Yeah. It so badly sucks how companies are just dispensing with experienced full time people whenever they can get away with it, to bring on part-timers whom they won't have to give health insurance. What you did to the guy must have hurt like hell but it's hard to have much sympathy for him.

Sorry to hear about this DD.  I sincerely hope things work out well for you.

I would have refused to sign and walked out probably.

Sounds like the guy you ploughed has been kissing the boss's ass in all the right places.

What an ass...I hope he heals slowly. >:D

Your a better man than me I would have never been able to sit though a meeting like that.  I am somewhat surprised they even had it considering the paranoia about workplace violence and shootings.  My son was fired last week in a management shake up and replaced by someone they had him training the last month and was going to be doing his job at 2/3 the pay he was making.  They were quick about it though just ten minutes.  He is sure they will not oppose his unemployment though  he had a flash drive full of unflattering emails and memos and could easily prove a hostile work environment  add in the fact his girlfriend is going to have a baby any day now they would surly look bad.

In this day and age of zero tolerance, it's actually surprising they're not both being dismissed.

I had a wonderful talk with someone about a situation I was uncomfortable with.  The advice helped me gain comfort and confidence.

That sucks, DD.

I hate it how nowadays companies get rid of their long-term, skilled, people, to cut back their costs. It will bite them in the ass, they lose their expertise.

I am one of three who have been there more than two years.

I think to me, the worst part of all this is that they could not do it all above board, so to speak. They had to put false testimonies against me into my write up and then expected me to sign it.

There were three outright lies written into my latest "final warning."

NOthing much I can do. I can see that the big boss is on his way out. There is no way he will survive this latest "Physical Inventory."  Last time's pi s what put HIM in final warning as well. This is why he is writing up every one in sight, on his way out, trying to grasp at straws.  He makes Too Much money as well and has been here too long, but he has let things slip due to his health being in jeopardy over the past three years.

Our store is too much in "violation"  and out inventory integrity is non-existent. Our expected "total inventory"  was over one hundred thousand in the red last time. He went on final notice. I am sure it is even worse this time around. He will not survive this year's  inventory analysis.

NOt sure I can last to his final days, either.

Actually, I am one year away from being able to access my investments with not penalty; three years away from accessing a bit more in the way of social security benefits.  I went to work at this store as a "kind of bridge"  measure to get me to the end game of my life's works.

I am within only a year of making it.

It makes me angry just to think about how they've treated you.

Actually, the company treated me quite well, up to the point where this boss saw his last days inhand and had to remove everyone with tenure and every one with higher wage and everyone with lower scores in the sales grid.

He has to save his ass!  edit : (He has young children starting in college. HE HAS to save his ass!!  He will not.)

I just hope I survive his demise,   but I am still worried ... what comes next may be worse.

I actually have (had for five weeks since the first one) several other menial job interviews open and pending, in theory.

I hope to finish my last menial jobs as something I can stomach before I can fully retire from having to work (about one and one half more years, FFS!).

Went into town, it was raining cats and dogs, got absolutely piss wet through.

But day was improved by, when I got to the head shop, the owner let me owe him a bit, as I was just £1.50 short of what I needed to get 3 caps of methiopropamine (analog of meth, where a thiophene ring replaces phenyl), I thought I'd only have enough money for two.

Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

You will survive...you must be there to eat cake when he is handed his walking papers.  >:D

Hopefully it can only get better, not worse DD.

If you're being presented with a warning, DirtDawg, even a final one, that's a very good thing. Didn't really expect that result.

Thank you for the positivity. I need some of that right now!
