Work: Time to move on

Time to move on

By mischalucksux - 19/09/2016 13:54 - United States

Today, I finally have a job I love with amazing people I call family and a fantastic boss. I've been here 8 months, and I'm doing a great job, I feel like I could work here forever! My most recent project? Printing our "Store closing sale" signs for liquidation. We permanently close in 7 weeks. FML

Today, I got a phone call from my boss, who'd hired me after two months of waiting and begging for this position. A week into the job, the company is closing our store. 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, I found out that a co-worker has been promoted to Store Manager. She has been here for less than 6 months, and I have been with the company for 10 years. Guess who has been training her for the last 6 months. FML

"Store Closing. Can no longer afford lawsuits caused by one overly-affectionate worker going around, hugging customers, and calling them family."

I'm so sorry. I feel like for a lot of people the worst part of their routine is the "work" aspect. To have that as a large joy in your life and then soon to be taken away must feel horrible. I hope you take care and best of luck for the future, OP.

Maybe its closing because you're so cheery and the others are depressed.

Unlike the usual, this is actually sad, instead of funny.

Maybe you, your amazing coworkers and your fantastic boss can all agree to hang out with each other for free, not doing anything of commercial value. The positive energy and warm feelings will be so worth it!
