Got fired today :(

So I get to work today, walk in and before I get to my desk my 24 year old manager says he needs to see me. I walk in his office where tells me to shut the door. He motions for me to sit and says, "I guess you know why you're in here." My response, "no clue actually."

 

He was completely vague as he cited "service issues" but can't point to a single specific instance where I failed to do my job. Just last week we were talking about adding to my responsibilities and increasing my more. The Operations Manager and I just had a conversation recently where I was complimented on how well I was doing. Now I'm fired?

 

What the hell? So now I have no job, no explanation and no clue as to what just happened. I was completely blindsided and I'm still shocked - numb even.

 

So, anyone no of any job openings in the northern end of Charlotte up to Salisbury? No degree and I can't do any lifting or any standing for long periods of time, but other than that I'm open to about anything. My hope is to find something where I can help others, unlike my last job.

 

Any help is appreciates, as are prayers. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that.

 

Unfortunately in a Right to Work State they can just send you packing. Could be political. Could be the owner wants to buy a second yacht and your salary prevented that. Who knows.

 

If they didn't document anything and you didn't sign anything on the way out, you can look into a wrongful termination suit, but for at will states, that can be tougher to do. I'd definitely sign up for unemployment to keep a check coming in while you hunt.

The terminal I worked at was having some issues due to safety problems so there was an escalated cost there, but the company as a whole is worth a load of money. I worked for Eagle Transport Corp, a petroleum transport company and it's a very lucrative industry. I made next to nothing.

 

I agree there are other factors, I'd just like to know what they are.

They laid off 20 people at my company the same day the CEO sent a company wide e-mail proclaiming how much profit we made. 

 

Unless you get the right person in the company drunk, you'll probably never know. If you apply for unemployment and they fight it, they'll have to bring things to the call showing why they did what they did. Most likely they won't fight it though.

damn.

 

have you considered trying to use the time to get into some sort of tech school or college, even if it's just an associates degree in something? having graduated college at any level would be a huge step up for your resume and marketability.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
