Things I wish I would’ve said when I was being fired
Boss: We can tell you’re not very fired up about the job
Me: Oh man, you’re right. I wonder what’s wrong with me? I mean, so many exciting things about this job. Let’s see there’s
Watching flashing objects and videos of animals on dual LCD monitors, fighting the urge to fall asleep
Retesting extremely heavy, poorly designed products as a “favor to the customer”
Trying to pull the metal shielding off of a 3-phase very high voltage wire…I sweated more that day than the day I moved all those rocks, so Bonus!
Being surrounded by ex-military people with or without 2-year technical degrees, that at this point probably couldn’t place into algebra
Being harassed about filling out some form, that I was incorrectly shown how to fill out in the first place
Receiving probably some of the worst training, from multiple parties, of how to do my job in general
Being forced to be a third-wheel for the most part at the other job site, instead of contributing to the first project, since I’ve been here, that was actually challenging
…so much to be fired-up about. I hope I have this same kind of opportunity at my next job.
