I think unless you outright commit slander against your company, give up some secret damn recipe or break some sort of HIPAA law that this firing bit is bullshit...but such is life I guess. Did you look back in your stats to see what phrase they used to google you or how they found you...just curious.<BR/><BR/>I tend to think that everything happens for a reason so I'm sure there is something much better waiting around the corner for you. Until then....Enjoy your time off. :o)<BR/>Dawnoveractive-imaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721472341408506210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029208.post-37437669919433718522007-02-15T10:41:00.000-06:002007-02-15T10:41:00.000-06:00In response to anonymous, yes, I would have though...In response to anonymous, yes, I would have thought that would have something to do with it. But I was told that "the fact that you mentioned the [institution of higher learning] and a parent leaves me with no choice but to let you go." Also, plenty of the people I worked with used their computers for personal purposes- selling stuff on ebay, solitaire, etc. So if that's why they fired me, they got plenty more firin' to do.buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074145361680678171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029208.post-91880619494440149392007-02-14T17:01:00.000-06:002007-02-14T17:01:00.000-06:00You don't suppose that the reaons you got fired we...You don't suppose that the reaons you got fired were because you were blogging on company time, using their equipment for your personal gain? Just a thought, considering many of your "blogs" were posted during average office hours...when most people are at work? If it couldn't have been proven that those things were done on company time, you probably would still be at that job, scrubbing coffee pots and still drinking the motor oil that is brewed in them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029208.post-50933296222415923922007-02-14T03:56:00.000-06:002007-02-14T03:56:00.000-06:00Oh, how awful for you, I was dismissed unfairly ab...Oh, how awful for you, I was dismissed unfairly about 4 years ago (someone just had it in for me). I did get paid out 6 months salary, but it still leaves a really bad taste in your mouth.

I am so sorry about your job! That's just terrible and so so so wrong. Have you thought abt applying for unemployment insurance and then when they claim they fired you for cause, arguing that it was not good cause? All the best to you.

I know you are probably trying to recoop, so I won't say too much. What assholes, though. Hey! I hate my job, maybe I should start a blog! -- can you get unemployment?? Ok, I'm sorry, I'm sure you are still very sensitive. How would you like to come over and drink beer?? Give me a call, doll. Stephanie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
