ronniethebear Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 There's a lot of backstory involved, and right now I'm in no mood to type it all out, but it basically involves me getting axed for something that many, many people at that store do all the time and get away with it. There's a whole lot of nepotism going down there, and that's just not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewbr0 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 ahh, the ol' "setting the example/ scare tactic for other employees" fire. been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Yeah, they've been "making examples" of a lot of "old school" employees lately, doing the whole cleaning house thing since there's new management. Some people just don't know how to run a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivsavage Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Sorry to hear that, Ronnie. Job searches suck. Sounds like it may not be such a bad thing to get away from the new management, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewbr0 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 im sure your job is more important than this, but when i worked at ben and jerrys last summer that exactly what happened to me. new management came in, picked on me, eventually fired me. however, what i dodnt think they realized, is how close all the employees were. i mean, 4 of us lived together. so when they fired me, be the 2nd day after that 10 people had quit.

ronniethebear Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well at the moment I'd probably take just about anything...but I'd really like something that isn't retail if I can get it.
