Retired but never fired.

 

Funny stuff, CWB!

I worked at a hardware store in high school and early college. The store owner (who was never actually at the store) had a daughter my age. The daughter was a cheerleader at a rival high school, and had quite the.....ummm....."reputation". Not only did she have a reputation that preceded her, but she also had quite the spoiled-little-rich-girl attitude to go along with it.

 

Anyway, after I'd been working at the store for a few years, the owner gave the daughter a summer position at the store, and surprise-surprise, we were stuck on virtually identical work schedules. Well after a month or so of dealing with my new and extraordinarily obnoxious co-worker, I decided to play a little joke. I happened to know a useful little shortcut for programming items into the computer, wherein you could fix it so when you type in a specific word, a desired item would ring up without having to pick up and scan the barcode on that item This was very useful for large items and items things like mulch, topsoil, and bales of straw that weren't regularly stored indoors. So for example: We'd type in "top50" and it would ring up a 50lb bag of topsoil, "playsand" would ring up a bag of sanitized playsand, etc. etc.

 

Well I fixed it so if you typed in the daughter's name, the computer system would bring up this product.

 

So long story short, dad came across my little shortcut, and for some reason or another, I suddenly was no longer selling hardware :idunno:

 

 

:lol::lol::lol:

My girlfriend's dad got me a job. He was an Union rep and very high up. The Company officers (my Boss) hated him. I worked 59 days of probation and the boss fired me on the last day before I entered the Union..My production level was very high, and I was surprised I was let go. I was eighteen and didn't under the politics of life.

 

It was for the best, I would haved been on 2nd shift and would miss playing softball. Got on the railroad and never missed a game in 30 years.

My first job was at the Lakeside Kroger in NKY. I called in "sick" one night and was seen by one of my managers at Taco Bell stuffing down crunch wrap supremes a little after the call in. It's as if a "sick" person is incapable of eating terrible Mexican food.

I worked for a trucking company as a payroll clerk in 1985. I was pregnant with my daughter and having terrible difficulty with the pregnancy, including severe anemia. I got fired for falling asleep while typing the payroll checks. :lol:

ZZZZZZZZZ, hey I slept on the job many times. Even when I drove a train. :jump:

CWB you are not right, but it was funny

ZZZZZZZZZ, hey I slept on the job many times. Even when I drove a train. :jump:

 

Now THAT's a comforting thought. :eek: :lol:

I have a few times here and there, and in most cases, it's been the cryptic "We're going in a different direction."

 

OH, my company went in a different direction alright.

Sounds like you deserved it.

The way this started I thought it was headed down the path of you being terminated for sampling the inventory if you will.:lol:

Not nearly as bad as my friends dad that said "before there were 5 hour energy drinks and all of that bull crap we all just did speed, that stuff will get ya goin" He was a truck driver, and now every time I get by a semi at 2 am I'm literally cursing under my breathe that the guy next to me better not on crank and if he is......

For taking a trip on summer vacation, they fired me when I asked for the days off.
