well, one argument is all it took! holy shit, im 30 years old, probably worked for 35 different bosses (many in construction so changing guards was common) and i have never been fired. never had a boss who didnt see the value in me even if they didnt really care for me.
but this guy? he says since i dont like him (which i never even hinted at) that im fired.
the argument started yesterday because i went on a service call during my time. i had just been to this guys house, and he paid good money for me to hook up his home theater system. he calls back later and says he cant figure a couple things out.
i knew the boss would charge him more money, but i knew the guy wasnt going to be happy with that. so i told him i will stop by his house on my way home and walk him through some things.
and the boss finds out the next day and is PISSED. he told me i cant be doing things like that, its not my decision and he wanted to know why my attitude was poor the last few weeks. i didnt understand, and i asked him if i had done anything wrong. he said no, but i was turning into the other employee he has and that worries him.
i felt insulted at that point, and i told him that. then he told me to tell him why i felt insulted, and that my attitude needs to change. thats were i kinda lost it, and i told him HIS attitude is whats crap, and its effecting everyone in the shop. this was first minute in the morning, and we worked all day peacefully after that.
well, this morning, he calls and says im fired because i dont like him and hes never had anyone talk to him like that. i said i was just being honest like he asked so we can work things out... but that doesnt matter.
unemployment should be there at least. i JUST got a glowing 3 month review from the guy, with a raise and not a single negative comment on it. if he tries to fight this claim i will be royaly upset..... what an idiot!
he just got done telling me how much i have done for him too. he said i caught the shop up to speed in 4 months when he thought it was going to be another year+. i guess i did too good of a job, because he doesnt need me anymore!
whatever. work was getting slower by the day. 1 out of 10 customers that walked in left happy, because he overcharged the crap out of everyone. getting fired wasnt exactly the plan i had in mind, but at the same time i knew this boat wasnt going to float forever.
just wow. what a feeling! i have always quit my jobs in the past... this is very different! i dont feel bad though, because i certainly didnt warrant this.
