Ya, so what's your point?

I think they need to sticky a thread like this, so the pathetic newbs who would think to open up and bare all here would think twice..............:p
Title it: Newbs and whiners beware! This place is like a pirahna barrel, if they detect weakness!

bank of america kinda sucks, go to another bank like wachovia, cause they offer more money.

Don't let your parents' expectations get you down.

Just keep trying and learn from your mistakes.

Well, being a chronic late employee will get you fired 100% of the time...
Your employeer did you and him a favor:
- He needs someone who will be there when he wants them there
- You have felt the pain of being laid-off and know not to follow the same path...

Just go out and get another job, start getting to the job EARLY and develop a strong work ethic...
It's not the end of the world, and at least you weren't fired for stealing or having sex in the womens' bathroom...
You will get a new job that fits you better and you will learn not to show up with sleepy eyes from now on...

BTW, I am sure you could develop an extraordinary work ethic if you really wanted to, and that is what will get you far in this capitalist society....

LMAO, Did you even read the thread?

Fact 1: You don't get fired for being late just once. If he was fired for being late, that means it wasn't his first time, hence his refrences to "mistakes". He has a poor work ethic.

Fact 2: He posted another thread a week ago asking how to break through password protection so he could surf the internet while he was supposed to be working. If he reached his goal, that means he wasn't doing his job. Hence, he is a poor employee.

If you post this situation on ATOT, why the **** would you expect sympathy?! ATOT is a swift kick in the ass, 24/7.

sig material right there

lol, or we could just all hold hands and sing kumbaya.

It's a cold old world out there. The original poster is an adult and it's time to grow the f*ck up. We all screw up when we are young, it's part of the growing up part. Why the hell is he/she living at home at 19 anyway.

One thing that I'm seeing more and more everyday (and it disturbs me) is a serious lack of work ethic in the next generation that is on the way up. Everyone seems to be either a "victim" or wants to know what in it for them.

Man, you guys SUCK. The guy is down, his mom is being a b1tch and all you guys can do is put him down more. He?s got enough negativity being thrown at him who needs a bunch of computer nerds telling him he?s a looser.

Tune her out. Get out of the house as much as possible. Go out with your Boys get SMASHED fvck some ugly chick that you'll regret in the morning once your beer goggles ware off. Then focus your worries on finding a new job and wondering if that ingrown hair is herpes from the nasty slvt you banged. You?re a guy these are the things we do when life throws us a curve ball.
Most women nag, it's in there nature. I'm sure your mom means well, and wants to help, but she can?t help being a total b1tch. Don't stay out of work to long, its hard get back to working after a long down time.

Things to do, First things first don?t feel sorry for yourself, and get motivated. Next do the following.

1. Apply for Unemployment. (Atleast apply even if you don?t think you will get it, it can be done online in most states.)
2. Update Resume.
3. Spam Monster.com Careerbuilder.com
4. Stay away from your house, and mom.
5. GET HAMMERED!
6. Get laid or at least go to a strip club or something, and look at some beautiful women. (Maybe that will help motivate you)

Don?t Ride the Unemployment out till the end, I?ve seen to many of my friends do this and wind up worse off at the end.

thinkin about living w/ my friend for a shortwhile



i am moving out next semiter to diff university

has anyone have gotten fired b4 AT AGE 19! ?? its fuc king pathetic to get fired from a professional job AT BEING 19:(

Look at it this way, you are obviously very talented to have had a professional job at age 19. Don't worry about it, there are other jobs out there. Just learn from your mistake, that's what we call growing up. Sometimes Desi parents give you the impression that they never needed to grow up and that they never made mistakes. This is obviously not true. Even if they run the customary "I came here with only $3 in my pocket story" by you (again), remember they were not as perfect they like to make themselves out to be.

Don't beat yourself up over this as what's passed is past. This won't even affect your future hireability as you can say that you had a particularly difficult semester and decided to quit. Especially the fact that you are transferring makes it even better in that it just looks like you decided to finish up your semester without working and then concentrate on relocating.

If you feel really down take advantage of the university's counselling services, every university has one since they know that students are under a lot of stress and in a major transition in their lives. This will be the last time in your life that such help will be free - take advantage of it even if you don't think you need it. It can take the edge off. (If you haven't already noticed ATOT is no substitute for a trained counsellor - you'll usually go from bad to worse by getting things off your chest here).

Your 19 years old going to College. I think that is pretty damn good in itself. When I was 19 and 20 I got fired from a couple jobs for showing up at work stoned or drunk. We all grow up and learn over time. I find too much pressure gets placed on young people today. They're expected to transform from a kid to an adult instantly with no room for trial and error. Don't let critics get the better of you. Live and learn from your mistakes. Stay determined and you will do just fine.

I see people like this a lot (I used to be one). I'm guessing you are in your late teens/early 20's, and you feel there are a lot of people in your life that are being too harsh on you. The problem is you're trying to do the minimum to get by in each situation you're presented with. I know you're not going to want to hear this, but procrastination and laziness are what's causing people to view you in an unfavorable light. Like I said, I was just like this until I took an assertiveness course for a management position I was trying to get. They offered training in how to train yourself to always go above and beyond what people expect of you, then people will view you as a leader rather than a follower. Here's some examples of how to think:

- You're asked by your boss to move a computer from one desk to another.
Mediocre worker: unplugs the computer, moves it to the other desk, plugs it back in
Excellent worker: Unplugs the computer, cleans any dust from desk, organizes cables for the next person, cleans area around new desk, plugs in computer, organizes cables.

- You need to be at a meeting at 10:00am
Mediocre worker: Shows up at 10:00am, leaves when meeting is over.
Excellent worker: Shows up at 9:45am, helps set up chairs if needed, helps to organize, stays after to help clean up.

There were many exercises like this, but in a nutshell, if you live by the rules of "Leave it better than how you found it," "Be 15 minutes early for everything," and "Always do one extra step beyond your task," people will look at you in a whole different light. You may see these people as anal, but trust me, these are the types that go places.

Good luck to you.

You were lucky enough to get a good job at your age.
You tried to find ways to get around their security system.
You were habitually late.

You got fired.
You say horrible things about your mom cause she was not proud of you for your lameazz behaviour.

you should be ashamed of yourself.
I hope you learn to be a bit more mature.

While I've not read this entire bloated thread, and at the risk of sounding like a dick, while you're living in your parents' home, your parents dont owe you respect. On the contrary, you owe it to them. And furthermore, I'm willing to bet you didnt get fired for being late just one time. And finally, like others have said, you got yourself fired, not your mom. Buck up and get a new job, and don't do the same stupid things you did to get fired from this one. And if you don't like living with mom and dad move out.
