First time poster here. Just venting some frustration I guess. Two months ago I was in desperate need of money. Friend of mine recommended me his new job he just got that our mutual friend also works at. I inquired, got the job. I was super grateful because they saved my ass from having to Doordash my bills away, and it wasn’t super backbreaking work. Fast forward to this morning. Everyone gets along with me, I’m getting the hang of it, and actually rather enjoying it. I’m on my way into work, and about a mile and a half away from my house my brakes start grinding. I had been meaning to replace the brake pads soon but never found time. Momentarily freaked out, then just found a nearby shop, waited for it to open, and put it in there and started walking home. On the way I called friends nearby who might be able to take me, nobody responded. Oh well. Called in and left a message telling them what was up, apologized for the inconvenience, etc. I get a text back about an hour later saying I’m being fired for being “unreliable.” I missed one day before because the night before I hit my head pretty hard and went to the ER. So now it’s what, two strikes that aren’t your fault and go fuck yourself? Just goes to show, don’t put in your two weeks, don’t put in extra work, don’t suck up, because all it gets you is thrown out on your ass in the cold. I guess you stop being friends when you work together. Fuckers.
