tell him you were christening the store
This just shows you didn't get fired for this. He just doesn't like you and this gives him a reason to fire you.
so true
Or all of them. Pull like, an Oceans 11 on him
How would that make a difference?
I'd assume Sushi was pouring out that if OP was a girl, sleeping with her bosses wife wouldn't really be much of a payback option.
Only slash 3 tires because insurance covers all 4 slashed only.
and how do you know that? #123
Is that even a legal proper ground for firing an employee?
Yeah. Nowadays it's a right to work type of deal. You can be fired over anything.
I heard of a banker who was fired for fending off a bank robber, which was actually against company policy. Some companies require their employees to cooperate with the robber so that nobody, from the employee or employees to customers, are endangered. If an employee tries to fend off a robber, which does pose a threat to him or herself and the customers, a boss can terminate you from his or her employ. All of this is assuming that the OP isn't telling ALL the information about why he or she was terminated.
We have a poster at my work with guidelines on how to handle a robbery. One of them is 'do not use weapons.' Using a bottle of wine as a weapon is proooobably not ok for a variety of reasons. Let's not overlook the fact that OP acted in a violent matter. I'm guessing the termination was more about OP's conduct than the value of the wine.
Yea acctually it is. They can fire you if you have a tatoo they dont like or somethin little. Its all bs these days
There are rules that should only be enforced if something goes wrong. This is one example. If the individual responded that way and someone got hurt, then fire them if you're so inclined. If they responded that way and essentially saved the day they shouldn't be punished for it. Personally I find in intense situations like that there is very little thought that goes into an individuals actions, as such there really shouldn't be any repocussions for the actions that can be deemed an appropriate human response.
Maybe he was on probation?
So now that I've thought of it, number 8, what you're thinking of is an "at-will" type of employment. Right to work means that you cannot for any unlawful reason be terminated and become unemployed. If you are fired in a right to work state, there had better be solid well documented evidence. Firing without cause in a right to work state allows for the former employee to file a law suit.
I think the OP had a right to act in a violent way since it was to defend themselves while being held at knife point.
- So, why did you fire OP? - She saved my shop from being robbed :( - What? That's a good thing! - You kidding me!? She broke a $25 bottle of wine!
So ... Your boss values $25 retail over staff being injured and losing even more money. It sounds like he did you a favor - he's a huge DB!
Reading your acronym the first thing that came to mind was 'dickbutt'. Hm.
Besides...$25 for a bottle of wine is not that much...
Except that by fighting with the robber, many employers would say you're putting yourself and other employees in way more danger than by just going along with everything.
#34 i thought the acronym meant dickbutt too.
Rule #17 - Don't be a hero.
Rule #18 Don't stand by and let a robbery happen.
Pretty sure rule #18 is to limber up....
Rule #17 became be a hero
ZombieLand rules!!!!!!
50- Yeah, but I don't think there was a love interest in distress here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't rule #1 Cardio? I can't remember. Poor fat bastards.
Rule 34, of it exists...
72- Not only did you write it wrong, its completely irrelevant.
Your boss is stupid! You bad mouthing what happened and gaining sympathy from the community could easily effect his business.
seems the wine affected your spelling :(
He only spelled one thing wrong, you dumbass.
Enslaved is a madam, good sir...
Oops. But I'm a madam also, sir.
What's your point #9?
Quit your wine-ing Eh?
I've seen the wine-whine pun before.
seeing how you can scare off an armed robber with a wine bottle, you should become a security guard next.
