Work: Review

Review

By crub - 05/03/2009 15:10 - United States

Today, I had my quarterly review with my supervisor at the warehouse I work at. He told me I was doing great and we discussed my raise. After I left his office, his supervisor told me I was being fired for my attendance. The last time I missed work was to attend a funeral. Five months ago. FML

Today, I was told I was being fired from my job after "5 months for poor performance." I helped lead my team to the highest possible success they’ve had the last 4 years. FML

Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Today, I had my six month employee review. My manager said that my attendance was good, and I was exceeding my targets performance wise. My reward, a five cent per hour pay cut. Apparently the rate at which I started is too high to meet their current pay scale. FML

Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML

Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML

Today, the manager that hired me and worked for years to inspire and connect her staff was laid to rest. Hours before the funeral, her replacement told me he wanted my 2 weeks notice on his desk tonight. I've been a model employee, he just doesn't like me. FML

Today, I was working when I delivered the standard "Hello, how are you?" to a customer. He took the opportunity to tell me about his deceased wife, his estranged children, and his anal tearing. After a while, I tried to help someone else, and he complained to my manager. I was written up. FML

Today, at work one of my co-worker was oddly nice to me; and my boss, who usually always says hi to me, didn't look or speak to me. Later that day I found out that I was going to be fired, not because my boss told me but because my picture was missing from the wall of employees. FML

wtf i just got laid off.... i think they needed an excuse to fire you, not lay you off so they would have to actually pay you severance or unemployment...why else would they fire you for something lame as that

So your supervisor praised you at your review, then a few minutes (hours?) later said you were fired, eh? Yeah, this is believable. Next!

Um... It clearly states "HIS" supervisor.

i feel like if you explained yourself they wouldn't be able to come up with an adequate excuse. if you actually ended up being fired you could sue for wrongful termination because if you were doing well enough to be offered a raise, at least someone liked the work you were doing. thats just weird.

Ploy to lay you off without paying severance or unemployment. Lawyer up. #4 fired by his supervisor's supervisor.

Well, that's terrible. I suggest trying to get a job with a supervisor that has a heart.

you can definitely get unemployment but they will probably make something up about you being late. alot of companies are disputing unemployment claims because they dont want to pay there part . be prepared to defend yourself

I am a paralegal and I have seen cases like this before, this is definitely wrongful termination. An attorney will take your case on what's called contingency fee basis, which means you don't pay a dime until you settle or win $$. I'm telling you, you have a great case - I would look into it I think it would be worth your time especially in this economy. They may give you your job back or you could stand to win a shitton of money!!
