Bad News...got....

fired today about 40 minutes ago. I worked as an Investigative Analyst investigating credit card fraud. Kinda sucks ass. You wanna know what they got me for?

"Excessive Internet Use: Non-Work related" (Thanks to you farkers. :lol:) Kinda funny since we have "full" access to internet as we investigate people etc...Everybody uses the internet and are lazy as ****..I was told that my production was not an issue as it was great. No second chances on this **** obviously. Hell we have a drunk in the dept and they help put her in rehab and let her comeback and they fire my ass? lol Thats just my luck.

They had obviously gotten with the IT dept and pulled my logs (**** proxy servers) and there it was in black and white....

steroid.com
sherdog.com
bla bla bla

So they said your are samarily dismissed. I guess i am off to to start the job hunting again come Monday...i was getting tuition reimbursement through them as well and the US Bank policy is if you are terminated or quit before a year is up after your last reimbursement you have to pay it back. :eek:

But i was told they would waive that. :banana:

Thought i would let you bros know that it is this sites fault for being so **** good and full of knowledge that it cost me my job of 2 years.

Sorry to hear that bro :(

Well at least now youve got some time to browse some more and postwhore ;)

Ouch, that sucks, well good luck job hunting.

Same exact thing happened to me @ McGraw-Hill 3+ years ago.

BEST THING that's happened to me, ever! :D

Sounds weird, but something positive WILL come out of this eventually.

Best of luck brutha!

~SC~

That really blows bro! Sorry to hear u got **** canned.

OG

Sorry to hear that, but you should have been wary of visiting a site that is linked to an illegal drug that is looked down upon by society. I wonder if they would have fired you if you were excessively visiting cnn.com or foxnews.com Might have been because youre vistiing sites linked to illegal products.

same thing happened to me 3 years ago...
things worked out for the best for me so
stay positive **** will work out bro...

ya... really sucks they changed the name here to steriod.com

Sheit im on a Gov. computer right now posting.. wont be long till i get crap-canned. :D

that's what I do :D so far, so good

I do not think it had anything to do with "illegal substance" sites.

Justa good excuse for them i guess?

Gonna start looking for job, reality has not set in yet, i am sure it will in the morning when i realise i am not going to work (actually had the day off anyway).

They usually **** can you on Fridays as statistics have shown there is less chance of an altercation if you fire someone on a Friday. It just so happened this was my last day of the week.

And on top of that, tommorow is my Birthday...lol just my luck...there went those plans..

dam bro that sucks ...keep ya head up

Dont worry you will be in a better position and be grateful that it happened!!!!

I am currently working at a Health club...im here right now....but I make sure I clear out history and cookies and what not, Im sure they could figure out I've gone here still, but they are to lazy to do that...

You are one lucky guy (J/K)... sorry to hear about that.... i've been trying to get fired , but so far nothing... actually i'm at work right now, and i hope they fire me after this... i'm looking for the severance pay, that's why i have not quit yet
14 years with the same company, and i get a month severance pay for each year with the company, IF i get dismessed/fired

urgh that sucks, surely if you were doing the work, using the net for othr stuff shouldnt have been any problem:|

that sucks, good luck with job hunting

Bro the same exact thing happened to me... They can't prove what
you were doing online viewing a site like steroids.com, but they do
know if you were there's a chance that you use them and that is
illegal and almost all companies now have a policy where you cannot
use a company computer to view any sites that are not business
related, so right there they had a valid and legal reason to terminate
your employment...

I know it sucks cus it happened to me and the job was a good job,
but they started to get very firm about this policy and i was one of
two people that got made an example of for it the first time around...
They later fired another 8-10 people for it in the year that followed...

That sucks bro.

At school we used to use a portal, cant remember the address now. Basically its a site that you go onto, enter in a URL and it redirects u to the site, BUT whilst still staying on the portal. SO the only site that the proxies etc, logs etc will see is the portal.

:D

Well guys...thanks for all the kind words....i had a pretty good birthday regardless...had two beers.

Going to search tommorow for a new job...will keep you guys updated.

I won't be on that much (not like you would miss me anyway) but i will be back ponce all this crap has been settled.


TFG: You know i still love you babe. Do you still love me even though i don't work? Thanks for "cheerig up the Ninja" :wg:

sucks bro. Good luck on the work-rebound.

oh shiit! i hope i dont get caught. my boss already asked if i was doing roids.. i was like um no? i dont like needles hahahaha.

I'm starting to get worried about the same thing.
