I had a bad call and got off and put myself in break and said to someone "if I don't take a break for ten minutes in going to kill a subscriber" and they were going to "suspend" me "pending investigation" so I turned in my badge because gently caress you if I'm going to go home and wait for you to fire me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNEd0_rm6kU But seriously Dickeye, you said you were going to kill somebody in the workplace. Of course you weren't being serious, but can you really blame them for taking the action that they did? If it was a small family-run business or something, then obviously it would've been a different story. But working where you do, did you really expect them to just ignore that after you told someone that?

I hate to be this guy but you probably should have let them fire you because then there would have been a chance to collect unemployment. There still was a good chance that would have been rejected but by quitting you give that up. Yes I know I'm not helping but just for future reference. Also sorry about the loss of your job. Being fired is the loving worst.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I mean they may have been fine doing it in the past, but it was a corporate gig, right? That's the kind of poo poo you don't say at a corporate gig. After work? Sure, go out with your friends and tell them "I wanted to murder all those motherfuckers today", and if they know you, they'll obviously know you're being facetious. But corporate high-ups aren't gonna treat you like your friends will. That's what I'm saying, I had heard it and said it before, at this job, that I just quit, tonight. I really don't feel like arguing about this though so what the gently caress ever, I'm going to start job hunting

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Man that's so extra. "Extra" is a great thing that I didn't hear before I moved to the south, I love it. Also two days ago I found out that I was literally the fifth best person in my department. So because I said a thing that people around the world grumble under their breath at work every day, they fired one of the best people in their department. I got a whole dick and they can choke on it.

I've been promoted twice within the last year because either no one else wants my job or I was the most qualified by method of deduction. Granted it's mostly to pay the bills between freelance work, but every promotion I've ever had was because someone was fired or quit.

I've had 3 "we need to talk about your future" conversations with my boss, and I've been assured by co-workers that no one get's through one of those (they were about separate incidents, and the last one was over a year ago). I feel bad for you man, but you shouldn't fly off the handle like that.

There's also a dumbshit catchphrase we're supposed to use when greeting a customer, but I only use that when managers are within earshot, because it's so cheesy. Anyone want to hire a vaguely amusing writer?

I don't know how anyone does any customer service job that doesn't involve tips. I also don't know how any of those people maintain the slightest veneer of politeness while doing their job.

I also don't know how any of those people maintain the slightest veneer of politeness while doing their job. It's the same as with tips, they do it because they want money. It's just in this case rather than rudeness leading to no tip, it will lead to no job. It's a less satisfying connection but it's still there. On a different note I just want to say there's some special sort of special satisfaction that comes with being trained to do some bullshit sales thing and then when you actually start the job realizing no one actually does that except like the manager who still doesn't actually expect you to do it.

Oh, is this a training period, or do they do this every 3 months, because if it's the later, that's seriously hosed up. I wouldn't actually worry about it too much if it's a training period, they're just trying to put the fear of god in you.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Now I feel bad that I refuse those rewards cards all the time, I had no idea that was a thing that people could get fired over That reminds me, if you ever shop at Target be as fast the with the cashiers as you can. Those people get timed and will get a talking to if they get too many slow times. Never mind that most slow times are because of the customer and not the cashier and they don't actually have anything to account for that. It was weird getting trained in techniques to trick the system if anything tripped me up at all. Well, at least in that job, while they kept telling us to push the credit cards, even the people there knew that the Target card was a terrible deal and they couldn't actually base anything on whether we could sell them. That also reminds me that I ran into someone from the Dominos I used to work at and apparently things got way worse after I was fired. There's new owners and they changed the pay so, while you now get much more when your back at the store, you now get WAY less when you're on the road and this has led to them stop caring about giving you a route that makes good use of your time. They're also installing cameras above the prep station so people can see their pizzas being made online

"This employee got angry enough about a phone customer that he made a violent comment about phone customers, we don't want to fire him, so we're just going to make his job be entirely handling phone calls instead of splitting his time between that and the part of his job he was good at and we promoted him for."
