Lost my job :(

[OldFinn]

Have to say that is one harsh boss. Good luck on finding a new job mate.

Agreed.

You poor soul.

Check the newspapers, and wotnot. You'll find something.

i've had 3 interviews and i am starting on call labouring next week =] 17$ an hour so its pretty good.

 

[TDD]

oh man...

because christmas holidays are here in a week, and you live in brissy too, you could try for a part-time/casual position at like, a woolworths, just for the time being, until you get a better job.

I feel for you bro, hope it all works out

*Hugs Sparky*

I have found work again... i am working temporarily at a bakery (mass production) as in production line mindless bullshit work... but for 17 - 25$ an hour ill do it so-as i can get the money coming in =]

Well yeah guys i just got a call to say i am no longer needed at my job... basically because my girlfriend had to goto hospital and get scans done for 2 days and needed me to look after bailey. So i ring up my boss and he goes off at me n shit and rings up this morning to say dont bother coming back in. I am so pissed off because i have no money or anything at the moment and yeah... me = screwed again.

This may affect my activity, im not sure which way though i might end up being real active for a week or so while i try and find a new job... which aint going to be easy before chrissy ='[

i didn't think you could get fired for something like this? isn't it illegal.

Thats good you found another job, and one that pays decent at that.

But if you want a good steady job that doesn't plateau, why not shell out some cash and take EMT courses. After you get certified in that you go on calls in the ambulance. You'll meet all sorts of people from the fire department/police station which is never a bad thing.

I'm in the fire department and I sometimes get to go on the ambulance calls as an assistant to the EMT. I don't get paid because I'm a "volunteer Firefighter", but I got to see some interesting things, and Ive made some friends in good places.

You can start out at being an EMT at 18 and I think you start out at $20. Only thing is the hours are weird.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure its $20 an hour here in long island, but it could and probably different at other locations.

 

[what?]

Meh. Losing your job is at least slightly better than losing your pancreas, and, for that matter, a slew of other organs. Try to look at the bright side, geeze.

 

[chase09]

Dam bro fuck your boss thats shitty as hell. Good luck finding a job maby 1 will come up soon

 

[Cheeter]

Best of luck.

dont australians have like workplace laws, cant get sacked for reasons such as what you have said.

 

[full_tilt]

^ We used to.

 

[R Ll N E]

They cant fire you like that...
Havent you heard of Fair Working Laws.. thats what kevin rudd is fighting for at the moment. Stick in there, dont let them walk all over you.

The damage is done. Unfortunately workplaces do these sorts of things and darkspark is a little fish in a big pond so they will take advantage of this. Good luck getting another job man. Hope everything works out for you.

Work choices is fair. People like you do not know the full story and details of Work choices.

As for the main topic, sorry mate, the community is with you.. good luck

Man just go on the doll and do jobs for cash like part time work. until u find another job

 

[ikillu794]

same shit happend to me )=

 

[rsplayer4]

That really does suck... If it was a legit Job your boss cannot throw you away, unless he has a proper reason too. And missing 2 days is not a proper reason to throw you away from your job.

 

[godfather_iv]

dunno if it helps bt im doin law at uni, and u wil find ur boss had no right to sack you, so if i was you seek legal advice and sue his ass pm for any queries

 

[xfire mode]

Gl finding new job....maybe one that pay's better
