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.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....

      You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
