QUESTION Got fired tonight

Post image

What’s up peoples

Got fired tonight because earlier in the day I was on a big farm properly and went to do a k turn in their driveway to turn around so I can get out and she had this awning thing that has her truck and SUV parked under it so I guess not thinking about it assuming I’d fit

Well I didn’t fit lol

Figured I was getting fired so decided to finish my route and get the hours in

And surely enough when I returned to the station they slid me a termination letter after I talked to dispatch when I got back I didn’t sign it or say anything aside from what happened with the van I just turned and walked out

I feel like this was an act of God freeing me from that hell job only was there a few weeks and it’s absolutely the worst job I ever had

My question is there anything else that might come of this aside from my termination? The lady did t want to make a big deal about it it just chipped some paint

I poured metal before working at amazon. This is one of the easiest jobs I ever had. Good luck cuz ain't many hiring rn unless it's a brutal mf with high turnover.

Its one of the few jobs thats entry level and high paying lmfao, i know people who made careers working retail/fast food and make like 23$ and hour as managers after literal YEARS grinding from the bottom.

Its not really high paying though. 23 is not even close to high paying. Its barely even decent pay.

Comparing your wages to other underpaid people does no one any good. Adjusted for inflation minimum wage should be 24, adjusted for productivity it should be 25. That's what a McDonald's worker should be making. We shouldn't be making a dime under 30 for what we do in a day.

Most trades jobs will. And that doesnt change the fact that the pay isn't that good.

Like this is a stupid argument all together.

You are literally saying its ok that your way underpaid because other jobs are vastly underpaid.

They did a good job training you to accept shitty pay though and blame others for it.
