Send text. Shirts are here you come pick them up, I don’t work for you anymore.
If you have to drop off the shirts then no trip was saved. Ask for gas money.
id email back “learning things well*”
Everybody taking OPs side because this is Reddit, but do you have any idea how genuinely awful you have to be to be fired from an entry level / retail job like this?
It’s considerate they didn’t make you go all the way in just to fire you and send you right back home.
It sucks, but it also sounds like you need to pay more attention to detail. If you’re always making mistakes, that makes your coworker’s jobs harder and it fucks with everyone who needs your services.
At the end of the day, you aren’t entitled to a job if you aren’t doing it well. Reddit will tell you any boss is a villain for firing anyone; but then redditors also complain when a business they are using fucks up, or when their coworkers suck and still just keep their jobs.
Based on your post history, you gotta get your shit together my dude. Time to adult up, focus, put effort into your work, and quit fucking around so much and blowing money. If you put off gratification and don’t impulse buy shit, you can save EVERYTHING and get your own place, be your own man. Literally don’t spend money on anything you don’t NEED to survive. Yeah, it sucks short term, but long term it is SO much better to have money in the bank, your own place, and security. That’s what maturing and growing up is about – learning self discipline and control.
You all are automatically siding with this person but they might have sucked at their job
They were being nice as nice about it as they could. They didn’t just wake up today and decide to do this. There’s never a good time for terminating an employee.
They didn’t want to do it soon before or on Christmas. That would just ruin the holiday. So they waited until after, so there wouldn’t just be this shitty black cloud over your Christmas, and they saved you a trip back and forth.
Sounds like you weren’t paying attention to your job bud. Those don’t sound like difficult tasks in the slightest
I mean, sounds like you sucked at your job lol
Timing sucks but otherwise this is a perfectly fine message
Sounds like you sucked and they couldn’t take it anymore dude
I mean, how bad were you?
bro be for real that’s the reddit font
Learning things well*
“thought I’d save you the trip… Please drop off your shirts”
I think the only reasonable thing to do is hang around outside the business telling people to go fuck themselves wearing the company uniform.
edit: yoooo, thanks for the awards fellow redditors!
Unfortunate timing, but they gave you feedback and told you before you wasted a drive and time
Sounds like you sucked at the job op lol
You can reframe this is a positive since it doesn’t seem it was a good fit for you and now you’ll get unemployment
Reddit grammar police aside I find this text respectful and informative
Timing is ‘bad’ due to Christmas proximity, but it was AFTER Christmas and gives the holiday slow period to get resume ready and start looking
Well, are they right?
Everyone is acting like the employer did something terrible by giving an opportunity to OP and regretting it. They waited until after Christmas to not ruin the holidays.
Fuk man reddit is so toxic against work and relationships.
You all are sore losers for saying “name and shame” or “abuse people wearing their shirt”. Either these commenters are freeloaders ,living on someone else’s money (parents/friends/relatives) or maybe mentally unstable.
The text tone is completely fine, in fact far better than most firings, they even gave the reason and a proper feedback. This is, in fact, one of the nicest ways to fire someone.
At least you learn good. 😉
You were learning things good? Where you employed at The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to Learn to do Other Stuff too?
I feel you man. My position got terminated the day after my birthday this year. Things will get better.
Apparently the people that don’t think this saves a trip, keep all their work clothes in their vehicle when they travel to work instead of at home.
Yall probably wouldn’t last long at his job either… lmao
How the hell you go get fired on your day off
“you were learning things good”
