Today, I got fired after three days at my new job. They told me it was because of downsizing. They were still interviewing people and had a help wanted sign in the window. FML
secretninja64 tells us more.
Hey guys, OP here. Thank you to all of those who are telling me that I can do better and that they don't need me. The job was at Taco Johns so I wasn't all too devastated to be fired. I would have liked them to tell me the real reason they fired me or come to me and tell me what I was doing wrong so I could have a chance to fix it before they fired me but sadly they were not mature enough to do that. The main manager at the store really didn't like me for some reason unknown to me so I'm guessing that's why she fired me. Unfortunately I do live in a state where they do not need a reason to fire someone. Needless to say I will be finding another job. Who knows, maybe I'll go work at Taco Bell, haha. Thanks again.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Don't worry OP, at least you won't waste any more of your time in a place as shady as that and can start looking for a better job.

I'm trying to write a joke about an unemployed person but it needs more work

Maybe those lying bastards found a better ninja to do their dirty work.

Screw them then! Another job will hire you and be grateful for you!

I would reapply

#16 but they knew who OP they have her name and her information I think they would remember that they just hired and fired her so I don't think they would actually call her for an interview and if by some chance they did when she walks in they will recognize her.

You were probably not good enough...

If they're hiring for different positions, apply for those and see what they say.

Damn sorry to hear. Any company like that doesn't your skills and talents. I hope you get something better.

If you are an awful employee, they should do you the courtesy of explaining your faults so as you can learn from them.

It's kind of a catch 22, I think. I read that companies are scared to tell candidates why they didn't get the the job because they are afraid of being sued. In turn, they usually end up hiring someone that, while talented, is not a perfect fit for the job. And what's worse, those people that get passed over never know exactly what made HR pass them over. So they, in turn, end up doing the same things on the next resume, cover letter, interview...all to be passed over again because someone is too scared of lawyers. I know this sucks balls right now but because you got hired somewhere there is a chance you'll get hired somewhere else.

Taco Johns is my life!!! but they were still wrong to fire you.

How do you know he was fired wrongly? Sure, they didn't give him a straightforward or honest reason, but in a "at will employment" state, you don't need to, so long it isn't based on any sort of discrimination. It is unfortunate they didn't tell him the real reason, as the OP appears to want to better themselves, and not being told what they were doing/what they did wrong doesn't help a person grow

OMG Taco Johns! I haven't been there since 2007! Mostly cause I moved back to the land of Tex Mex... West Mex is weird.

That sucks OP, good luck finding a new job. Too bad your manager acted like a spoilt 3 year old, but oh well, some people just can't be helped.

Maybe they didn't originally realize that you're a cat!

If the manager was a she then there could br many reasons. Hope you find a better job, one that's not so rude.

@59 What does the manager being a woman have to do with anything?

61 - you're joking, right? Women don't fire people from jobs just because they're on their period.

In my state employers can fire anyone without reason within the first 90 days. Idk if it's the same for you though.
