sorry you got canned, man....honestly, sounds like a pretty shitty place to work if they have that much turnover anyway, though...

I don't think so, they considered me a good employee. I had won the sales competition the last three weekends. And had just receive a 50 dollar bonus. The only issue I had with them was the time I was late before.

That sucks. Just don't be late at your next job. Dependability is one of the best traits a supervisor will ever find in a worker.

If you were one of their best sales people then they are really stupid to fire you. Go to work for a competitor and take your clients with you. Make them regret it!

They bragged on me for being dependable, that the funny part. No offense to women, but it is owned by one and she's pretty fricking dumb and very emotional. She inherited the business and never works there, just has employees that know how to run it.

Sounds like a restaurant. Those places are run by retard college dropouts. I wouldn't read too much into this.

sounds like an excuse to fire you for poor performance.

If you make yourself irreplaceable, they won't fire you no matter what you do. It's nice to have that kind of leverage. I would work towards that going forward.

Good luck.

You can borrow my AR-15 and take revenge American style if you would like. Seriously, sounds like a super shitty place to work. Name them and tell us all the dirty secrets.

Service industry?

Jobs open everywhere and experience guarantees you a job. Just go elsewhere

I'd advise something local. Chains can be killer.
