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.

      Quick Posting / Embedding Tip

      By jfra78 · Posted

      When Twitter first changed to X I was able to get it to embed with various tricks. When those stopped working, I stopped trying and don't really blame anyone now for posting links and not embedding.  I'm not going to download a new browser just to be able to embed on this forum.  Hopefully Igo was serious when he said he was going to fix it.

      100% fact. people forget Stern was a NYer.  Theres been what 10 picks since that were gifted to teams? Even Lecommie said he believe the lotto was rigged when the Cavs just happened to get the #1 pick for the local hero. They also got the #1 Kyrie Evring when Lecommie leftd for miami. I bet that's when he started the Diddy parties too... Zion Timmy Duncan  AD Rose to bulls Victor Wembanyama Cleveland got 2 more #1 overall AFTER Erving fixing the lebron BS.  Yao Ming got to pick his sity... That's all that I remember, even one is total joke, https://www.si.com/nba/bill-simmons-accurately-predicted-mavericks-would-win-nba-lottery-back-in-march   Just more or less WWE, but at least WWE refs are not criminals. Players bet and shaved points, Im 100% sure of, especially if Michael Jordan did for years.... I am shocked I lasted until Larry brown with the bobcats before I quit being a fan. Any NBA new I see is not by my will/want to follow.  Total joke, I hate the government more than NBA, but they should expose the fraud that league is so it can dissolves and a new better league can start. Maybe then the players will play in all the games like years ago......I mean LOLLOLOLOL you can not play back-2-back games when a breath of air is a fool?? Total joke, I hope the whole league folds. frauds!! I can not respect any owner that allows this.
