Ten10 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 [insert my long heart felt post here] My computer crashed on me. But this sucks bluey. I can't help but think this is my fault for that lil MGS style opps mission you did for me the other week. They somehow caught you. But your skills were being wasted there anyway. http://www.peopleperhour.com/ For the meantime I'd say time to do it freelance.
Jimbob Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Ah man, sorry to hear Bluey. Hopefully a new job will come about quick and you can put all this behind you. And with the boss terminating you via email, it kind of singles you out from the others and he/she shouldn't have done it this way, but in person is much better tbh. Once again, sorry to hear about this.
Sheikah Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I would actually reply inquiring as to why it was done via e-mail as opposed to telephone. Words are so easily to manipulate, and if they couldn't be bothered to spend five minutes per employee on the phone when they have provided their time effort for the company then they really are a bunch of bastards. Here's hoping you get another job soon. It's not easy finding work at the present, but I'd always recommend big businesses or retailers that are likely to remain strong.
bluey Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 there were only 6 employees in the place.. so i'm kinda as singled out as i can get. it was probably for the best he did it by email. i totally panicked when i read it and started hyperventilating.. plus, if he'd have waited until tomorrow to do it in person i'd have paid £116 for a month's tube and bus pass that morning. but yeah... some kinda follow-up phonecall woulda been appreciated.
Ashley Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 That really sucks Bluey. Like super sucks. Like Jenna Jameson sucks! Sorry to hear. Want us to ring up demanding they take you back and make you queen?
soag Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 God I'm so sorry and by email, surely thats not right :/.
Platty Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Sorry to hear that bluey, pretty damn harsh. Via email too. Hope you find another job quickly.
Jon Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Look on the bright side, you weren't onboard a Helicopter that ditched in the North Sea killing everyone onboard. [/Toughweek]
Rummy Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Aww man, that sucks! What're you gonna do now? Look for a similar sort of job, just any job, or what? I think you should do some art stuff commisions on the side at least, some of your stuff in the creative gallery looked really fun! Alas, I have no need of arty stuff, but I'm sure someone out there does!

If I said that you'd make a great corpse, would that be considered a compliment or sign of mental instability?
S.C.G Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 If I said that you'd make a great corpse, would that be considered a compliment or sign of mental instability? Both... but because it's in context, I don't see why it can't be viewed as just a compliment.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Both... but because it's in context, I don't see why it can't be viewed as just a compliment. Uh, of course! I meant it as a compliment! Yeah ... >_>
