Guess they don't want their keys?

It is, but this is normal they hire new staff every 3 -6 months anyways. So it should tell you something about the company and manager. Noone likes the manager, and even customers are leaving. I was training t my new job, down the road, and half the customers were from Global.

She sounds like a real jerk. Maybe this is all a blessing in disguise, heh? Even if she had an issue with your performance, there is no need to be like that. She will have a hard time keeping good help.

They mail it, I told them I have the key and would give it to my coworker. She goes don't bother, and hung up the phone. So I said fine, come find me if you want it. They have a secrutiy system so I assume they changed the access to my code, so even if I got in, the alarm would go off.

The funny thing is I was warned before I got the job about the manager, I needed the job and money so I grabbed at it. She just got worse as time went on calling us poor, stupid, nit picked everything, she wouldn't trust us telling us what to buy, and just how she forced us to deal with customers (such as pushing products on them). She goes through new staff every 3 -6 months literally. The funny thing is I think she was pulling that out of her rear. I had gotten a job at the competitor, and started that night. So it wasn't some shock, my new job they are so laid back, want you to succeed, and will scratch your back if you scratch yours. I mean when I applied I had told him about my other jobs, and he works around them, my other job never did she would put me in then say oh well show up.

I am not sure, I would assume they would mail it iin cheque form, with my dismissal papers.

I would fight them for that, I told her I had the key and I would give it to my coworker, and the manager said don't btoher. So obviously she doesn't want the key back that badly. If they try and hold my pay, or take it off my pay I will fight them. It's there responsibility to get the key back from me.

Don't bother, huh? Is this the problem manager you've posted about a time or two? I finally read your other post about it and something just seems off about the whole thing. And not just the whole unprofessional phone call thing... Any chance she's trying to make it seem like you're quitting voluntarily, not being fired by her? We had a manager at the bookstore who was doing that so the company wouldn't have to pay unemployment to fired employees. He got in huge trouble over it, too.

Yes, the same manager. I really don't know. I am assuming my new job called her up, and said your loss she works here now. Most companies have this set rule if you work at the competitor you get fired on the spot. But the fact she didn't say that, she made up your performance reason. I am waiting to get the dismissal papers in the mail - thye have 8 business days to get it to me.

Vital beat me to it. If a firm is worried about security at all, they have to change the lock(s) every time they fire someone they've given a key to. Typical is security giving the person fired a few minutes to get their personal possessions together and then frogmarching them out of the building, to make sure they don't go away with secrets or for other reasons. When Harrods (a "high class" department store in London) dismissed a fitter for purchasing for himself a suit that was in the sale (this is strictly against the rules) Security instantly frogmarched him out of the building. His colleague commented that he didn't think the guy had come back even to reclaim his briefcase. Maybe they're more trusting out there in Canada? Or maybe the key is given only to enable staff to get in the building before it's open to the general public and it cannot be used at any time when the user could do any real harm.

She fired me over the phone, I had nothing there. I assume they changed the locks. I really could care a less, I wont be going back to the store. Not worth my business or spending my money on it.

It says nothing on the key, and you are right anyone could go copy the key in the 6 months I worked there.

They don't do that here, I would have to pay for the postage, and if I want to make sure it gets there with a signature it would be at least $15.00.

It was, just not worth the money for me.

well good luck it was only a thought

Exactly, I offered when I was in town training she didn't seem in a hurry.

Doesn't make sense, oh well saves me the trip of seeing them again.

Even if I got in the building, the alarm would go off. We live in such a small town that everyone knows everything anyways. My coworker said they changed the locks already.
