Entry: OMG, WTF Just Happend Tuesday, May 04, 2004
Before I get into the "OMG, WTF Just Happened title", I want to say that I got back from Wisconsin, and had a really good time. Not that there is all that much to do there, but it was really cool to be able to finally meet up with Cassie for the first time. We mostly just drove around and talked, but all and all it was a fun. So anyways.... to get back to the title "OMG, WTF Just Happened" -- I get back from FL and went to meet Cassie for the weekend. Needless to say, I missed some work. No big deal right? I took the time off weeks in advance, and had my supervisor’s approval. Turns out that the number of sales I made was pretty low (since I wasn’t at work very much this month). So anyway... I go into work my first day back from Wisconsin, sit down at my desk, and try to sign in. I kept getting this error message and it wouldn’t let me into the computer. I call up the Tech Guy (Kim) and ask him to fix it for me (He can usually fix it from where ever he is via the network). He tells me that he can't fix it, and I have to talk to Ed (the CEO, AKA the owner of ISoldMyHouse.com) Now this guy (Ed) is no computer genius, so I already know that something is up. Instead of going to Ed, I go to Tim, my supervisor, (Who I get along with very well) and tell him that I cant get into my computer, and Kim is telling me that I have to talk to Ed in order to get it fixed. My supervisor looks at me and says that he knows, he just got out of Ed’s office and Ed wants him to fire me, but he is going to go back in and fight it for me. In the mean time Tim let me sign into the computer under his username and told me to try and make a sale. I sit down, and he goes back to talk with Ed. I call up one of my customers and Bingo I get him to buy $500.00 worth of ads. I go to tell Tim, and he looks at me and says there was nothing he could do... I was PISSED! They just fired me for absolutely no reason at all, and the biggest thing is that I wasn’t even hired as a salesman. I was hired as a customer service rep. There is nothing that says that I have to meet any sort of quota for a month or ever! On my way out I almost put my fist through the front glass door.
I'm over it now though I was going to be quitting in a month or two anyway for school.
