I think I was just fired

(67 posts)
  1. Lots of people have posted to these boards for purrs and white light etc. Well, now it's my turn.

    Today in the morning I got into an exchange of words with my manager and was told to go home. I wasn't told I was fired, but I was told they would call me if they wanted me to come back.

    Now, while I appreciate any sympathy you can send my way, what I need is a better job, even if I'm not fired. I need one where I can work from home if possible, or if not, then I can at least not have to get up at 6 in the morning just to go someplace and deal with stupidity, both form coworkers and customers.

    For six years I have effectively been this company's data entry department. Can they survive without me? Yes. Can they do nearly as well? No. Can I survive without them? Sure. But if I can avoid having to wash dishes for a living, especially in this economy, it would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  14. Arcalian, there is a reason for everything that happens - we just don't know the reason! Good things will happen for you! The last time I was arguing with a supervisor while on a painting job, someone from another trade told my boss to fire me - this was said right in front of me - the boss and I both started laughing! The boss was (and still is) my husband! I was a co-owner of our own company and he couldn't fire me without really hurting himself! Prayers being said and believed in - Good things will happen!

  22. Sorry for the blowup at work today, Arcalian. Do you want to return to this job if you aren't actually fired? Sounds like this is an opportunity to evaluate whether or not you really want to stay. I hope you find a better situation quickly if you can't or don't want to continue in your current job. I will send positive thoughts for a great outcome for you! {{hugs}}

  30. Arcalian,

    Out of the blue I received an email from a friend from church with this information on freelancing from home...odd, since she knows that I am a Realtor (since I listed her house) and that I have another job?

    There are no accidents.

    (She is a freelance writer and editor, and heard about this site on Clark Howard's website.)
