It just doesn't get any shittier than this.

[freetobegay]

I was fired this morning!

[LiberalVoice]

1. I wanna die.

[Sannum]

2. sorry

:hug:

when it rains, it pours

[pagerbear]

3. Oh God! I'm so sorry!

(((((((((((((((((((((freetobe)))))))))))))))))))

[LiberalEsto]

4. Oh, hell

that's lousy. I got fired for the first time in my life on July 30, and damn it, it HURTS. Good luck.

[Francesca]

5. I am so sorry thats horrible

try to keep your chin up, sometimes a job transition can open up new doors...A lot of people I know months after losing a job find in retrospect it was a good thing.. you never know what could come your way..

[Metatron]

6. I am so very sorry

[MissB]

7. Aw shit.

I am so sorry.

[cade]

8. when it all turns to shit

it usually does so all at once. That's been my experience in life anyway.

[Misunderestimator]

9. No fucking way... I'm so sorry, ftbg

What the hell happened?

[freetobegay]

11. I was told, we don't allow losers to work here.

:cry:

[Wat_Tyler]

14. You're shitting me?

[Francesca]

you mean losers as in Dems??????

if so fuck them, they are losers and good riddance.

[freetobegay]

21. Well I work for Repukes

And tensions have been way high for a week. I don't know how else to take it.

[GingerSnaps]

28. You were on DU during the day yesterday did you miss work?

When your working for assholes they will use any excuse to fire you. :grr:

I was fired for taking a pee one time because I took too long in the bathroom. The company wanted one excuse and they got it.

:hug:

[freetobegay]

29. No

I only had a four hour shift yesterday which I worked.

[GingerSnaps]

30. Look for a Lawyer

They were looking for an excuse. Are they gay bashers because if they are you can sue them and own the company and they will be working for you.

I hate this kind of shit! :argh:

[Misunderestimator]

34. It's Florida... If they fired him for being gay, it's perfectly ok.

Ain't that a knock in the head? And very soon, we'll look back on that lack of protection as paradise after * appoints some new justices.

[GingerSnaps]

40. That's different

Nothing to see here move along folks :argh:

[MissB]

18. Nice

So you had asswipes for bosses? I'm sorry about that, too.

I hope tomorrow looks brighter for you.

[Blue-Jay]

19. WTF?!

seriously?

[GingerSnaps]

20. Did they use the word "loser"?

That's grounds for a lawsuit.

[freetobegay]

24. Yes they did & more than once!

I recieved a performance evaluation just last month, I exceeded standards in all areas & got one of the biggest raises in my life.

I just don't know right from wrong anymore! :cry:

[Wat_Tyler]

25. Get a lawyer. NOW.

[GingerSnaps]

33. Did they know that you are Gay?

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

35. In THAT case... definitely find a LAWYER.

If you got a superior evaluation and gave you a raise, they will definitely have to show some major cause for firing you. Do it, please.

[rot0r_head]

23. Call the ACLU right away

Show them who the goddamn "loser" is.

[Misunderestimator]

36. Yes, call the ACLU. Forget the whole "it's legal to discriminate against

gays in Florida" problem... with your evaluation and raise, this is another kind of discrimination. The ACLU might assign you a lawyer at no expense to you.

[7th_Sephiroth]

31. they just bought themselves a multi-million dollar lawsuit

its illegal to fire someone for thier political beliefs, and since your gay, feel free to lie and say they fired you for your sexual orientation, too

[Misunderestimator]

38. The gay thing really won't matter in Florida. That would be a hard fight.

Discrimination against gays is perfectly acceptable and practically institutionalized here.

[salvorhardin]

10. Oh god

I'm so sorry.

[terrya]

12. Oh, dear God.

I'm sorry. I know that doesn't help right now.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. ohh love

i am so sorry!

lots and lots of love

[GingerSnaps]

15. Did they give you a reason?

It seems like something is happening bad to you every day.

Sorry :hug:

[JVS]

16. Bummer!

[bif]

17. That really blows.

I'm sorry to hear that.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. oh Jesus!

:cry:

[redqueen]

26. I'm so sorry

What a shitty thing to do. Then again, they are repukes.

Hope you find something better with nicer people, soon.

:hug:

[jrthin]

27. So sorry. n/t

[Willy Lee]

32. Dear Freetobegay-

Fuck them. I am not religous but I believe in Karma, and what goes around comes around.

I am really utterly sorry that this happened.

So what are you going to do now that you have the rest of the week off? Good supportive friends you can visit? Any sights you have always wanted to see? A good bottle of wine you have stashed away for a special night?

Indulge. And surround yourself with the people who love you!

[sister moon]

37. Would you feel comfortable disclosing the name of the business

so that we can boycott them and their advertisers?

[amandae]

39. Definately find an attorney!!!

That is so REDICULOUS!! I am so sorry that you have to go through this! Huge hugs to you today!! (on edit - and everyday)
