I just got fucking fired!!!
    #7753296 - 12/13/07 11:33 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I have been sick the last few days, and today when I called in to say that I would be coming back, my boss tells me that he has to let me go.  I have been there for 4 years, he has repeatedly told me I am their best teacher (I am/was a guitar teacher), I had the most students of anyone there, and just like that, he fires me.  No apologies, no thanks for the years of great work, just "we have to let you go".

Fuck.  I dont know what I am going to do. 

:hippie:

Go in there and get a better explanation. You have that right.

That sucks dude. If it means any condolences, my manager is illiterate; she can "only read the big words":nonono:

I really would demand an explanation.

After 4 years of working somewhere they sure as hell owe you more than "We have to let you go." If it's because they can't afford to keep you anymore, shit ya get unemployment. If it's because you were sick sue their asses.

Either way, get a personal tape recorder and have it in a coat pocket when you go in to talk to them.

yep, that is what they call "at-will" employment. unless you are a contracted employee, they don't really need any reason to fire you.

Them calling it "at will" means little to nothing. The issue is whether they treated you as at will, which they probably did.

Look up the family medical leave act if you're in the USA, but you probably don't qualify if you didn't work there often, as there are minimum hourse per year to qualify.

So I went in today to pick up my last check and gather my stuff.  I didnt realize this, but the entire decor of the lesson rooms (waiting area inculded) is full of my posters.  The only reason it was so colourful there was because of me :wink:  Now everything looks all sparse and boring.  I took down every poster that was mine, and now the walls in the entire music school are completely bare.  :lol:

Suckers!

In Florida you can be fired for any or no reason at all.




Actually this is the case with almost every state in the US. I think there are like 2 or 3 states that don't have employment at will.

I don't think he's eligible for FLMA. I'm no expert yet, but to be eligible for FMLA, you have to have a serious medical issue. Sounds like Shroomery member #126709, Quoiyaien, just came down with a cold or something. It wasn't anything serious if he was only out for three days.

Quoiyaien, what kind of attendance did you have at this job up until this point? What kind of relationship did you have with your co-workers and supervisor? I'm not trying to come down on you, but it sounds like there must be more to this story. No sane employer would get rid of someone who was as productive as you say you've been.

Its not just the getting sick, in the last year I have had to miss 6 weeks total (2 surgeries, and other complications) due to a serious ankle injury.  I was good friends with all my coworkers, I even met my boss for a beer (sometimes we'd drink together at work) on multiple occasions.  To be honest, I think they were doing me a favour.  I was stuck in a serious rut and they knew I had loftier ambitions than to be stuck teaching in a small-town guitar store forever. 

But the whole thing was a shock.  There was no warning of any kind, just a month ago they were talking about making me the in store "sound engineer".  I was the in-store gear-head as I knew more about the products than anyone else in the store, and was called in to assist in gear recommendations on multiple occasions. 

So as it stands, I have no friggin clue why I got fired other than "your missing too much work, and its not fair to your students".  Oh well, fuck it.  I have better things to do now.

Plus its all for the better.  After holding a guitar for 6 hours a day teaching, the last thing I wanted to do was play guitar for myself.  My own music suffered immensely.  Why just today and yesterday, I played guitar for hours, and totally remembered why I love the instrument so much.  Now I have lots of time for my bands, and now have a better chance to pursue this girl I am totally interested in (we had completely conflicting schedules before)

Its a blessing really.  The more I think about it, the more i realize that this is the best thing that could have happened.  I will have no problem finding work.  I know lots of recording studios in the area and will have time to take on more studio session work.  I already have 2 gigs lined up!  Plus, I am good friends with the manager of the BIG music store in my city, and he has all kinds of connections in the music industry. 

Now I am a musician.  Not a music teacher.  The quote "Those that can, do.  And those that can't, teach."  Really hit me this morning.  I can do this.  My music is ready to explode onto the scene.  :laugh:

:hippie:
