This is still driving me nuts. |

I just think it's so stupid that I was let go for using the stairs. I wish I had known. .:banghead: My father thinks someone really wanted me out of there, though

Am I understanding this correctly? You used the stairs...and you were fired for it?

I wish someone had told me I wasn't allowed to.

4. What kind of place is this? |
|
And why can't you use the stairs?

6. It was a Customer Service job |
|
apparently for security reasons, but the first day I was told was the day I was let go.

10. That's the most idiotic rule I think I've ever heard... |
|
And I've heard some doozies.
You're better off...if they're gonna be like that about the stairs, who knows WHAT else they'd come up with. Rules for using the toilet paper. Rules for the amount of hand soap you can use. Rules about how far you can stretch the phone cord.
And I'd hate to imagine what would happen if you got back from lunch thirty seconds late...
Yup...you're better off.

11. your dad is probably right |
|
somebody else who is sleeping w. the right higher up wants the job you got
it isn't anything you did, someone wanted to give that job to somebody else
stop blaming yourself, they would have made up something else
that's part of work place politics sometimes and it sucks but self-blame is a waste of time, you did nothing wrong

14. That is the weirdest thing that I have ever heard. |
|
I would think that they would want people that sat at desks all day to use the stairs. Isn't that like encouraging employees to go to the gym? :shrug:

the one about the pirate in the bar, with the wooden leg, eye patch, hook for a hand and steeringwheel sticking out of his pants.
Not using the stairs, being fired for it, sounds really weird. Sorry for it to happen.
