    I have nothing new to add, but I would definitely be applying like you say you have been....also, always better to quit than to be fired in my book (just personal pride point). I hope it gets resolved in a favorable manner to you...hopefully you can keep if (if you like it) and if not, hopefully you find something you like more and that pays more. Good luck, man.

    Boss called later and made me the youngest assistant manager in Pacific Stereos history. My pay tripled.

    Keep your mind open, but update the resume anyway.

    GL!

    I was thinking this as well, but I'm not sure the kiddies on R3v are management material, so...

    Luke that's entirely possible, but like another poster has said...with over 3k posts in less than a year the boss knows you've been wasting his and your time on his dime.

    Polish up the resume.

    Sorry hoss, time to start looking for something else. Don't take it personally, sometimes it's out of the hands of your immediate supervisor and comes from the head honchos.

    i told him to relay that shit to me asap because i can't afford to not be working right now.
    No one can. Good Luck, and let us know the outcome, regardless. Hell I could be way off the point on this (maybe he wants to talk to you about reduction in hours scheduled) and wants to give you a verbal as well as written warning about your recent issues @ work. Though I highly doubt it, as the manor in which your boss is talking sounds exactly like a setup for termination of employment.

    if you get fired you get unemployment :) I was fired from a job becuase they hired someone that they could payless. Just because you get fired doesn't mean your doing a poor job. A couple years later the company went under, o'well.

    Hey Alan,
    I'm really curious why i was called off of work today, i haven't been getting many hours and i was on my way to work when i received that message.
    I'm not upset I'm just curious as to why and i want to know what the status of my job title is, i can't really afford to be unemployed so if it concerns the security of my job i would really like to know.
    Thank you.
    - Spencer

    what he sent me:

    Spencer,

    I usually do not like to discuss things via email. If you would like, I will be back on Wednesday and.we can meet then. Or if you want, I can repond to your questions via email. Eitherway, I am still available Wednesday.

    Alan

    i told him to tell me via email,
    getting fired? lol.
    Unfortunately, Yes.

    He is semi dodging your question via Text, because like stated before, its not professional in the first place to use this form of communication to relay messages of such nature (being terminated). Email is considered a professional way in some form, but eventually it has to be delivered verbally and written with your final pay check (as well as any owed back pay). You have to remember, when you plan to terminate an individual, you have to have all your ducks in a row, T's crossed, I's dotted so there is no mistakes. I doubt he even tells you that you have been terminated via email. His email will probably go something along the lines of, you've been suspended until further notice for said reasons (insert said reasons).

    That or Laid Off...but the way the economy is right now, and the state you work in its easier and cheaper to fire you.

    Sorry to hear this. Don't take this totally negative. Live and learn from the experience. Get back on the horse, you'll find new opportunities out there.
