I walked in one morning to them no longer wanting to spend the time to train me a newcomer to their line of work and they lay me off without warning.

Now I’m trapped in retail management again. I have removed the former employer from my resume. I don’t even care to verify whether that sack of dicks is lying. Time to move on.
