Maybe he is now performing "favors" for his "friend" who inherited those apartments.

EDIT: Perhaps they were looking for an excuse to let you go?

My first thought. I think he was in their sights.

man i feel like crap. i was just let go from my company which i worked for about a year. i do desktop support for a lab company. we have 2 facilities and i accidently transferred some documents from facility 1 to facility 2 and back to facility 1. its a no-no to transfer them back to facility one. anyhow a "corrective actions" report was filed by the qa department which was to destroy the document back at facility 2. so when that was done our it department has to go thru retraining on this today(which we did). then about an hour ago by boss called me in letting me know the company was terminating my employment. they gave me a severance check, and sick time.


im just in shock because ive never been fired before. it was by far my favorite company to work for, i was paid well for my position i felt, and was 5 minutes away from work, had the best boss i ever had. in fact i moved to this area just to be closer to here. i hate doing this desktop crap and was studying to work on my mcsa/msce, and was hoping to get a promotion by the end of next year if possible. i just feel like everything ive worked for the past year at the place has been flushed down the toilet and now i gotta start from ground zero. i really want to work for a company that can offer opportunites for advancement. well if anyone in the los angeles area knows of any openings let me know.


thanks

Sorry to hear that.

I have to take exception with what you said at the end of your post though. You have experience now, sure you made a mistake, but you can take that and learn from your mistake. It will make you a better employee for your next job. I would definitely try to look at the positives and not focus on the negative.

I have been fired a couple of times. Once for being an insolent fvck and once through a "restructuring". Never fun especialy in times like these. If I can offer ANY advice it is get your unemployment paperwork done ASAP and get your job search started with a bang. The longer you are unemployed, the harder it is to find work.

I see you mentioned the FDA. I work in the pharma industry, and would be happy to help if I can. Feel free to PM me.
