Freeker Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Went into work today only to be hauled into a meeting...about me. There reasoning consisted of a handful of isolated incidents (being late, being in a bad mood, etc..) It's so infuriating to know how much money I made for that fucking company only to be tossed aside in their typical "revolving door" style of mangment (I was the third box office manager in the last year) That place is mis-managed so bad,they treat the theatre like their own little juvenile clubhouse, and as soon as something doesn't mesh, it's gone. So now that I'm fucked, I have to make some serious decisions, like finding a job before I'm forced to move away from Ottawa, not something I'm at all interested in doing. Anyone have any ideas on possible work in Ottawa - Advertising and Marketing educated, as well as some IT, bartender certified, mangement experience accounting skills etc... Also anyone know how to file for pogie in Ontario, and what the requirements are? Or if anyone has a cheap handgun they'd like to rent out for the afternoon, email me at...just kidding, I'm not that disgruntled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Sheeet. Sorry to hear about the loss Freeker. Working for a company where idiots are running things isn't a good environment to be in, in the long run. I'll keep the ol' eyes and ears open around Ottawa. I certainly don't want to see you go anywhere. I did all my EI crap right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Oh my................ I'm sorry to hear that. We gotta all work together and ensure you stay here in Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I'm sorry you're feeling down my man, but don't fret too much. There's always something out there. Poke your nose around and so will everyone here. Options will come. This may be the best thing that's happened to you in a long time. That said, getting canned is one of the best reasons ever to spend an afternoon getting loaded. And you can sleep in tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 You should be able to get on pogey. You'll need your record of employment. http://www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/ae-ei/dem-app/english/home2.html Don't forget to use a little of your new found free time for a little fun. It's not very often that we find ourselves with a bunch of free time, make lemon-aid! Good luck with your job hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 How about a wrongful dismissal suit? Just because you were late and were in a bad mood once or twice, you get fired?!? Sounds like bullshit to me. It's not like you were still in that 3 month trial period or anything. I figure you have nothing to lose if you explore a suit, try Legal Aid or something...

Ms.Huxtable Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Hey Trev. Sorry to hear about that man. I was thinking about you the other day because Bouche and I will be going to see Chris and Kate at the GCTC soon. Too bad you just made me hate that place. Grrrrrrr. I'll be sure to be a rude venue patron, (but a polite audience member). As others have said before, and from my own experience, being fired often leads to opportunities that are much better. EI will get you through and allow you to enjoy this well deserved time off. I'll keep my eyes open for opportunities none the less. You can't leave Ottawa, that's for damn sure. Chin up and good vibes. (((((Trevor)))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezy Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 That sucks. I lost my job as well...

Stapes Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Sucky Trev, I'll keep my ear to the ground for ya. I could probablly get you in to CAA if you want. Which you probabbly don't. It's kinda like kindergarten here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
