Due to a combination of traffic and not being able to find my car keys, I was late to work today. All that happens in the beginning of one’s shift is that a manager goes ‘blah de blibbedy blah’ about shit that no one cares about–so I didn’t miss much. One of the assistant managers, who COULD be cool if he didn’t have his head all the way up corporate’s ass, decided it was high time he taught me a lesson about personal responsibility.
He’s since been too embarrassed to look at or talk to me all day. HAR HAR.
Yeah, maybe SOME DAY I’ll regret this, but it’s not very high on Mellzah’s scale of ‘likely to happen’.
The line about suspension slays me. C’mon! Suspend me! Give me a three day weekend!
HAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!
That’s so delicious I want to EAT it with a SPOON.
At least you know why he’s on a career track at Guitar Center.
How did I know that you especially would get a kick out of this? 🙂
my last firing wasn’t so much something horrible for the boss in your fashion as a sworn affidavit that goes in his file that if he treats another employee like he did me he’d be fired without his pention..
holy crap, I don’t believe I’ve heard THAT story!
GAAAAAH!
Why do you sign these?
Never sign them.
Where you sign your name, say “I don’t agree to sign this”
Well, I really WAS late. It’s not a big deal, really. They can write me up til they’re blue in the face–they’re not going to get rid of me because I’m too valuable at the moment. When they start hiring competent employees other than myself, that’s when I’ll start worrying.
Yeah, but that’s the beauty of the whole thing…even if you’re wrong, you don’t have to admit it.
I must say, I love the employee comment.
I was smirking all day long.
You’ve once again proven your full rockiness. Or rockdom. This is simply too cool.
😀
I knew you’d get a kick out of it. I haven’t forgotten about your picture, BTW, I’ve just been busy with zombie porn!
Awesome.
When I got fired from Longs, they had me sign some paperwork, and there was a space for comment. I wrote “Steve Bingham [assistant manager] is a pedophile.”
I was dissapointed when I didn’t have to sign anything for Applebees. 🙁
😀
I forget why you get fired from Longs–did you discover Steve in an act of pedophilia?
Heh yeah, I did something similar when I quit my waiting job, of course, the owner barely spoke english, so it wasn’t quite as funny
Maybe not AS funny, but funny nonetheless! 😉
question: how is it a verbal warning if it is written down?
An invisible magic elf transcribes it?
They need to have a record of the conversation happening or I could theoretically do it over and over and over again and they couldn’t suspend me because there would be no supporting documentation.
Although the order is supposed to be, verbal warning, WRITTEN warning, suspension.
I have always wondered about this..
Ikon always fucks you in the ass with those when the ‘real written writeup’ hits you bent over without lube.
Dare I say Pwned?
