Jobs Unlimited Can . . . . . .
Posted by macbros | Under Work | 321 views Wednesday Nov 5, 2008
Well as of 9:45am, I am unemployed.
I was working away trying to get things ready for lunch. Busy, but on time.
Last month, approximately 200 hours of work time ago, I was told I have 200 hours probation to get four things improved. Four things that I was totally oblivious to knowing that I was doing incorrectly, because the manager of the Deli failed to inform me that I was not performing to their standards. So OK, she dropped the ball, and I knew what I had to improve upon. No big deal, because I knew I could do it.
- Breakfast items such as muffins and cinnamon buns to be out on display by 7:30am DONE!
- Daily menu items ready for the oven by 9:00am DONE!
- Get involved with catering orders and assume a sense of ownership. DONE!
- Preparation towards the end of the day for the next day. DONE!
Everything seemed to be fine. I was doing what I was asked to do. I wasn’t told that I was doing anything wrong, even though I asked deli manager if everything was fine, and she said, “yea, all is fine.”
I did all that was expected of me, and then some. All on my own without help. I busted my balls to make everybody happy!
But I get this as their reason, “Your employment with Jobs Unlimited has been terminated due to general unsuitability for the position.”
I feel bad about the clients and I will actually miss them. They were a happy group of individuals and that’s why I loved that job so much. That was the first job that I actually enjoyed getting up in the morning to go to, despite my grumblings of actually having to get up and go INTO work. I’ll miss it and the co-workers that I got along with.
I just wish I had somebody there that could have spoke up and defended me and actually gave a shit. If there was, I probably would still be working there.
Well, for what’s it’s worth, Thanks Scamp for getting me the job, but I guess I just didn’t fit in with the crowd.
Time to go and let it all sink in now.

That really sucks!
Maybe you should start doing web development again? I read on JR’s blog that somebody made one of your ideas for a blogging service or something, so you must be on the right track.
Though, if money is tight then I don’t know..
Good luck finding a new job. From the sounds of it, I’d be glad to be out of that job, they sound like assholes
ChrisTheFerals last blog post..PROXIES NOT ALLOWED! [UPDATE!!!]
Yeah Mac, why not do that? How about doing jobs together? We’d kick ass.
theenglishguys last blog post..Digitalis WordPress Theme Release
@ChrisTheFeral – One job, requires FULL TIME JOB! of a voice over job with a piece of paper that stats that I”m good. Plus a place they live since I won’t be living here later on…
@MacBros – @theenglishguy – ALSO A Place of redisence.
haha you worked with drooling idiots all day? THATS where you worked? I’d rather flip burgers at McDonalds.
That sucks Mac! So sorry to hear you struggling. They have any Wal-Marts in Canada? I’m serious about that- my sister worked their deli/bakery a couple of years and they have really good benefits etc…
Dianes last blog post..Napalm in the Morning
do they have Walmarts in Canada????
No they usually only build those where they have running water and electricity.
Yikes. I wonder if this is a good time to move in with a relative until you can get back on your feet? That way maybe you can take more time to find the right job/apartment? I dunno. It sucks.
@Uhh Yeah – I don’t for one minute laugh at what they are or do there.
@Diane – I’m actially resorting to the Call Center world again. EVEN THOSE are strict on hiring these days. YIKES
@teeni – MOM and Dad are there, but I would really like to try to do this on my own or with my siblings. MOM and Dad (god forbid) will not always be there.
I hear you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayer, Mac.
@teeni – Keiths is helping me at the moment. Not productively, but mentally.
I’m sorry to hear that, John. There are many jobs waiting for you out there. You need to be serious a bit with jobs and to be serious with your life a bit. You deserve a future.
Sorry to hear the news John. Please don’t judge all employees by your unfortunate experience with a few.
@ Uhh Yeah. With an attitude like yours, I wonder if you aren’t a drooling idiot. I think someone must have dropped you on your head at birth. Get fucking real would you asshole. Even McDonald’s dont’ hire idiots like you.
@Scamp – I’m not judging, I actually got along with everybody. There is just one co-worker that you know who I don’t much care for.
LMAO!!! No really Mac! How DO you feel about her?
Dianes last blog post..Napalm in the Morning
@Diane – *name removed* is actually a guy. But I think he’s a really big poo-poo head. A real pile of steamy
The sad thing is that employers like that wouldn’t know a dick from a baseball bat if it was staring them right in the face.
I guess because you were on probation, you can’t go to the Union and file a complaint or something.
It’s easy for me to say “oh, don’t worry, this is an opportunity for something better” but I’m not in your shoes because if I was, my shoes would be full of worry-shit right now.
Will check back more regularly to see how things progress.
Here in Vancouver, we’re expecting 100 mm of rain today — oh, yes winter is upon us and I’ll be watching the sump pump in my crawl space as the sewer lines won’t handle that amount of rain — of that I am sure because it’s happened before.
The joys of living in the rain forest…
Larrys last blog post..Commentluv contest more than a peck on the cheek
@Larry – I am in worry shit right now actually. Need any hobbits to fill in that rain forest of yours. I’m available, and do kids parties too!
Ah Stop the Worry stuff. You just gain more expeance. Work with it. Your more then just a short order cook now. .But if you want to do the call stuff think Skill Soft . As for UI . Your most likely have to fight for it .Don’t see you losing out on it thou. As you wern’t really fired vs let go. Or how ever he put it. Anyway you know my # if your in a money jam . Parents or not an option
I Knew Scamp would jump all over Uhh Yeah. Thats my girl. Spots an idiot.
@Other Mac – Usually, I can understand you.. but thi comment has me saying, “WTF?”
Humm.. cross your eye’s . Stick your finger up your butt . Like your being screwed . And read again
@Scamp i’m far from drooling idiot.You’re all a fucking drain on the tax system. And if i ever met you i’d drop you on your fucking head.
Other Mac you shouldnt be talking about idiots at all asshole. I got tube socks smarter than you.
@Scamp – @Other Mac – @Uhh Yeah –
Sorry Guys. I meant to moderate that when it initially started. But whats been said has been said. Lets just let it stop where it is please.
Read the blue text beside the ‘Add Comment’ button.
I know I should have gotten the first attack off, but it totally slipped my mind as you can imagine. I have bigger things to worry about.
consider it stopped John. feel free to remove my posts.
Sorry to hear about your job, Mac
With your multiple skills, hopefully it won’t take long to find a new position. I’m glad you have family you can depend on, but I know what you mean about wanting to be self-sufficient. Just don’t be too proud to ask when you do need help.
@skye – Skills don’t seem to mean anything these days. It’s a piece of Paper that says you have skills and paid lots of money to learn in school. Nothing to do with experience and talent these days.
OH I have already asked for a bit of help. My kitty cats needed food and clean litter.
