Had to fire 7 people and myself... Someone kill me.

**uponone23** · 01-02-2007, 09:36 AM

I guess I asked my question about dieting on the road too quickly. Went into the office this morning big wig called me in the office first tells me what I got to do. Then i have to tell the 7 men that I supervise that we lost our contract with the company we were working for and we are now all officially unemployed. Yay... Now I need to know how to get the right ratio of carbs and protein out of a garbage can. Yay.....

Someone please kill me.

dam that sucks not the best start for the new year

**king6** · 01-02-2007, 10:23 AM

I feel ya bro. Getting ready to start my cycel. Food costs money. I just found out that the security job I was training for just closed the shift I needed. All the time I spent driving an hour every day to the school for a week, not to mention the gas money, and taking the physical and drug testing, filling out all that stupid paper work. I hope it cost them a fvck load of money to train me, those fvcking bastards, now I'm screwed. All that time wasted. I feel like beating the shit out of someone. I was also planning on moving out, and getting my own place. Now I can't, I will never find a job that pays as much as they did. SOMEONE PLEASE SHOOT ME!!!

Even that costs money. Girls don't want to hang out with a broke jobless loser.

Should have told the big wig to fire the employees himself. If you were let go he could have atleast had the balls to fire the others.....

Setbacks in my life have always led to something better. Keep at it something will pop up.

That's the key right there. If you don't keep moving forward nothin' will happen. I know it's hard to stay positive but you just gotta' keep moving on.

When I first got out of the military in Germany I had no job and no one wanted to hire me because I couldn't speak much German. I just started my own damn company. It was hard at first but everything is finally pulling together.

**Flagg** · 01-02-2007, 03:36 PM

All i can say is WOW!! Who IS that in your avatar, Anavar Man???

**Jackal2002** · 01-02-2007, 03:43 PM

Sorry for the bad news to start out 2007! As others have said, the key is to drive on. My last place of employment (7 years worth) started going down the tubes and a co-worker and I decided to start our own company. Six years later, life is much better! As the saying goes "Success is the best revenge".

My gut feeling says the same thing...

But the practical part of me thinks that by not burning his bridges, he did the right thing.

What do you "do?" I see your location is up a "500 ft. cell tower." Exactly what do you do?

Good luck.

**cfiler** · 01-02-2007, 08:15 PM

Wow, sorry to hear. What a crappy way to start the new year.

**uponone23** · 01-02-2007, 09:45 PM

Thanks for all the support bros... Got a good prospect for a new job this afternoon... It pays close to the same doesn't have the perks (company truck, credit cards, etc..) buy hey beggars can't be choosers so to speak.

And to anwer everyone's question to why I told them... It was to get a glowing reference from my field office manager... Which turned out to be the right decision because aparantly these people are going to hire me.

OH I work for a company that errects and maintains transmission towers... (cellular, microwave, radio etc) In other words if you don't like heights... Not the job for you lol.

**spywizard** · 01-02-2007, 09:54 PM

that which does not kill you.. yada yada yada....

you know the bit..

**abstrack** · 01-02-2007, 10:06 PM

Everything happens for a reason. Just go get another job, life is just about to become better.

**uponone23** · 01-02-2007, 10:26 PM

It is a blessing that I can start concentrating on training more because the job I am in the process of getting doesn't require nearly as much travel. I didn't really need all the money I was making at my last job... I was giving myself an ulcer and high blood pressure with stress. (no serioiusly) Its hard to train when you put in a 12 - 14 hour day on the road in a city where you have no clue where anything is.

**needmorestrength** · 01-02-2007, 11:24 PM

See, you thought with your head on straight, and your going to come out above and beyond... thats "cudo's" to you!!!

I work at Cingular Wireless Corp. in Atlanta. I may be able to hook you up. I know they are looking for someone to do site mapping and RF testing. Send me PM if your interested.

**firmechicano831** · 01-03-2007, 02:42 PM

sorry to hear that man. Hopefully something better will come up for you.

**ect0m0rph** · 01-04-2007, 03:52 PM

hope something better comes along, I think you made the right decision not burning your bridges with your old boss, you never know when you'll need his reference. Good Luck
