Words of advice for the suddenly unemployed

[Treebeard]

If you suddenly find yourself unemployed because you are a total and constant screw-up, do not slam your old boss and employer on Facebook, and in the same instance ask said boss if they would be willing to provide a reference, especially if your Facebook profile is open for the entire planet to view. Some people really don't have a clue!

Are you the screw up or the boss? LOL :twised:

[pterfloth]

LOL. I'll try to remember that, although, a couple of years ago, when I wrote my bosses' boss to tell him that my boss was a constant and complete screwup, I got promoted.

[Treebeard]

Ha! Neither...this time! My significant other is the boss.

LOL, damn. some people deserve to be fired I guess

+1 if you're dim witted enough to pull that, then your credibility as an employee is a bit tanked.

That said this does bring up the debate regarding personal privacy vs. access to a limitless resource of knowledge (internet). but let's not go there?

lol I told my boss outright in an interview that I thought my production line job was mindlessly repetitive! But then again in a lumber mill you wouldn't even get fired for telling your boss to $%@&-off... you'd probably just get a few days suspension.
