Shit heads! I call bullshit!
Same here. He was never even written up and has been their top producer since he went on the phones. They were going to promote him 2 months ago. He's always received the highest bonus in his department consistently.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
(But if he starts telling Matilda that she's cute, but unfortunately, she's made of meat, you might have need to worry.)
Yes, there was much discussion about the importance of sarcasm and meat.
I'm generally pretty low-key, keep to myself at work (if you can believe it). Just now I heard a couple of co-workers tossing a ball. I have a UCLA basketball on my shelf that my GF got for me. I grabbed it and went running into the hallway where co-workers were playing bouncing my b'ball. They about fell out they were laughing so hard. HA!
They misunderestimated you!

Totally legal, Cali being an at-will employment state at all. They could have just fired him for not wearing the right shirt or because someone was in a bad mood.

Because books.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
{{Aimee}} I'm sorry. Even when it's crazy, it never makes you feel good to be fired. I hope Joe finds something fantastic soon.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
They fired him for "attendance reasons" because he stayed home to take care of Em and me for 3 days last week.
What the fuck?

All kinds of job~ma to Joe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That is fucking ridiculous. Especially after what you said about his having a good history there. That makes no sense at all. You don't just FIRE someone for that.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Crap, crap, crap, Aimee and Joe. Much ~ma for finding a brilliant new job which is much better than that one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What everyone else said. Utter, steaming, heartless horseshit. (Also, insert standard rant about our culture's nauseating lip-service to the all-important family coupled with its willingness to cheerfully dick over anyone who actually makes his or her family a priority.)
Joe deserves so much better. You all do. His ex-employers are a bunch of fuckbuckets.
