It's All So Quiet...

[Miss_Stress]

...well, it was!

My fiance and I went for a meal to a local pub last night. Lovely meal, wonderful service and great staff. We were nearing the end of the meal, and we heard yelling. Naturally, being the nosy cow I am, I turned to look. A woman was yelling at the end of the bar.

Woman: I'm a GRANDMA now you know!

Manager 1: You're still banned!

Woman: You want to get in the real world, all your wife has to worry about is filing her nails! (How this was relevant to everything, I don't know)

Manager 1: If you've got so many worries, why are you trying to get back into a bar you were banned from years ago?

Woman: Fuck you! (starts swearing and shouting)

Manager 2: Excuse me, tone the language down please!

Woman: Excuse me, shut the fuck up! *Garble garble garble*

Manager 1: GET OUT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

Woman: I won't be back!

Manager 1: GOOD! NOW PISS OFF!

*Woman exits*

I believe my facial expressions went like this:

I was just about to ask if you were in my Ex's old Local.... but wrong county

Woman: I won't be back!

Wasn't that the whole point the manager was trying to get her to understand?

Yes, yes it was. I think she was trying to salvage some sort of dignity at this point because the whole bar was staring.

"Well, you banned me, so to make you feel bad I won't come back."

Yes, it makes sense.

Somewhere.

This post is proof why this board needs a rating system. Rate up, my good sir.

ROFL that's cute.

Makes me think of those tales where it goes like...

Boss: You're fired
worker: You can't fire me, I quit!

Or Person A dumping Person B and person B trying to convince everyone that THEY dumped Person A first etc.

worker: You can't fire me, I quit!

Of course, if a worker quits, it means less hassle for the boss, so he'd probably be happy if the worker turned it around on him like that.

Boss: Great. Now I don't have to file this corrective action notice for your termination, and I don't have to worry about contesting your unemployment claim since you won't be eligible having quit rather than being terminated. Now just fill out this voluntary resignation notice...

Exactly. If your boss fires you, just smile, turn in your name-badge, and walk out. Promptly file for unemployment and contact your attorney.

Back in January, my boss told me - in writing and in person - that he had no intention of contesting my Unemployment Claim when he term'd me (also in writing). I had the Appeal notice from the State less than 48 hours after my last shift there; I had applied that night. This suggests to me that his letter requesting Appeal was in the mail to the State before he even gave me the Term letter. Sneaky bastid.

Not necessarily. Many states will deny your unemployment out of hand these days, and make you appeal. This is particularly the case if your reason for termination is a policy violation or something, but I've heard of it happening on all sorts of cases. If you bother to appeal, then they'll see if your former employer wants to fight for it, and you'll either get your unemployment or go to a hearing. But they're hoping you give up and don't appeal.

SD: Nope. Here, they seem to auto-approve you unless the employer protests it. It's just that it takes a long, long time (I got another job soon after the January one died, but got canned for unclear reasons the first week of June. I am STILL waiting for them to process the app, and I didn't really have money set aside, either >_< It's been a bad three months...)

With the January job, I'm talking about a form from my employer, signed by him specifically protesting the UE (I won the appeal. I document things, apparently he does not), and claiming several fictional "misbehavior" things, is what showed up in my mail with alacrity...None of these claims had come up in anything in the past (aside from vague accusations, never written down, that I had disproved ages ago), and none of which were mentioned on the Term letter. In fact, the letter left the door wide open for me to do "outside contracting" work for him in the future -- he actually said that he wanted to do business with me down the line...Does that sound like the words of someone I had pissed off? . There was nothing in the Term letter that suggested that I was "being let go" for any reason aside from the (fictional) downturn in business (read: they hired someone who works for less but can only do half of what I was doing)
