Work/Fired


Question Posted Wednesday February 13 2008, 10:58 pm

ok i have been working this job for a year but i was not making enough money to just work there so i got another job...my boss was cool about it but i needed off 2 days to train but then i found out i needed another day off so i did not want to ask off for that job another day so i asked off to help my sister when i was really training...Well i got off and i went to train well my boss called my other job asking if i was there and when they said yes he fired me... i was wondering if you think it is right that he called my other job? I mean i gave him a reason that should be good enough its my personal life.

My parents own several businesses, and if they had been put in the position of your boss, they would have fired you too. Actually, they would have fired you as soon as you even asked off work in the first place to train for another job, not even including the fact that you lied.

Bosses aren't as dumb as you might think.

It would have been a good enough reason in your personal life, if it had been true.

But it was a lie, so no, it wasn't good enough.

Lying to an employer, about anything, can always get you fired.

I don't think is was right of him to do that, but you definitely shouldn't have lied about it. It sounds to me like your other boss was just looking for a random excuse to fire you and you gave him the perfect opportunity. To answer your question, though, it was kind of odd for him to do that to you.

In the future, don't feel like to have to make up excuses to go train for another job. Tell them what happened, you made a mistake, and offer to take extra hours another time if they get pissed at you.

If you are upset about this, maybe you could go and try to talk thinks out with the boss that fired you and you could apologize and ask for another chance.

well, i dont think you should have lied either. some people are very picky about liars and he wanted to make sure thats what you were really doing. i dont see anything bad about his choice.
