So I've been working as a busboy at this semi fancy italian place down here in Montreal, had been going really well (I thought), I work with cute girls, I work hard, show up pretty much on time, don't call in sick very often, get along with the staff.. It was a good gig.
I had a lot of respect for the manager of the restaurant, he would give me advice, usually he had a pretty cynical tone, but that's just his personality.. Anyways today everything seemed to be going well but I had to take an important call about the gig I'm playing this evening so I was in the back, bagging the bread we give out to tables while simultaneously... then he comes in looks at me, asks me if im on the phone (why do people even ask lol) then tells me to punch out and come see him.
He told me he tried to teach me, didnt work out, (I'd been there a month and when I started I had no experience in the position) told me if I needed a reference to call him and that was that...
I asked if he could give me some more insight, for myself, he said
"By law I dont even have to"
:wtf:
Then I went downstairs, the super hot bartender kamaiah asked me if i was going home, i told her i was fired, then watched like 5 jaws drop open from other staff that was around...
i really liked working there. :(
he fired someone else yesterday for pretty much no reason either, or at least thats how it seemed to us.. I know business is pretty low right now downtown compared to what they expected- maybe he was just waiting for something.. i dunno, but getting fired is stupid.
welp, at least i can go nuts this weekend knowing I have no work monday :p |

Sorry to hear that but not this weekend though.
Perhaps he didn't even like you from the offset and was looking for the first excuse he could find to get rid of you.
Although he does seem like a tosser. Good riddance. |

i'd be pissed off if someone did that to me. what kind of boss does something like that? do you think you did something to make him dislike you? |

| If someone doesn't appreciate your work then you're better off somewhere else! look at it from the positive side! |

Let's get to important matters Allied.
Did you get Kamaiah's number before you were booted? |
