i had, what you may call, a parting of the ways with my graphic design job with this company i've been with for a couple of years now...
I say parting of the ways rather than fired because for two hours I was allowed the luxury of defending myself...
they had two points against me, my coming to work late which stemmed from my hours being cut at the very last minute every single week...i'd be schedule mwf, on to get a call on monday saying they were busy doing something else so my hours that day were bust...and then a call weds being that instead of coming in at 10 in the morning I was now coming in at 2pm...
the other was my web surfing....for other work ...
true, not a good use of company time...
but when you are only brining in a hundred dollars in a two week pay period, and you have 10,000 in school loans to pay back, you tend to get distracted...
the rest of their reasons for them no being happy with me were all bullshit...
that I wasn't bringing enough to the company...
before me they hadn't the foggiest idea what Flash was, let alone able to use it...
they were working on photoshop friggen 6.0!!! they had no website until I brought it to their attention that it would be a good idea, and they didn't start working on it until I announce and showed them mine...
they said their were going 100 miles an hour and that I became their flat tire...
they had the gaul to call me a fucking flat tire!!!!
i'm still shaking with how pissed off I am....
the fact that i've only used two explitives is incredible....
they accused me of stealing their work for my own personal gain...
I simply did what the big boss man said I could when I took the job...and I never claimed to do any work I couldn't....
He remembered this...
but tried to scare me by saying the clients i put on my site could find the links offensive and sue me...how!? it's my fucking work on their sites!
so i reworded the links on my site specifying exactly what I did for them, changed my about me page to state that the work done was through them yadi yada
they had no right though to say I never brought anything to the table...
this is how it is now...
then fuck them

I'm sorry to hear about that. What Fuckers! It sounds like you did bring alot, they just don't want to admit it. They just use you and spit you out. I'm sure you'll find something much better, somewhere that will appreciate you and treat you well. Don't worry!

Ya know, a cool ass member from SG got me started into meditating. Oh my does it help. Have you been trying? I've been in a situation kinda like yours before. I can understand how you must feel, but trust me you are better off somewhere else where you will be happy!
