Curse of the Avatar

#1

Post by Lost Ghost »

We all know about the sportscenter curse.....

what about the curse of the avatar.....today, shortly after the new av I got.......I was fired from my job.


The details reflect favoritism upon the oppsite side...and really demonstrate my wrongful termination.

Maybe things happen for a reason, because my friend works at Walmart...and I can hopefully get a cashier's job for almost a dollar more an hour than my shift supervisor position at subway.....and plus, the only reason I didnt already quit that crappy job, was because I loved the people, but once this new manager came in...she started hiring all these crappy people....so it was going down the tubes there anyway.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your job. But it's been my experience that there's something out there that's even better. It's good that you have an "in" with Walmart. I hope your friend can help you get in there.

Good luck!

dang...lost your job huh? I don't know about a curse though...I haven't had Maria Sharapova put a restraining order on me yet.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that....how can they afford to pay sooo many employees all more than minimum wage? They I remember they're one of the wealthiest retail corporations in the world.


The fact of the matter is...subway had 4 main compotents.....dishes...cleaning....making sandwichs....register/customer interaction


I was good at all...but my favorite part of the job was the register/customer interaction......so now if I get this job at Wal-Mart (which I'm going to go fill out an application with my friend today in less than an hour) it's completely eliminating the other 3...crappier parts of the job...and paying me almost a dollar more an hour.......what kind of deal is that man ?

Damn, I...Thought you just got a promotion...

And only cause I love you so much, that I can beam that this comes right behind the tail end of our "getting fired unrightfully" conversation in the sports section...Nothing can compare to life's lessons, I promise you...Be careful what you take from this isn't the wrong thing...

Plus, Wal-Mart is great anyway...Excellent way to network, and be a familiar face...

I thought you loved us all..?!

Yeah, I thought you also said you got a promotion.. oh well, I guess Wal-Mart is just another one.. LoL, let's just hope your application get's accepted..
And as AYHJA said, I'm pretty sure there's a lesson to be learned here, I just dunno what it is..

I did get a promotion from the owner......but its the manager who had a grudge with me because I was the only employee who was willing to tell her to get off her ass and do the work like the rest of us..and also because i graded the notes she used to post to us because they always were FILLED with spelling errors....


so maybe I had it coming...


but the ACTUAL reason I got fired was bullshit...and the owner is looking into it now and is gonna call me tomorrow
