It's done

In a Starbuck's, surrounded by people I did not know. I waited for my boss and my blackberry shut off then rebooted. All had been wiped out. It was pretty obvious.

So he arrived with the sales manager whom I never reported to and barely ever worked with. And there they were. My boss barely said a word, didn't look me in the eyes. As they told me that I was being terminated, I erased every single file on the laptop that they had provided when I started a year and a half ago. Oups.

The sales manager asked if I was ok. I started to laugh and said "Sure, I got canned in a Starbuck's and have a family to feed. I'm splendid" Apparently, this is wrongful dismissal. I'm just pissed. And petrified. I can starve and go without electricity/shelter. Not my daughter...

I went straight to an interview with a recruiter and now I must play the hungry unemployed game until something happens. I'll work overnight shifs at McDonald's if I have to. I don't care. Work is work. If it means survival, then so be it.

Someone else (No one you know, no worries) was less considerate and more worried about their own little worries and kept at me and then even got upset at my "Unresponsiveness" I'm sorry, I just got fucking fired. I have to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm sorry that I can't cater to your needs. No, omg are you ok, I'm sorry, I'm here. Just, answer me, do for me, be available to me. Thanks. I feel so damn supported.

Just remember that this is definately NOT the worst thing that has happened to you, and I for one have no doubt that you will bounce back...with a vengeance.

  3. I have to agree getting terminated at the Starbucks sucks! They have absolutely no class and no loyalty to their employees. They did you dirty girl and you didn't deserve it. I hope that really soon you will be able to find a way better job where you are truly appreciated. Best of luck and please keep us updated.
