Lost my job today

submitted by PenisEnvy to whatever 2 monthsFeb 21, 2025 21:01:18 ago (+53/-1)     (whatever)

Recently I had an amputation of my lower left leg. Finally home and getting used to everything again. Today I received an email stating that my services will be no longer required at their company due to the fact I am not an able bodied person. I call my guys I know there and they all knew about it. Got the good luck and you'll find something else spiel. There are lots of different jobs there like cable splicers, rigging inspection, site mapping, etc, that do not require being able to run or carry huge weight. They flushed me like a used toilet paper. Granted going from crew leader to maintenance or whatever would burst my ego, but fuck.

It isn't like I have worked with this company that long but I did not expect to get cut like that. On my phone there is more than 60 numbers of places that would take me for my machining and cnc skills alone, not my first choice of professions though. But the place I was working at paid the most insane money. And I have all the things I need to travel doing pipeline work or the like.

Got a decent nest egg to live on till I get normal and I carry my own insurance so not worrying about that. Just a wakeup call I guess to not get too comfortable in life because things can change fast. Be careful fellow goats and take care of yourselves.

Collect unemployment and disability and get paid to go to school for "retraining." You've paid into those programs. Use them.

I remember in college some older guy I think 50s got sent back to college for some extra training. He would sit in his little ford ranger with the windows rolled up blasting rock music and smoking joints. They still made him live in a dorm which was kinda funny.

I totally get it, but there are many programs you can do at different “schools,” especially community colleges. My school had degrees in automotive mechanics and welding. You could definitely enter a two year program, FOR FREE, and go another route. Don’t give up, goat.

It's hilarious how this always gets downvoted along with shoplifting, not paying taxes etc.

Every day we see a post about how whites are a net positive and shitskins never pay a positive into taxes. Yet whites haven't figured it out that THEY are directly funding this shit.

Take a break. Collect some money YOU paid into this fake and gay system. Steal a steak.

Unless you live in a society devoid of shitskins and only shop at a company owned and staffed by whites, take from them. You deserve it.

Fuck, sorry man. I have been looking for a new gig for some months now; almost got one, made it through all three interviews, and somehow managed to get beat at the last moment by the one other guy to also make it that far. Fingers crossed that I eventually hear back from them if that guy doesn't work out for some reason.

Good luck to you, man.

Yeah. Fuck that guy!

But I choked on that last interview, which was a scary team ting. Although they were all super cool guys, it started with a bunch of technical issues on my side due to running older than a decade old hardware and trying to do too much all at once... with kubernetes still running in the backround [derp... but I thought that was going to come in handy, for some dumb reason]. So as opposed to 'cocky' as I had been for the other interviews, I started out kind of shaken from the beginning. It was all problem solving and troubleshooting, which I am comfortably good at on linux systems, so if I had managed to keep my cockiness rather than a bad case of nerves, I am pretty sure I'd have gotten it.

Both the manager of the team and the HR guy both asked if I'd still be available if something came up, so that/s nice at least. The only other possible is stupid spacex... ugh. Finally got a positive response from their HR people, but they're horrible, so whatever. But a job's a job.

Hey bro. I work at a company. And all companys are pretty gay these days. But we used to be pretty cool at one time even though never my thing. But here I am and if you can stomach fancy colored hats I could probably deliver your resume to the right place. Heil Satan or sonething

[ - ] Ragnar 1 point 2 monthsFeb 22, 2025 09:25:17 ago (+1/-0)

Aah man I feel ya!
One thing I learned is being cocky the best way to get the job.
Of course you gotta be good at it because otherwise you may get the job but not keep it. I have seen a billion eyesore pajeets and beans acting cocky af in interviews and getting hired but they are usually shit at the job. They either get fired or they float if the company is bloated.

Take the spacex job. It’s gay but it pays. I myself considered it briefly but I got another one I wanted. We all need money in this economy. It sucks that most options are gay and retarded but we gotta feed our family

Do not get me wrong goats. As soon as my new tread is good to go I really want to get back to doing something. Been nearly 2 months and it is definitely not my cup of tea to sit around. I have insurance that pays better than my unemployment and also I saved for this rainy day. More or less afraid of being useless...

Your state probably has a People With Disabilities branch that you could talk to if you want to get rich quick for being fired.

I understand that it's wrong to use that.
We are all supposed to be living by a fair set of rules. But we have become the minority. And by us playing by our rules instead of their's, we're just screwing ourselves over.

disability doesnt pay shit. it takes months if not years to get on it and then if you do get a good job you have to pay it back in some cases. so fuck that

[ - ] Not_C 0 points 2 monthsFeb 22, 2025 02:49:59 ago (+0/-0)

I'm not suggesting you apply for disability.
I'm suggesting that you get the disabled rights people to help you to sue the company for firing you because you're disabled.

Those disabled rights people have been whining and complaining for decades. And politicians are too scared to stand up against them. They've gotten tons of laws passed to "protect" disabled people's rights. (Which is the polite way of saying that disabled people can sue the fuck out of companies that don't bend over backwards for them.)

That's why I said that if you wanted to go down that path, you could get rich quick.

I'm an IT support monkey. Have plenty of certs, degree, etc. The job market is abysmal right now in my space. Two recruiters have told me in the past couple of months that they are getting 200 resumes for every req. that opens up. I am working right now, but I have made more money - can I complain? No. Happy to have a gig. I think things are about to get REALLY bad with the economy. You might want to look into angling for disability and trying to finagle some under the table work machining part time. Just a thought, but I do wish you luck. I wish us all luck because I think my worst fears about a global collapse might be around the corner

If by useful you are referring to trade work, I worked on a framing crew for 10 years. Built my current house, built my last house. Was a self-employed builder / roofer. You want to talk about an influx of replacement labor to take over traditionally good-paying honest work take a stroll onto ANY residential or commercial development and gaze upon the swarms of bazillions of Brazilians, Chileans, ..you name the central or south American country, they come up here and collect welfare and EBT WHILE getting serious under-the-table bank for a few years, send it all back home, then head back and fucking retire. Brazilians OWN the roofing industry in the North East, they'll put 25 bodies on a 30 square job, strip and re-roof in a day and do it for 1/3 of what I would need to make it worth my while trying to keep things above board with workmans comp insurance. Trust me brother, i've seen replacement labor take work away from us all, in many different fields

Not entirely sure about that one, reasonable accommodations are typically a thing that must be stated before employment. It was also a non work related injury. He can probably get unemployment for awhile & also disability, but I don't see what's illegal here.

[ - ] Love240 3 points 2 monthsFeb 21, 2025 21:08:46 ago (+3/-0)

I suspect it would be around the 'reasonable accommodations' thing.

Outright firing someone in that circumstance without that consideration might well be illegal.

Okay ask a lawyer. It's not illegal. It's not nice and depending on the state may not even get you unemployment but illegal it is not.

That's pretty scary to think about if you had had your insurance with them.

He're something I don't get. The left will highlight specific tropes of history about how it was wrong that an employer would house people because then people couldn't lose a job without being homeless, or how wrong it was that companies in remote areas would have a company store that would eat away people's income. But they also want all employers to offer insurance at a rate that makes it non-compeditive to get it independent of your employer for most people, and they think that bundling is great.

Man, that’s rough….sorry you’re going through such a difficult chapter in your life. Although it seems you get it already, you’re a fairly positive and confident person, so you realize the only person you can count on in life is yourself, just don’t forget, God is here too, and he’s listening even if it doesn’t seem as though he is sometimes. We have to ask for God’s guidance and be open to receiving his message, accept the signs and coincidences you’ll see shortly after asking for what those things are, that’s how God speaks to us most of the time, synchronicity…..he’s showing you the best path forward if you are listening. Any way, I’m pulling for you, and I’d love to hear an update a few months from now….I’m praying for you too, bruv. God bless.

Been here before, and I can offer advice.

Used to work for Weis Markets and I got a workplace injury, fucked up my spine. First off did you file FMLA?

This will make it easier in adjudication if you did, if you didn't that is ok as well. Tommrow morning make an appointment for unemployment.

Next is to find a I don't get paid unless you do. POND LEE HOCKEY is who I used, takes a year, but your insurance will only pay for 6 to 9 months.

Unemployment will pay for 9m too.

If you want more explanation of the steps just ask.

"taint" is a vulgar slang term for the perineum, which is the area between the anus and genitals. [Library Service]

Oh you are an unpleasant little man!

That is bad news but don't burn your bridges with your former employer. When things have settled down contact them again about work.

Shit man, sorry to hear that. They didn't even offer you a different position with the requisite title and salary change? Sounds like a company that doesn't give a fuck about its people.

Oy Vey, find a good attorney. Seems like a slam dunk case.
I hope things turn.out even better for you than if you kept working there.
Stays strong brother

Just a wakeup call I guess to not get too comfortable in life because things can change fast.

Good luck nigherfaggot.

I thought i had a training job locked in last week (my old career was fucking stoked) blew up the minute i mentioned it to someone else.

Start a nrw scaffolding job monday. It pays to have licenses you dont think youll use again.

I DONT KNOW IF THERE IS A US EQUIVALENT LOOK UP WHAT CERTIFICATE IV TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT IS IN AUSTRALIA - And see if there is something like that over there.

Im qualified to instruct anything im qualified to perform, went with first aid.

@PenisEnvy can you apply your experience and quals to making a job training others

If you can, do it, youll love it.

Never forget that to any company you are always expendable. The company will never care. You might have a boss or manager that cares but the company never will.

I would strongly suggest you discuss the text of your termination email with a lawyer familiar with disability law, even in an at-will State--- regardless of whether the injury was received at work or not, since you are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act being an amputee. They are required by law to provide reasonable accommodation for your circumstance, before they are allowed to terminate you---so terminating you while on medical leave and potentially trying to avoid having to accommodate your circumstance may have been less-than-legal on their part.

They can't fire you. If they can't find you bro.

Just a wakeup call I guess to not get too comfortable in life because things can change fast. Be careful fellow goats and take care of yourselves.

Every day expect to be fired or quit. I have told many a coworker this and many an employer as well. And true to my word I have gotten fired more than once, and even more times I have quit a job.

I've been 'self-employed' now for decades and tell my customers the same thing when they get uppity. (I will even provide them with the names of my competitors.)

Never get yourself into a situation in which you are not prepared to walk away from. Excuses notwithstanding, you cannot be enslaved when you realize you have nothing to lose. Never let anybody control you.

In Canada that would be discrimination on prohibited grounds. Employers have a duty to accomodate up to the point of undue hardship. It would likely be the case that if you lived in Canada you could fight for your job back (with some level of modified duties).

Where were you working out of? The US?

You could probably try to wrestle your job away from 5 well funded poos

It is also illegal to discriminate based on disabilities in the US.
