Termination stories
I went to work for a company named Vulcan Materials in Atlanta Ga in their mail room. After six weeks I was called into the office and basically was told I wasn't doing the job right and that I had made a lot of mistakes. I asked "You're going to fire me"? and the mean eyed HR woman just looked at me. My manager after telling me I was a nice man said "We weren't going to use that word".
Going into the mail room to gather my things my former manager said "We're sorry". I said "you aren't as sorry as I am" On the way to the elevator the manager said "again we're sorry" I said "again you aren't as sorry as I am".
I had befriended the secretary and had had a few very pleasant conversations with her. She realized what was happening and got a horrified expression on her face. I had eye contact with her while on the elevator until the door closed and I never saw her again.
I left utterly amazed and not in a good way. I felt horrified.
Anyone who works for HR is scum that represents the company and not the employees. These individuals relish what they conceive as power, in reality they are trash and eventually end up getting canned too.
You got laid off for poor work. That’s the story?
Fired for alleged mistakes.
You must work for them.
The HR woman is on a Government watch list. Go figure.
