I've seen this coming for a while now, no huge surprise.

You'll never guess the reason they gave.  I worked overtime, without reporting it on my time card.  Off the clock.  So I falsified my time card, which is dishonest.

Congratulations!

Getting fired isn't as bad as the news makes it seem as long you have an education in a degree greater than e-Commerce or Exercise Science.

Ironically, I was once told to make sure my time card showed that I took a full half-hour lunch, instead of the twenty minutes I was taking.

That sucks... so what was the real reason, if you don't mind sharing?  Budget problems?

That lie involved you making less money, though, so it's ok.

They gave that reason because they don't want you to come back and sue them, claiming that they made you work without pay.

Sorry to hear that, man!!  I will pray that you find a job quickly and that you're period unemployment will be short-lived and not as painful as some others have experienced.  Just don't let it get the best of you.  That job is now in the past and you are living in the present.  Just let it roll off your back like water on a duck.

Oh, and don't repeat my mistakes in my recent unemployment stint!!  Let the update thread serve as a reminder!!

Time-sheet?

I'd laugh in their face if they tried a stunt like that on me...

Yeah... if my employer ever fires me, I won't be taking it very well.  It takes a LOT to get fired from there (they just recently fired a guy for his 22nd tardy).  I've never had a no call/no show, and I've called off once my entire 5 years there (my brakes died while I was out of town).

Not exactly, but sector, but I'm pretty high up the chain, there's quite a bit of trust 'if we pay you xxxx then it's expected that' I'll do what needs to be done

Why did you expect it fritz? you mentioned it what no surprise.

Of course I would never be surprised at getting fired, I always expected at any moment - such is the nature of paid employment.

Yeah - you said as much on here. I seem to recall I agreed with you, and I wasn't the only one.

LOL. (Oh, and what Johnny L and Lunar said on that count.)

This post reads better with the "sorry to hear that, man" spelled out rather than implied, so I'm editing it in. Smiley
