Have you ever worked at a job where they were looking for an excuse to fire you?

Too bad. Company should save their employees who served them very long. Not to the extent to make excuses of firing good employees.

@TheHorse - I gave the big boss a fine reason to fire me. I was 14 years old and on a really nice summer job in a silk screen display-printing place. I broke up laughing at one of the bosses one time, folling on the floor, laughing at him for being such a total dunce. the other boss, the biggie, told me, :When you get done laughing, come see me in the office." It was adios time for me.

sort of.i've had two jobs in the past where i came in and i wasn't on the schedule at all. and didn't get an answer about it,so it wasn't an omission.they just didn't have the kanakas to tell me i was fired..

Been down this road before myself. Multiple times actually. I was hired for several jobs where shortly after arriving I found out that I was a second choice while the company continued negotiating with the person they wanted in the position in the first place. When I'm being interviewed for a position now I'm on the look out for that type of situation. You can't win. No matter how well you do the job the axe will fall. I've only survived that type of situation once but it was in a different post. After being transferred it was discovered that everything I was being blamed for was outside of my control. Moving me out didn't change anything. I was lucky to be very versatile in the shop or I would have been canned.

These days keeping a job is stressful enough making sure that you don't give them a reason to let you go and when you work in a hostile work environment it makes it even more harder and stressful. I don't think I would have lasted as long as you did. I can't say that I have ever had it that hard working anywhere.

Right now, im like walking on broken glass at my workplace, it`s not because of what l do,it`s because the boss is like waking up and thinking who he can fire that day. Im grateful everyday l don't get a termination letter.He`s been with us 14 months, in that time,we have 26 terminations and about 10 who resigned.

No. This has not happened to me but no one likes smart people around and may be they tolerated me because I was not smart

Oh yes, my last real job with a company! I'd gotten hired when a lady already employed there had wanted her friend to be hired for the spot I got, she immediately began bad mouthing me to supervisors so they started looking for reasons to fire me. I was told I'd be working with families in crisis, turns out the job was nothing but a glorified babysitter job and since I couldn't get my direct boss to give me a list of my job responsibilities, they got rid of me after my probationary period saying I didn't fulfill the role of my job.

I see it happen in my last job , my boss wanted to get rid of a few people but he was careful doing it.

I never worked at a job where I thought they wanted to fire me but I did have a few jobs when I wish they would

Because I was young, I had an attitude. I worked at Showbiz Pizza. They tried to make me quit, so I lost the attitude and did every crappy thing they made me do. But they never fired me.

Gladfully not. My bosses in every job I took tried to keep me and some were even sad when I left my jobs.

Great one that is what integrity can do, it cannever allow a wrong thing happen. I have been in such a situation though as a volunteer where I and my fellows could get into a war every now and then that they wanted to do sth.wrong, funny enough is that there was non to hundles such issuess because leaders to were involved. So I had to stay focursed untill they ended their office tearm is I raised integrity issues with the support of the new office

I havent got any job yet. Just helping my fathers

I can't say as I've been that position. I hope I never do.

Stressful? Oh, ya. I was working at a answering service nights. They had a taxi service there as well. The gal that worked the taxi board most of the time would sleep most of the night. When a call came in I teletyped it over to her. I would try knocking on the window to wake her up because she was in a room away from me with just the window between us, most times this just pissed her off. I had my own responsibilities and night work I had to do so I couldn't always watch to be sure she did her job. One morning I was called into the boss' office and called on the carpet for not teletyping the taxi info over to the gal. Ugh! I think she had reported me thinking I would her and she wanted to get me first. I explained my side and they let it go for awhile. But, I felt like the gal and the boss where out to get me. All my work began to be scrutinized like it never had been before. Looking for something and some reason to fire me. I finally just found another job and quit. It was a trying time for me. Hated working nights anyway.

When I joined my second job, primary intention was to get a home loan for which I was not entitled to in the first job. Here, I found folks who were not able to save even for down payment, for whatever be their social reasons. So a bit of jealousy was there at that point. I joined as a document writer, and did some accounts as well apart from programming. But the work load was randomly spaced. I took up the systems there which were terrible and I'd because of my previous experience learned how to organize. But the worst came when finances were not moving. Salaries were being delayed way too long so I took over home loans department...did a decent job and soon salaries came in time...additional loans came on to me, those too we could manage, they'd not realized the potential because they always thought of assets in white terms. I forced them to mention the real estate at its actual value white as well as black and got them to seek valuations. Somewhere along the way clients began preferring to interact with me, and that became a sore point with some of the staff members. Some politics when I was out negotiating loans were there. I finally left the organization for another which was even worse. But I had other reasons to ground myself and so I did.

The last job that I had, this was their quest. I too blew the whistle, more than once. But the final straw for them was when I filed for Workman's Comp. They had hired contractors to reroof the school, and they made me sick. I waited until two weeks after I hit the date which made me a permanent teacher, then filed the papers. They called me into the office and tried to let me go. Sorry, I'm tenured, and have fabulous evaluations. I have done nothing wrong, and you missed the deadline. After my attorney spoke to theirs, they shut up. But this was not the last time they tried to fire me. As an experienced teacher, I was expensive. They worked hard at making expensive teachers miserable so they would retire early. I retired at 64, which was two years before my planned date, but it cost them $$$.

My last job was high stress and I wanted out, but they couldn't fire me because my work was excellent, and I wouldn't just leave. However, they finally found their loophole and not only fired me but everyone I worked with on a particular team. We were all gone. I hope they found better positions, but I don't know that.

I wanted to have someone be under surveillance, it is a relative. But one have told me, i can not.do that for he is a relative. The same reason why i want him.to be clean or clean his act..because he is a relative
