Holy Hell lady… What is your problem with me? I show up, work my arse off for you… go above and beyond for you and your company every day! You’ve cut my hours nearly in half and you punish me because I no longer live around the corner. Today I was an hour and a half late (unlike all the other times I’m at least 1/2 hr early)… I could not call you because my phone and power was out, but I drove an hour and a half just to get into work. You stood at the door and waved your hand “You’ve already been replaced…” What the??? I know you want me gone, but it’ll cost ya. And the price has just gone up. —My Lawyer is Waiting

Well that bitch seems heartless …
Most employers only care about the almighty dollar. Not hard working employees. People are greedy and selfish.
Sometimes the higher-ups single out people for no good reason. I hasn’t happened to me but I’ve seen it happen to others. If you are as you say (a good, hard worker) then I wish you good luck and hope you do follow through with legal action and put bitches like this in their place!!
And find someplace who’ll appreciate your hard work…
If you’ve been ‘replaced’ without valid reason, you might have a wrongful dismissal case. You can contact the Labour Board to inquire. Otherwise, enjoy the EI money…..heck, the fishermen do.
Good ol’ sebastian the wannabe lawyer. You’re not Will Truman, bitch.
Forget about the The Labour Board — they are on the side of power and capital, not workers. You need to have labour laws and standards FIRST before you can enforce any laws and standards. And as everybody knows, NS has no labour laws nor any standards (that are real and not total BS). Hence the exploitation of our work force with such great ease; and why all talented and professional, skilled people LEAVE the province. AND the minute you start talking about laws and standards (living minimum wage, etc) BUSINESS pisses and moans about how ‘they’re going to lose money’ wah, wah, wah. The only reason why they make money is because they are legally entitled to exploit this province. IF we had laws and standards, we’d actually have to meet them. This would mean we would have to have skilled, professional, capable, ethical supervisors, managers, etc. You can see why THIS will never happen. Why would they ruin a good thing?
good for you, and the other person above, seem to have the same boss person. one rips you off, the other just replaces you. there are a number of things very wrong with their attitude. and only you and they know what they are. methinks that there is more to be told. come on o.p., enlighten all us poor bitchers here. we live for this shit, and if advice is needed, it shall come, whether good or bad.
EI money, sebastard? If OP got fired, there are no EI benefits.
The more I read your posts, ‘bastard the more I’m convinced you’re really really dumb. Fo’ real. Some of the “solutions” you come up with are wholly impractical and just…uneducated and DUMB.
In any event, OP, you might not have a case if you showed up 1.5 hours late and they fired you. It’s unfortunate, but that could be their just cause.
And forget the labour board — they work for the employer when it comes down to it. It’ll probably just cause you more frustration than its worth 🙁
This really sucks, OP, but obviously it’s some sign you need to find other employment — some people just don’t like others for no reason at all. I have this very situation where I work, except the person who doesn’t like me only THINKS they’re my supervisor so my job isn’t threatened by them — it’s just annoying because they watch my every move and make passive aggressive comments constantly. It sucks, trust me, and you don’t need that shit.
Good luck in your job search! You can do much better.
Well yes one can get a lawyer (if you can come up with the retainer usually in the $5,000 area) and the only who is going to make anything will be said lawyer.
ok wtf is it with NGF and the homophobic slurs and sebastion bashing every single post. The sebastian obsession is a little weird and creepy but the constant gay references are just unfucking called for! Oh and don’t bother with the ‘I am not a fucking homophobic loser, I have gay friends” response. Your actions are homophobic and I take great offense to you slinging hate and mixing it in with gay references on almost every fucking post!

ah… thanks for letting us go through this crap again….
air, they don’t like each other so here it is straight up.
Seb’s a gay retard who bashes on straight people and idiots alike…
and Fat is ‘sick of it’ so he responds as the straight equivalent, albeit taking a usually more aggressive approach.
both are rarely worth reading… and certainly not worth losing sleep over.
I don’t say much worth reading either so who knows if you’ll even bother getting this.
Actually, OP _can_ get EI benefits if the employer has formed a record of arbitrary firings and disputes with their former employees. It’s generally handled on a case-by-case basis, but based on what I’ve read and depending on your length of employment, it’s possible for you to be granted EI after this. Use the time off to get your soul back and to brush up some skill set, then polish the resume and get back into the job market.
well no wonder fat can’t come out to himself or anyone else with all that hate rolling around inside.. and for the record I have not seen any of this ‘straight’ bashing from sebastian.. and so the fuck what if the oppressed spit it back at the oppressors from time to time..
this is really cool
