    Are you the Undertaker? Because I think he wants his move back





    anywho i got fired once when i was 17. It was from sea world. They gave free tickets to employees and most people who worked there didn't want them. So I took them off their hands.

    I sold all of them on ebay. Turns out some one who worked there spotted me and emailed me with a question and i replied. My email that just happen to have my name on it. stupid. Anyway i got fired but made more money selling the tickets than working there. After that they change the tickets so they could not possibly be resold. fine print...barcode..signature..etc.

    I've only been fired once. Very condensed story. I was construction superintendent and almost got shot when my "new" boss intentionally didn't process some payroll just to with me. I spent about 5 minutes staring down the barrel of a .357 trying to convince the subcontractor not to shoot me. Meanwhile, my new boss was peeking out the window watching the whole thing. When it was finally over I went back inside and picked my boss up by the throat with one hand and slammed him against the wall and held him with his feet dangling. I very slowly and clearly told him I would kill him if he ever did anything like that to me again. I got fired a week later.
    Damn bro what a complete and total ing badass you are.

    Stories like CCs are pretty common in the construction industry back in the 70s/80s.

    My pops used to carry back then when builders used to waiver and give him the run around about paying. Some of these trades are owed up to $100-150K and finally snap.

    Between saying that McCain girl is an ugly pos and claiming he nails 10's every night and now his super badass stories of him chode bloading a guy with his bare hands, this guy has cemented his place as the most bad ass cowboy of all time.

    Exactly. The guy was owed a $32,000 check and I submitted the payroll. The asshole boss stuck it in his desk and didn't submit it. I didn't like the guy pulling a gun on me but I didn't blame him. He had tractor payments due and we owed him the money. When the sheriff showed up I refused to press charges.

    I heard my boss later got transferred to Louisiana and tried to pull the same over there. The subcontractor put him in the hospital for three months.

    I'm pretty sure he's told that story a few times over the last few years.

    I don't really care if it's true, I just know that things like that were quite common when I was growing up.

    Not so much anymore.

    I was fired from my first job selling Pokemon at the mall. They said business was too slow to keep me on the schedule but I'm pretty sure it was because I was telling all of the customers the Pokemon was fake, which it was.

    I was fired from Radioshack in 2001. I was riding the bus to work one morning and missed my transfer. I ended up opening the store 30 minutes late. About a week later, my district manager summoned me to the district office. He had pulled security records and highlighted every single time I'd disarmed the alarm after 10 am (opening time) and armed it before 8 pm (closing time) in the previous 6 months. Ended up being about 20 or so times. The only time that was more than 2 minutes either way was the one day i opened 30 minutes late. I was fired.

    I filed for unemployment and got it since I had never been disciplined for iness or early closes. The district manager appealed the unemployment on the grounds that I knew the rules I broke so I shouldn't get benefits. The appeal was denied solely on the grounds that despite the fact that I'd been late many many times in my 2 years of employment, I'd never been written up, warned, or disciplined in any way. Thanks to a poor economy and extensions on unemployment in Oregon at the time, I drew benefits for almost 2 years until I found another job.

    2 years is a long time to be unemployed though. Was the compensation that good?

    It wasn't easy, to be sure. But my wife was working full time while I was out of work so we made ends meet by living on the cheap. Basically, she was the primary breadwinner and I was the house-husband. Kinda ty but we got through it.

    Not really. I freaking hated it. I didn't want to be out of work for that long but about 8 months into being unemployed I threw my back out helping my dad do some work on his house. I had to scrape enough money to go to a chiropractor for the next couple of months to fix it. After that, I just couldn't find anything until fall 2003 when I got a job at Albertsons. Stayed there until 2007 when I was laid off, got on at Fred Meyer 2 months later and been there since.

    I forgot you worked at Radio Shack. I remember my mgr always telling me, if you want to leave a few minutes early don't set the alarm because the bas s will say something. But I would imagine that it is probably more strict working at a Radio Shack in TX by the corporate headquarters being in Ft. Worth. I remember someone at the alarm company calling me like 2 months after I quit that job at like 3am because the alarm had went off. lol
