Phil told me about this today. That's one of the most completely BS firings I've ever heard of. That said, I have no doubt you'll be a lot happier when you get a job that doesn't involve working for that idiot. Best of luck, Chris.

Chris,
What a bummer man. I have four words that get me through all the hard times I have had in my nearly fifty years - "This too, will pass." Good luck.

Damn...That is rotten to the core. Good luck in finding a job. God closes doors to show us open ones.

Respect for the religious beliefs expressed in this thread prevent me from saying what I normally would. Anyway, see how well he does now without you. Sounds like he was going into the toilet already and now he's one step closer.

[Smoky Contemplation]

Sorry to hear, Chef. I'm sure that something better will come along.

[heftysmokes]

That's a huge bummer, Chris. I think you should report him as well, not just for yourself, but to protect the next guy who ends up working for him.
Don't get too down and remember everything happens for a reason. There's a great opportunity waiting for you right around the corner.

Truer words were never spoken. I feel for ya man........you'll pull through it fine. Lean on Sarah and the book....both will prop you up.

[nhcigarfan]

That blows. I think you should report him.

[King Catfish]

Sorry to hear about that. You seem to be taking it with a good attitude. BTW, if any of his actions are documented, you could have quite the case in court. Several of the things you mention him doing are not acceptable employment practices, I think.

If any of the managers in my workplace acted in this way they would be fired very quickly if these actions were documented, but I work for a very large company that is very careful about these things.

Again, sorry to hear it. Perhaps a better opportunity will come up and you will be happier. Working for a crappy boss really sucks.

Got a job interview Friday with DirectTv.
Cross your fingers.

I somehow missed this thread, but that really sucks. Sounds like it may have been for the best though. Good luck with the hunt.

i agree with everyone else, and if what you are saying is true, and have some sort of documentation...it should be an easy win...

i worked at a fancy restaurant as a valet...and the manager was a complete idiot, and would come out side and bitch at me for stuff that i had absolutly nothing to do with (like wat goes on in the kitchen) hell, he wouldnt let any of the valet's get any food, or even a glass of water, or even use the toilet, we had to go piss in the bushes, and drink water out of the hose (no joke, workin in the summer and winter sucked) and when it is 0 degrees out side, even when there is only one customer left to leave at the end of the night, we had to stand outside in the cold.

SO after a while, i got sick, and i ended up having to quit because standing out in the cold every night was just making me worse

Douchebag bosses run businesses into the ground, luckily the owner (David Burke whose a famous chef in NY) booted the asshole, because he quickly realized that the asshole had no idea what he was doing, and was constantly making everyone feel like shit who worked in the restaurant and the new guy who is cool. im thinkin of going back in the summer

Moral of the story, this douchebag will pay his dues. what goes around comes around! dont worry, things might work out for the better dont worry, you'll find another job(maybe better than the last with more $$).
