So, I got FIRED! Yay, huh?
<rant>
Well this marks the beginning of the end of GreenField Village's (in Dearborn, MI) Catering team. Us guys (bussers for weddings, etc.) were out taking a break in the 'break area' outside which is sort of like a concrete courtyard. Anyways, the other guys were playing football with a pop bottle (plastic) filled with water or whatever... kicking it so it would hit the wall of the building / windows or go in the street. Well, I was tired so I saw a wall (border of the courtyard) about 7 feet high and decided that would be a nice place to go chill and maybe lay down on. So I get up there and just sit there, doing my thing- which was nothing. No harm done. (In presence of a "leader" mind you, so i figured it was okay) Anyways my genius friend decides that he wants to come up also. He's freakin tall but he's too weak to get up so he decides to use a statue as a ladder and ends up breaking it. Later in the night the director of the place finds out and flips. My friend ends up getting fired and my other co-workers get suspended for who knows how long. Anyway, I was just informed that it's 99% sure that i'm getting fired now also. WTF? It's nice to know that I'M getting fired for something that doesn't harm a damn thing, while the other guys are hitting windows and sh!t with the bottle and messing up the landscape (heh i added that in for kicks). But uhm...yeah. Bitches ...that's all my managers are. So %70 of the staff is now suspended with 2 additional fired.
I'm going to talk to my manager tomorrow since it isn't set in stone yet about me getting fired. Is there anything that I can bring up that one of you might have thought of in my defense to help me at least keep my job?
