Capitalism and Work: Reluctant

Reluctant

By bruised - 15/08/2015 15:47 - United States - Jacksonville Beach

Today, I had to fire an employee due to his staggering incompetence. The moment I said the F-word, he started fake-coughing, then loudly humming, then went to his desk and pretended not to hear anything I was saying. It took 3 of us to drag him out of the building kicking and screaming. FML

Today, I had to call a coworker to the office via the store intercom. The damn thing didn't turn off properly and everyone heard me say, "I hate that asshole. Just be where your dumb ass should be." I realized my mistake a few seconds before my manager stormed in and threatened to fire me. FML

Today, my boss forced me to come into work despite having a bad cold. While waiting a table, I violently sneezed and sprayed a child's face with snot. His dad got so pissed that my boss had to pretend to fire me just to calm him down. FML

Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML

Today, I went to deliver some reports to my boss in his office. He was facing away from me and ranting about his "useless employees", so I slipped in and waited for him to put the phone down. Turns out he was talking to himself. When he noticed me, he bitched me out and threatened to fire me. FML

Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML

Customer relationships

Today, I assisted a customer at work. She was asking me all sorts of stupid questions and acting like an entitled, spoiled brat. When she left, since I had a mask on, I meant to mouth, "Stupid bitch" but I blurted it out loud. Everyone heard. I was fired. FML

Took me longer than it should have to realize the "f" word was "fired".

This is why I don't want a management position later in life.

I see a law suit coming you aren't allowed to physically force him out. You need to call the police.

I think that if someone is trespassing on your property, you have EVERY right to force them out. And if you don't, you should.

its a wonder that you didn't get sued . its best to have a security guard or the police remove them and not touch them your self people love to sue for the stupidest things these days so its best to play it safe.

YDI for not letting him work. You don't want others to be happy.

Working in Security, outside of a hospital position, we're never supposed to even touch another person. Emergency situations maybe.. but generally speaking we don't..EVER!! We simply call the police and let them know the person is trespassing and let them take over and handle the situation. As a manager you should've known better than to freaking drag the person out yourself because guess what, if he's smart enough (Maybe he's not), he will sue the shit out of you and you deserve it. This is two years too late so I hope everything worked out..
