I Just Got Fired From A Worksite

[FoxGranadaChuck]

As many of you know, I am now working as a security guard. I worked for a contract-security company for 15 years, and I started working for them again slightly more than a year ago. As far as I know now, I am not fired from the guard company. However, I have just been fired from one particular worksite.

I am looking at this as being set free from a work-site that I vehemently despised. I absolutely hated working there! The ONLY reason that I am still working for the guard company is to pay bills and put food on the table. However, that should change in the next few months.

Why did I despise working there?! Primarily because of lack of communication on the part of that work-site. They would not say anything to us about any reefer trailers that they might have running during the week-end, but we were supposed to communicate to them about the most trivial incident. This was what got me into trouble.

This past Friday, the alarm to the ammonia suppression unit was activated, and I did not call anyone. This was because I thought that the maintenance supervisor was there. The company had a sprinkler-service company to come in and service their sprinkler system. I was told by the maintenance supervisor that the ammonia suppression unit alarm would almost always be activated shortly after the sprinkler system was serviced.

Am I slightly upset that I am "let go" of a job?! Sure. But am I angry about it?! Absolutely not!!! I look at this as freedom from working someplace that I really hated! Not only does the corporate/political culture stink to high-heaven, but Sunday was my single busiest day of the week! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I just got a phone call from my main boss at the contract-security company for which I work now. For now, I will be working 3 12-hour shifts during the week-end. While this is not the best situation in the world, it does give me incentive to be free of this company by the first of August, for which I was planning anyway.

at least u have a job for now!

And the LORD will surely move you, one step at a time, to where HE wants you to use your skills and talents.

I'm glad you are not angry.

Like sour fruitless brush, Stupid people are the norm, not the exception. And they CAN cause ulcers and other medical problems for those who give a darn about what they do and who they affect in the doing.

Praying for your deliverance from this bunch of the same sour fruitless sprangled, tangled, going nowhere and achieving nothing worth a flip weed infested people.

Trees like yourself need to be planted beside Living Waters and in Green Pastures, where they can spread their branches and their leaves to shelter the helpless and innocent.

I pray for a successful transplant of my Brother the Fox Granada Tree in the very near future.

Considering the Gardener in charge of that transplant, I sort of expect it will happen in due time, as soon as the Fox Tree is ready for the move.

:hug: and :pray: and :pray: and :hug: yet some more

One thing that I forgot to mention earlier is that I get a dollar raise in my pay. I'm still not in competition with Donald Trump, and I am not planning on staying with this company much longer, but this should be considerably better than the rut in which I was at the other work-site.

I talked to my human resources manager earlier this morning concerning what had happened at my former work-site. To make a really long story short, it turns out that the big cheese there really disliked me, and that he needed a nice convenient excuse to get rid of me. I provided him one this past Friday afternoon.....

Again, I am so glad that I will no longer be there. God got me out of a rut.

Then two people got what they wanted: you got your freedom -- and a very stupid man got rid of one of the best helpers he might have had had he been able to know a good man when he sees one.

:clap:

I'm glad for that pay raise. You've earned it. :)

Hello Chuck,

Perhaps your very own prayer was answered in getting you out of an unhealthy situation.

Many years ago I worked for a major Pharma Co. I simply hated working there for a wide variety of reasons. My Kids were young and I was making a ton of money so leaving just wasn't an option. Most of the 'ton' of money was made through 'tons' of overtime. I literally had no life. I worked 60 to 90 hours a week. It got my Kids through their formative years and I thank God that I was able to avail myself of the work to obtain this wherewithal.

Any regrets here? Just one; I wish I had also had the wherewithal at the time to simply walk in and avail myself of that infamous song's lyrics; "take this job and shove it"!

So....methinks you have been spared of having the same type of a regret and still have your job. The Good Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways.

Be well; and onward and upwards with God's ever unlooked for Blessings,

Jim

Nasty,hazardous job

Agreed. I had the misfortune of having ammonia leak at a different worksite many years ago. Not good at all!!!

I was talking to one of my area supervisors this past Sunday evening. I found out even more interesting things. Allegedly, the big cheese over where I worked until a week ago ordered the guard working graveyard to file negative reports on me. These reports were concerning trivial matters, such as not writing out a full incident report about my contacting the Ryder shop mechanics concerning a trailer running excessively warm. Thing was, during all this time the big cheese was all smiles when he was around me.

Can you say duplicity?!

Don't sweat it bro, it's in the past now. What is important is making that August deadline you mentioned earlier in the thread. I am praying about that.

Hang tough brother

Hey bro! :hug:
