I think I lost my job

do you work at the Gap, I am sure Old Navy will hire you

I’d go in if I were you. Good luck!

Go in. But be prepared. It's one of the worst things to go through. You'll be in a state of shock. Like somebody you love dearly has just died.

Just show up and see what happens. It worked for George Costanza.

I hope so @R1 I might have to find a fast food job I might just do that @R2 I don’t know why they would fire me. I was always early and worked late.

Are you sure that maybe there hasn't been some sort of technical problem that has prevented your manager from sending the schedule? If they were going to dismiss you, it wouldn't make much sense to keep stringing you along, when a simple message stating 'we need to talk on Monday' would be clear enough. Anything other than that would be extremely unprofessional.

Nonetheless, please allow me to wish you the best. I hope that everything is a silly mix up and tomorrow you will write saying that you've gotten wonderful news. Good luck!

Maybe your supervisor is having a hard time and has fallen behind on work tasks. It may not have anything to do with you. Have you done anything lately to warrant termination? It's odd that you don't receive your schedule and immediately assume termination. Bottom line - Go to work tomorrow. In fact, arrive a few minutes early. Failing to show up will confirm you’re a lousy employee. Good luck!

Well, on the bright side, everyone is hiring right now, OP. You probably won't have to do fast food. I worked at Old Navy for awhile years ago. It wasn't that bad. There are always one or two hilarious coworkers in retail who almost redeem the assholes.

I had a roommate in a similar situation, thankfully he went in to work the next day, because he wasn't the one that was fired but the supervisor.

My be your supervisor was fired.

You are likely overreacting. But always be prepared for this, it can happen to anyone at anytime. Happened to me twice and yes it's traumatic, even when you're expecting it (in one instance I worked for an ogre who despised me so it shouldn't have been a surprise, but I still felt as though I had been viciously slapped).

If it does happen, you WILL find something else and likely something better, especially now when employers are falling over each other to hire people. It's a job seeker's market. You WILL land on your feet.

This is a great job market to find a job in, everyone is hiring.

OP, businesses are scrambling to find and keep workers, I doubt they would be firing you in this climate.

let us know!!

I guess bookings must be down at the whorehouse where you work.

Go into work at your normally scheduled time. It will show initiative and responsibility for your job. If they can use you--well, you'll already be there. If they cannot use you, well, you'll already be there and can pick up your schedule then--and then you can go home and come back when you're scheduled.

If your boss wants to fire you, then he'll have to confront you and speak with you right then.

If your boss is not there when you show up, stay and go about working as if you had been scheduled. It will show initiative and responsibility for your job.

Have you checked your Spam folder?

I don’t charge for that. @R15 Thanks for all the advice. I feel better now.

Op, I hope everything turns out ok and you have your schedule in your email when you get up tomorrow. But, think about this - Around 5 years ago I sent a friend of mine who was struggling working in a restaurant a listing for an entry level position. The requirements were minimal. It was for the call center for a big corporation. Bottom of the ladder, but she was making more than at the restaurant and she got benefits. She rose up in the company to become a district manager and recently got a promotion to the IT dept. in a tech. position. She's making over $70,000 plus bonuses now and she'll easily make over $100,000 in a few years.

Keep your eyes open. Now is the time to look for those entry level positions and have some job security.

OP, I doubt you have been fired in this labor market but if you have been, it's the best time ever to be fired- look at it as an opportunity.

Also, if this is how they treat you in general but especially in the aforementioned labor market, man, find another job. Seriously, respect yourself even if they don't!

Most likely what has been suggested: boss hasn't made the schedule yet or there's some technical issue.

You sound hysterical. Go take a benadryl, lunatic.

Because he has allergies?

Surely there’s another bodega (or ten) not too far away.

R23 She

Please update when you can. I'll be keeping good thoughts for you.

Good luck, Bodega Cat. If you get fired, it will suck emotionally. But the job market is wide open. You’ll get a better job quickly.

I’ve been terminated twice. The first time I got defensive and reacted badly. It didn’t go well at all and HR made things very difficult for me. The second time I smiled and told them I understood and respected their decision and they ended up increasing my severance. Take the high road.

Probably not you, so go to work as normal, but take a loaded AR-15 with you just in case.

The suspense is killing me.

OP, if this post is any indication of how you respond under pressure, I would fire you too.

We should have an opening soon!

OP, get the fuck back here and tell us what happened.

I hope you wore pearls to clutch when they canned you.

Lol R15.

You’re one of my favs here Bodega. I hope it all turned out well for you.

Op, do you work in a Bodega?

I/10.

Bodega-Cat is a woman?

Anyway, how did it go? Hope you’re still employed and all is well.

I hope he brought his emotional support clown.

Did you get fired?

I wasn’t fired! I went to work and they gave me more hours. He thought it sent to me. I am not a fucking woman.

Rofl at you BodegaCat.

I, along with many others here, always thought you were female!!

Not sure why.

Maybe it's the name.

Thank you @R36

That’s upsetting but understandable @R43

Good to hear.

I can breathe now, Miss Bodega Cat.

Thanks for the update. I can sleep now…

Happy for you, Bodega Cat!

Go fuck yourself @R47 Thank you @R48

Thank you @R49 I really need this job

1) unless they actually notify you that you're terminated, keep going to work.

2) if this is the way they communicate with employees (by NOT communicating with them), you should start looking for someplace that handles things more professionally.

Bodega-cat I’m glad you weren’t fired. I’m sure it was huge relief that your manager is just a dumbass fuckup.

That mother fucker

Bodega-Cat, I never thought you were a woman. That’s why I was confused by the comment at R25. Glad you’re still employed and getting more hours.

I always thought you were a cat.

Glad nothing happened. Like others have said with this job market, it’ll take a hell of a lot to get fired.

Plus, I thought this was how bodega cat looked.

I always thought Bodega cat was a man. Who knew he was actually a pussy!

Great news Bodega Cat!

If you’re keeping track, I never thought you were a woman either.

I thought you were one of these guys.

I always thought this was Bodega Cat

For one whole year there were rumors my company was going to layoff a good chunk of the workforce. And one day while driving into the office I had the worst feeling that that was the day. I was right. Because the first time I had driven to my first interview with the company, I knew I was going to get the job. Intuitions.

Maybe Bodega Tom Cat is the way to go!

And I think you're UNDERREACTING, R11!

Wtf?!?

What do you do, Bodega Cat, that you don't have a set schedule? Inquiring minds want to know.

[quote]I am not a fucking woman.

It's because you're one of the anti-trans trolls, that's why people think you're a woman. Also, you're a hysteric.

Are you related to Doja Cat?

I always figured you were a guy, but I liked imagining you working at a bodega and DL’ing during your shift.

OP is an independent woman now and needs to live off the trust. It’s very important this is done in a sustainable manner or WORK will be necessary.

Great news Cat! I hope he realises his oversight caused you some anxiety and needless grief.

I work with customers @R67 I am hysterical but I’m not an anti-trans @R68 Oh that’s cute@R70

She may not be a lady, but she's all woman

I assumed bodega cat was a 🐈‍⬛ living in a Dominican owned bodega in the Bronx.

You learn something new every day on the DL.

OP, good news, you kept your job Bad news, you are an adult working in a low paying shift job.

Quit being such a snob R76.

I mean the poster is right to an extent r77. Any job where you are still waiting on someone to schedule you hours is not a job where it is *that* big of deal if you lost it.

Just stay home and edge all day.

When rent etc is due, I will be distressed that I lost my shitty no-brainer job, R78.

A lot of people make mad money with onlyfans and just4fans. Show off your cock and feet and make 20k a month

R77 New to DL?

I never thought Bodega cat was a woman. But my gaydar is to gaydar what Russian civil airliners in the 1950s were to wanting to continue your life.

Glad to hear you’re still employed!

Are you man or woman?

Are you kind of a drama queen? Do you go through this kind of suspenseful situation often, where you're about to be a victim of some horrible thing that never materializes?
