I lost my job

Post by neo »

Well, I was a custodian in Epcot, Walt Disney World. I worked full time there, but it was so frustrating, so boring, so easy. The only challenge was how to pass the time. I was working there for almost three years, sadly I have been terminated, but only volunteerily. I had gotten a message from a man, named Max R Gold, and he told me I was referred to him by a friend of mine, Angel. Me and him were close friends, so I trusted his claim. I called him back, and he sounded very professional. I was interested, and he asked if I had my career options open, and that he would want to speak to me further. I had set up an appointment with him on the following Tuesday, at 6:45 Pm.

It actually turned out to be an overview, for a company called Primerica, which was a division of Citigroup. Of course, it was legit, just a little bit weird in how they do things. I was interested, but I was still confused. They were very vague, as to how you would get payed, and what you would be doing. Thats how they reel you in. Thing is, the regular work day consists of going to the office for meeting, and then the rest of the day we are looking for candidates to work with us. I am shy, when it comes to going up to random people and giving them a script, which basically means "want to work under me? Our company is awesome". I hated doing that, and sadly, I had went seasonal at Disney, but with short notice, so that was my fault, of course. I truly thought that business would be for me, and kept calling a job a J-O-B, but I was wrong.

So, I was terminated for not calling in for seven days, even though I requested to go seasonal. I was going to the office, working, confronting my fears, but knowing I would not get payed until I got some liscenses. I was going crazy inside, I truly saw the big mistake I made. Now, I have been looking for a job everywhere, and had not found nothing as of late, sadly. Today, I went and turned in my ID and clothes etc. I was hoping to not see my managers, but oh well, I had to turn in my ID to one. So, I met with one of my managers, Sally, and she told me I could re-apply in six months, and I said that I would do that.

So, I regret what I did. I did leave in a bad way sort of, it wasn't right. I just hope I find a job now. I feel like crap, like a failure. Everything I do I do for a while, but nothing comes out of it. I don't know what to do.

Well, if you know how I feel, please, either post a response to my story, or relate a lost job experience. If you read this, thank you for hearing me out. :)

That sucks man, sorry to hear that.

But your story needs more action. How about you adding some drama, and an arch rival.

"Sucks" has been said five times already, so I'm going to be original:

I'm sorry to hear that, dude. Losing a job can be infuriating.

You wanna know whats also infuriating? Being late on telling someone that you feel bad for them because something bad happened to them. :cry:

Why wasn't it locked? If we weren't allowed to post (bump) it, why not lock it?

Such topics aren't locked in case someone would bump it for a good reason, which wasn't the case this time.

Oh, no I haven't found a job yet, sadly. I'll be moving to Pennsylvania, and hopefully I'll get a job up there. Anyways, in these times, one doesn't know if they are safe, as in I mean if they will keep their jobs.
