Sorry to hear that Iceman. I know it's no consolation, but I'm sure there's a better woman out there for you.

I'm replying to an earlier msg that I had opened in a tab, but then kept reading your posts, to find out she called it quits, and closed the tab. Then I figured it would be good advise for you anyhow.

When you start a relationship with someone, don't forget your friends... especially the close ones. Those are the people that got you through rough times before, and will continue to do so. I have a friend I've known for 20 years.. sure she can be a bit ditzy, and sometimes annoying, but who can't be right..? I love her to death and would do just about anything for her.

Friends are always going to be there for you, and most relationships wont. Sad, but true. I'm not saying completely ignore the girl you're with... but dont forget about your friends.

That's the same way it works in disc golf too. Just as you've given up looking for a lost disc, you find it on the way out of the woods.

Whereas I seem to stumble on other people's lost discs all the time.

I hope that third option comes through for you then. It's just nicer if you beat them to the punch. Being fired doesn't feel very nice.

I havent been on here a lot, lately....

i'm out of a job, currently too...

I was doing good... really good... still in training and already had upsold on a couple of products in my first week on the phones...

I was told that I "dont make a good fit"....

basically she was being a bitch, and using the fact that I missed a week of training, due to my dads death, funeral, etc, without using as many words.

I made one mistake.... I (calmly, and politely) asked an irate customer to calm down..... after he had gone off on me for about 15 minutes, calling me every white-racial slur under the sun....

and I even ended the call, by selling the guy on 2 products that he didnt even have, prerviously.

Human Resources, basically wont do anything about it, because they didnt have a hand in it, to begin with..... "but I'm welcome to Re-apply, and will be treated just like any new hire, should my qualifications look good".....

we're doing the reading for my dads will, on July 17th...

Its gonna look REALLY good if I'm still unemployed come that time.....

so good, infact that my uncle (who gets to decide what happens to this house), could for all intents and purposes, if he wants to - sell this house out from under me - citing that I dont know how to do jack-shit, except be irresponsible.

but I think this time...I'm going to keep my eyes/ears open....

Nick - HR will never tell you, and if you didn't get along with your supervisor, that's all that matters while you're in training. They can fire you for whatever reason they like - Minnesota's an "at-will" state as a result. Sorry dude.

That was quick, K-man. I know a guy at RMS if you want other options?

Nick - just as a post-script, the point of the earlier post was that there's nothing you can do in response except start over. Sorry dude, keep your chin up. :smile:

Wicked Nick

Its not that I didnt get along with her...

she just didnt like the way I handled a couple of phone calls (nevermind the fact that I knew how to do everything, and did it fantastically).....

It did kind of strike a nerve with me, though when she said "maybe if you didnt miss part of that one week, things would be different"

....

jeez..... so..... let me get it right...

my f'ing dad dies, and you're the one who decides I should take a few days of bereavement.... and then later on, you hold it against me?
Tue, 06/12/2007 - 12:05 PM Permalink
Wicked Nick

Its getting harder and harder to do just that - keep my chin up...

feels like time is running out, right now for me to get things done...

I seriously cannot afford to be unemployed.

I worked at RMS for a while, back in 05.... I had a cousin who was a manager of some form over there....

not sure, but I think she took off from there, a while ago, though.

Cool, let me know, I know the head of recruiting there so I can put in a good word for you - probably get you ahead of the pace in terms of accounts, etc.
