around these days, making posts about killing people and burning places down isn't a smart thing to do lol.

i was going to goatse the whole company from my email account which i can still access, but i fear i'd be prosecuted and/or it'd fuck with my unemployment.

26 week 3/4 pay party here i come! :snoop: :snoop::snoop::snoop:

[cc4usmc]

Just get everyone's email address and hit them up from an email account that can't be traced back to you

[BustedS13]

heh good idea. also i need to get the word out to the floor reps that we're doing layoffs. us middle management types were informed yesterday and they're not supposed to know. it'd totally piss off my old boss. i guess this is easier because there's no severance package, lolz!

i'm making mac and cheese, shit's so cash.

[!Zar!]

Revenge on a company is childish and extremely unprofessional.

They are probably going to come up with some excuse for firing him. Like calling it a, "cutback" or something.

What reason did they give you over the phone?

[BustedS13]

misconduct, which i guess is fitting. honestly i'm doubting i'll even get unemployment. i'll fight for it to the best of my ability but we'll see.
at any rate i've applied for four jobs so far, rad

[MisawaJason]

damn, that sucks man. Sorry to hear you got the boot.

[BustedS13]

how should i explain my termination in an interview? anybody?

[MisawaJason]

Just tell them that your grandpa just died and you haven't been getting much sleep during the past few days. They'll understand

[cc4usmc]

Just blame it on the economy, a lot of people can relate haha. Some nights I can't sleep because I don't know where I'll be in a month. I would try as hard as I could not to even say the exact reason.

[ronmcdon]

You had a family emergency late at night.
You went straight to work without the chance to get rest.

You weren't feeling well & took nyquil.

I'm sure you can think of a more plausible excuse.

[MisawaJason]

Just tell them that your grandpa just died and you haven't been getting much sleep during the past few days. They'll understand

naaaaah, then he cant use it later to get a few days off

[BustedS13]

naaaaah, then he cant use it later to get a few days off

yeah no joke. all my grandparents are dead, but they don't need to know that yet.

[Gnnr]

I would try and get a termination notice in writing. I'm sort of paranoid about things like that. They can just say you didn't show up to work for 3 days straight and that you quit and you wouldn't get unemployment. I'd show up tomorrow and ask for a written letter with the company letterhead.

[ms!3]

thank your fellow employees for waking you up! What they just let you sit there and sleep?

[GSXRJJordan]

Jesus I just saw this thread, read from the beginning, and was about to tell you how much you're over-reacting...

... but they fucking FIRED you for that? I mean, true, that can be considered misconduct, but holy crap, that's some picky shit. I slept part of every workday in the Navy lol, I was just crafty about it.

Best of luck with the unemployment, but of course you'd rather have a job - when interviewing, let them know all the great things you did for your company, and how puzzled you are that they were so inconsiderate to your medical issue (no sleep/nyquil/etc), and that you don't have any hard feelings, must be the economy ~ telling them you're pissed about gettin canned will not bode well with getting a new job.

[DALAZ_68]

how should i explain my termination in an interview? anybody?

lack of sleep, family emergency works best...obviously they didnt let you give your side which makes them inconsiderate of ur situation.

or that

GL on this though bud...maybe u and Stizzy shoudl chill together

[S14DB]

Make sure you get a "pink slip." I have seen a lot of people get screwed on unemployment cause the company doesn't want to look bad or they think they are going to raise their unemployment insurance rates.

Make sure you have a reason for termination and a event description. I swear some places rubber stamp the unemployment form with insubordination or the likes even if the reason is radically different. If you have one reason on your form and they stamp some generic reason that is different it can help your case.

[sideways7]

how should i explain my termination in an interview? anybody?


Say that you were sick, and you were still a little groggy/sleepy from the medicine. Then make up some shit like "im so dedicated to my job that even though I was sick, I knew that the training was going to help me so I tried to go through with it".

i went up today to turn in my badge. called ahead, told them i wanted my desk contents. i get there and they don't have my stuff boxed up, but they DO have an officer there, hanging out, like i'm going to come in shooting or something.so i sit around for 15 minutes while they find somebody to get my shit, being eyeballed by this cop, and also most of upper management because their offices connect to reception, and they're all hanging out their doors gawking.
got my stuff, said good day, swung by NAPA for a Valiant part, and now it's mac and cheese time. i'm thinking Church's for dinner again. Gonna watch The Haunting and shoot out some applications, too. rock on

Now you can work on you're car or whatever other cool stuff you've been meaning to do.

Dood this is no good sir. I was offered a more corporate position for more money but reading this makes me want to stay with my current job where my boss and I skip work to go shooting at the local range and get wasted on work hours and money :). Downer is that the job pays shit, just mad perks.

[drift freaq]

No, that's usually how HR does it - they don't want "confrontation", and in CA they get up to two weeks I think to mail it.

Actually by California labor law your supposed to be paid in full the minute your officially let go. If they don't you can take them to the labor commission.

I used to work for a Auto Parts wholesaler in Redwood City. The boss was a real son of bitch who would talk all kinds of smack about the employee's. One day he talked smack to me and I told him how it was. He fired me, did not pay me.
A week went by and he was all like you will get paid when the paychecks are issued. Took it to the labor commission. LOL They made him pay me for the 2 weeks it took for them to issue the check. LOL It was at 1.5 times the my normal hourly wage as well because he failed. LOL Fired with 2 weeks severance pay.

Busted we may have our differences but losing a job at this time just sucks. Good luck man on getting something else happening.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

wow. that just sucks ass. That's a horrible thing about the current economy. If you fuck up you could be replaced in a SPLIT second. Look for a job where upon hiring they invest in you. Something where they have to spend money training you. Only recently I've been fucking up A LOT at my job because I have a ton of personal issues. It's multiple things, mostly stupid things though, and haven't even been written up. I've been doing the same thing for 8 years though so a certain amount of training over that time gets pretty expensive.

But good luck with this BS man. Have a nice long paid vacation if you get that unemployment.

[RiversideS13]

if this is your first time, i really don't think it is a good reason to fire you. you could be ill at that morning and the company should have tried to help you (i.e provide coffee) or give you warning first. it was a training in the early morning and it did not cause any harm or lost. i think maybe you can go seek some help to fight for this unfair HR management?
