Just got fired from my job of 2 years this morning. I gave a lot to them and had, what I considered, fairly good relationships with my managers. Guess I’m the fool for thinking I was anything more than another expendable cog to them.
The reason? Not being willing to put my personal health and well-being to the side. Missing one day, half of which I actually had Sick time to account for, because of waking up in horrible pain.
The best part of it all is that my manager lied right to me about it. During a call last night, they brought it up as just a “quick touch-base about attendance” and made it seem like it wasn’t a big deal at all. Something that would just take a few minutes before I had to leave for my shift today. When we were setting up the time, I even told them the initial time they wanted would make me a bit late coming in for my shift, so we agreed to move it forward half an hour to avoid that. So I thought.
Nope. They made me get up a half hour earlier just to tell me I was being terminated, knowing full well from the beginning that that’s what the conversation was going to be about. Complete disrespect after I was nothing but respectful to them.
So fuck me, am I right? No idea where to even go from here. Just needed to rant. Thanks for listening.
