antipod,
There was an issue of favoritism going on in the warehouse and i had brought it to my bosses attention on a handful of occassions but nothing was resolved. It was between him and two other girls who were moving up in the wrong way. They could get away with murder and management wouldn't say anything. i decided to go to the higher ups, i was actually cool with them, and they offered little help. So me, being tired of hearing the same complaints from every employee, attempted to bring the issue up to my boss yet again. Well he wasn't having it and i believe he had found out that i went above his authority as well. While comfronting him for the countless time he said towards the end of the conversation, "If you don't like it then quit." So i knew it was only a matter of time, i just didn't think it would be so soon. i continued working, as i always did, and he came up to me about an hour later (after pulling his strings i suppose) and told me the bad news.
It's sad the way things ended really. i must admit, i was completely humble to him and the job all the way....except at the end. i went off on him, i lost it. Yelling beyond believe, insulting and degrading his management skill...or lack there of. He recently got served with devorce papers by his wife of 32 years and i had, at one point in the arguement, said that, "This is why your wife is leaving you!" Not pretty, needless to say. i attempted to talk to the account to see what i can do but all he did was hand me my last check. The owners barely even knew my name, and the next day when i went back to talk to a higher up i was pretty much reassured that i couldn't get my position back. The higher up told me, "How can i try to look out for others/the warehouse when i can't even hold my own job?" That right there taught me a lesson. No one, no matter how high or how low, is invulnerable to the wrath of the work force and business.
That's how i got laid off. No document, reasoning, justification, or nothing stating a reason as to why i was no longer able to work for them. The good news, i can get unemployment for a while...but why would i sit around and do nothing. So i am planning on going to a school in march to become an EMT. Life hits you in funny ways that's for sure.
