I was recruited by the owner of a medium-sized remodeling company after he suffered a heart attack. During his absence, the company was mismanaged and fell into the red by around $400,000. Embracing the challenge, I accepted his offer to become the general manager.

In our first month, we achieved a net of $225,000; the second month brought in $300,000. By the third month, we had turned things around, showing a profit of $125,000. Every month after that, we consistently achieved a remarkable net profit of $325,000.

At the end of the year, the owner's daughter's new husband relocated from another state. With some construction knowledge, they appointed him as the new general manager, which meant I lost my position. They took my company, Land Rover, leaving me without transportation—a tough situation with three kids in diapers and a stay-at-home wife.

When I walked in and shared the news with my wife, her immediate response was, "What are we going to do?" I reminded her about a small box filled with slips of paper. As she went to find it, I called an outside sales rep friend and asked if he needed any replacement window appointments. We agreed on a straight commission, with me receiving 10% of the sales volume.

With determination, I took the box of names and phone numbers—some were 6 to 7 years old—grabbed our cordless house phone, sat at the corner of our bed, and generated 24 sales in 27 days, totaling over $160,000. The rep came by and handed me a check for just over $16,000, and I asked him if he would mind taking me to the car dealership. #motivation #termination

In most cases its pretty hard to get fired from the state. I hade to fall in the 3% if even that many. they offer more lifetime hiring, they want me book so i have to not shoot myself in the foot here. I was being sexually assaulted and became homeless. i was asking for an accommodation since i kept getting re-admitted to the hospital. My dad dies from coronavirus. My director told me they do not have such accommodation. i asked for portable wifi so i didn't have to connect at local coffee shops. I had to sell my house and lost my car when they Repo it. i told her she needs to forward my request to Accommodations specialist, she cant make that decision. i recorded without consent. #termination

Director of Recruiting, 9th Way Insignia

I had a coworker that went out to lunch with her team on her first day of work. She started moaning in a weird way at lunch and creeped everyone out. The manager let her go at the end of the day.

#unemployment #termination #advice I'm currently am and have been under Doctor care for PTSD,GAD,and dysthymic disorder. I don't remember if I ever disclosed the information to the other but Friday I was terminated from my job because of my anxiety attack,but they put it as they didn't like my behavior. I did make it known to my supervisor that I was off one of my medications. I am not even sure what to do from here,even if it means fighting for the position back which I highly doubt will happen.

I reported to my boss over a month ago I was harassed and twice I was purposely hurt by my supervisor. I voice recorded the conversation. She stated she didn’t want to hear a complaining session and ask for me to get back to work. The harassment continued and last week I had enough and confronted the supervisor harassing me. The next day the owner pulled me to the side and asked me what happened. So I explain. I told him about my about my supervisor and that I reported to my boss and what she had said. This was reported last Wednesday night. This Sunday I was terminated. I have all of this recorded and text. The company I work for deals with festivals and party events. Mind you they have and are covering up this and my boss is the city council and the owner is the county I live in state representative. I need help. #termination

I don't want to hide the fact that I was terminated, but I don't want it to be a red flag either being that it was a wrongful termination. I also don't want to talk negatively about my previous employer no matter how unfairly I might have been treated especially since aside from unfairly treated I really did love my previous job. How might I best go about explaining a past unfortunate situation without throwing a negative light onto myself? #termination #advice #interview #application

I recommend seeking legal advice for wrongful termination. You can consider contacting Jobcase Legal Services or other legal aid organizations for help in finding representation. Good luck in your search!
