Worked my way up through a company over 2 years. Rarely took time off, climbed the ladder from painter to lead painter to a salaried/commissioned sales role.
Did my job throughly, was pretty successful for never doing sales prior. Finally took a week vacation – came back and got fired. Couldnt even look me in the eye and slide me a check like that would fix the fact I have to support a family with no job. Company liked to preach integrity but failed to have any. Just goes to show that no matter what, you are just a number. Fuck working man.
