Foodservice, normally closed on mondays. We were doing a deep cleaning day and I was looking forward to it because it's a short shift and I needed to put some elbow grease into my station. All's good, works done, they pull be aside at the end and fire me for bullshit reasons like “You're not growing as fast as we like” “You're not listening when we point out what you're doing wrong” blatant lies, I put my everything into this restaurant, I loved this place. No warnings, no write-ups, no paper trail. The only other things were moments when put up boundaries or asserted some kind of authority (ie insubordination or bruising the boss' fuckin ego).
It was so abrupt. I'm confused, and angry, I already have a backup plan so I won't be without work for long but it's just not fair. I was so happy there, stable, making good money. And he said it so nonchalant “We're parting ways today” like I didn't just bust my ass on what's normally a day off for me.
