Long story short, a friend of mine got "let go" today from his job. Nice, stand up guy educated with a business degree. He had asked his female manager today if he could leave early because the cable guy is coming to fix his cable and the manager okay's it. Then 5-6 hours later he get called into the office by the owner, together with the manager and within 2 min's find out he's being let go. Apparently because he's not "performing too well", and the million dollar owner is losing money? His company has about 100 employees with a 500,000 sq. foot of space in his warehouse. This is the same owner who's been friends with his father for 10 years! My friend even asked the owner "can I at least apply for unemployment" and he responded "no, I'll think about." The female manager and my friend haven't really been "best of friends" either but still been respectful. Either way I think the manager had something to do with it, but the owner entirely mishandled & mistreated my friend thus knowing his father for 10 years!
This is today's economy with the rich & wealthy treating their employees!

friend should set the warehouse on fire, rape the manager and throw her body into the flames to hide the evidence. Keep her undies as a trophy.

Now I know this is a far out thought..... Bear with me here...
Is it possible your friend really wasn't preforming too well?

I like the way you think mister.

One thing I learned while being in the people management business - there is almost always more to a story when you hear of a guy that was just happy go lucky, standup dude never had any issues, but fired by the evil management in under 2 min without a good reason given no prior performance issues or meetings .... eh.... the way corporate law is these days ? No fucking way!

Those bad "rich" people letting go of bona fide nice guys.

Lol I know this must all come as a shock to you all but....
Anybody who performs well and ads value to the business is probably not going to be fired... just saying here.

If laid off you can collect unemployment, if fired no

I have a feeling many getbiggers are very familiar with that particular rule ;D

Wrong. If you quit, you can not file (in most states). If you are fired, you have every right to file a claim.

Yes, revenue cures all that ails. He was underperforming or there is more to it than you know/say.
-
If you are fired for reasons that were within your control you may not file, but if it is out of your control the company cannot keep you from filing form unemployment. that being said if he is unable to get it hes probally a useless fucking troll that didnt deserve the job so fuckem.... hope this helps ;)

well, maybe his father was an asshole, for being friend with an asshole.
On a side note..."female manager" ?
Is there anything worse on earth?
He should be happy not to be there anymore. Lol at being managed by a woman.

by the way, does your "friend" posts on getbig under the alias "Big N" by any chances? ::)

I would blame Obama and send him a nasty letter..

There HAS to be more to the story.

Company has to prove that. Most companies will not document well. I would go so far as to say that most don't have employee handbooks. If you don't have one, be prepared for any fuckstick to claim that they were fired unjustly.

As a member of the evil empire I will tell u the last person I'm going to let go is someone doing their job well. Even in and especially during downturns. And even with proper documentation the biggest clown screwing off at their job will most likely get unemployment. I've learned even in the most egregious examples of a lazy ass I don't even fight the case anymore. They usually get it no matter wut. It's just another example of our system rewarding laziness. Not worth my time.

Oh n in my opinion a boy becomes a man wen he begins accepting responsibility for everything that happens to him. (within reason of course. Exempt would be shit like enjoying a batman movie at midnite in Colorado n situations like that). But most of us r where we r in life due to the decisions we make over time.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

dude should have already been sexting (plus pics) with the manager of an opposite gender (no matter if she's hot or not).
He can never be fired in this case.

This.

Was he the only one?...Was there any malfeasance on his part at all?...It seems he angered someone...a nastygram well hidden from him?...Was he in contact with someone at a competitor?...Was he looking for another job?...One company I worked for had the unwritten policy that if you gave two week's notice, you would be fired that day.

I am a very good worker (probably why i ended up working for myself) and i have left jobs and they've been pissed i went. You don't let someone go who is good.

Its a fail to get to a point in life where you answer to anyone to make your money, start your own business.

its comfortable to receive a guaranteed paycheck every month.

x1000 Been there, done that.
Example :
1) Missing 30 out of the first 90 days of probation
2) Documented patient complaints
3) Documented dress code violations
4) Documented texting during work hours
5) Failing to clock in/out multiple times weekly
etc, etc, etc
She was granted the ability to collect unemployment. Took us a long time to fight it.

I like the way people with wealth are evil according to the youth of today. Only celebs and athletes are should have money according to liberals. After all how money do you need?
Business like life isn't fair. The owner can and does hire his do nothing son to be a manager while the guy with the knowledge now answers to his know nothing son. That's life.
I learned the suck up on the job gets promoted because that's how the guy who promoted him got there. That's was the way my job operated anyway. I hope getting fired will eventually turn into him finding a better job with a better pay check.

It's a simple dogma to get rid of the middle class and self empowerment. Virtue is turned into "crime" unless it sanctioned by the powers that be - this helps tremendously with idol worshipping.

Nice, stand up guy educated with a business degree.

1. Business degree is not much better than a GED these days.
2. Nice guys don't cut it in the real world. You have to step on some toes once in a while.
Hope this helps.

anyone that hires a do nothing son is an idiot. If one is going to coddle their grown son I'd rather just throw him money and keep him away from the company rather than be a cancer in it. But many sons of successful fathers do become hard working and successful too. No I'm not the son of a business owner.
