    Its really hard to stay positive when you are being treated unfairly

    • @AdemirAlijagic
      @AdemirAlijagic 4 года назад +85

      People who treat you like this just don't deserve your time, nor your attention, nor your worries. I have been treated like shit by my previous boss and the best I can do now is to be happy, to thrive and work for my dreams.
      I wish you the best :)

      Ademir Alijagic exactly I went through this too and went through absolute hell for 14 months till they discarded me today after all my hard work and all my old employers I’m still close with. It was shocking. Their behavior says more about them than about you. They have put several people as “not good enough” in my position. They expect you to read minds it’s laughable. When I asked about what performance they were talking about it was an example of a time they wanted me to do something they never communicated and I would have no way of knowing, good riddens. I wish the next luck. They set people up to fail.

      Just leave an accurate, concise and non emotional review on Glassdoor. If you don't want retaliation wait a bit or incorporate snippets from other reviews so your writing style and vocabulary choice can't be easily ferreted back to you.

    I was let go from my job today for apparantly "not being up to the standards expected from their employees", despite the fact that some of the things they expect wasn't made clear during my time there. It was the first time I was ever fired from a job, which kinda sucks, but that's okay because I tried my best, and it was their decision at the end of the day. I know that something better is on the horizon, so let's do this....

      Mugaka Murakumo yes happened to me too for the first time ever today and it’s bs. I stuck up for myself bc of how I was being treated for 14 months and they told me I wasn’t a fit. Yea a fit for your abuse. lol. I had a past employer offer me a job last week again so maybe it’s a sign. I actually have a good relationship with most past employers to the point they’d hire me again, so their loss.

      Unfortunately, whether it was a "good" thing or not, is entirely dependent on whether something better is available.
      In the mean time, getting fired at all permanently taints a person in all future job searching. Recruiting processes all demand to know, "have you ever been fired from anything?" It's a stigma you can never erase.
      Because of that, it would be so much better to have proactively found that less toxic work environment already, and be the one to make the current toxic environment go away by your own choice.

      I understand , but try not to let them live in your head tent free . Just try to insulate yourself in the future from being taking advantage of . Work to get bills paid a few months in advance if you can do you have a buffer if you quit or get fired . If you can not say no or negotiate your little more than a slave .

    I was fired in early 2020 and instead of getting a new job, I decided to leave the corporate rat race and instead become an entrepreneur. I started selling my hobby illustrations on Instagram, and soon after I started teaching other people how to sell their passion projects online. Today I'm happily running my online business, set my own time, never worked harder, and never been happier! Getting fired was one of the best, if not THE best liberating things to happen to me, it made me zoom out and realize that there is a HUGE world out there with infinite possibilities to either waste or spend your life on. 'Getting fired' turned into 'getting set free'! It SUCKED at the start, and it will for you too, but you can choose to use it as a springboard for an amazingly better life if you let it! Good luck! 😊🙌

      Part of me feels like I'm going to be told that I'm fired when I walk in this upcoming Wednesday since I just walked out when they wanted to put me in a position that I have no experience with. They did it once and didn't teach me anything on how to do it so I was doing things wrong and was getting yelled at. They try to put me in the same position and as I said, I just walked without a word. I'm not trying to get yelled at for something, not my fault. If you want to put me in that position for a bit then at least teach me how to do it easier instead of me trying to teach myself and getting yelled at. If I do get fired though then it would be dumb because someone has done what I did already 5 times and somehow he is still working there. So, if I get fired just for doing it once then I'm pretty sure I smell bs but then again, I can care less because the people there are toxic self-entitled pricks anyway

      Doesn't work with every situation. Depends on the job and the field. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself.
      Stick with the facts instead of sugar coating abuse. If the new people know the abuser, sugarcoating means to every new employer that you are a doormat! Don't go there!

    I like this method of thinking. You are a business and the company is the customer. Treat yourself like a business always. Example: Just because one or a few customers don't like your pizza, doesn't mean that everyone doesn't like it. Self reflection, lashing out never ends well. End gracefully. It wasn't a good fit. Keep going!

    Back when I was living in the U.S. (I now live in Germany) I had worked at two jobs from the span of 3-5 months, my first job was at A&W. I think at a personal level that the place is good. However, management was a f-king mess. 10 out of 10 times, I had to actually and physically show up at the restaurant just to get my check and see my weeks schedule. Which has either 1 to 2 days of work or no days for me at all, which leads to low paying physical paychecks. Employees tended to be rude or didn't care at all. After 3 months, I went job hunting and got a job at pizza buffet.
    The place looked promising, it looked organized, they actually use an online app to send out schedules and send direct deposits. Which sounded perfect for me, they gave me my uniform and I was hired on the spot, left my job at A&W and began there. During my first month, things were okay, there was some physical demands but nothing to complain about. Then the manager was kind of a hot head. Known for tearing into employees if they dared to slack off for one bit or even slowed down for one bit. I got to work as a pizza maker for... 2 days? Then I got sent off to dishes, which isn't too bad... When it's not busy. But one thing about dishes is that. It's hard to keep up when dishes and stuff from the kitchen keeps coming in, even after closing time. I remember I had to stay until 11 or 12 at night, because of this and the Manager (Who was a lady in her late 40s or 50s) straight up just screamed and teared into me that I was not suited for this place and that I can't do anything else until I can clean before midnight. Then cut my hours into Saturdays and early mornings (Which the most busiest and always full of people from a 4-5 hour shift) and it was absolute hell.
    I remember that, it gave me depression and almost have gotten to the point of self-harm. But I was able to reconcile myself and do like I did at my first job. Look for another and leave that job, I went online and applied for another and got my final job at the U.S. which was a fast food/Pizza Joint: Dominos. I called up my manager at the time when I got hired and said that I was quitting, it felt really satisfying. Being able to cut something out of your life that wasn't doing any good and getting a job that actually treated you like a real human being. (7.25 pay for 5 hours of hellish dishes was not a good deal at all)
    This was the heartbreaking part. Working at Dominos, the place I really did thought was amazing. The employees were nice and I was able to work somewhat at my own pace. There was rushes but got them down hard. However I worked there for... About 8 or so months, then, my general manager at the time had hired this new general manager for the store I was working at, and she wasn't nice at first. She started off as demanding and at this dementor tone. This went on for about a week. Since I had her for practically the entire week, I reported her at my manager for what she was doing and how it was affecting my line of work. EVEN at times of telling her that I working on something else and that I couldn't do this spot quite yet. She never did take it in. My manger said that he would talk to her and see how he could work it out. I did get somewhat of a lecture from her some days later. But if anything, she toned down a bit and got promoted as general manager. Things were great.
    But then, one day. I came in to work, I was told to come sit with them. There was some talk about how employees I was working with sent in complaints that I was "inappropriate touching". Mind you, I was not a pervert by any means. I do not like being touched myself, especially by anyone else. And that. The best course of action. Was to let me go, or fire me by other terms. This was a place that I actually didn't mind going to. I liked being able to chat to my employees and still have fun through out the shift. And they let me go for no reason?
    After a bit of a fight, some days later. I got a call back from my general manager. He went into actual detail of why I was fired, which was because I made a compliant towards the new general manager. And they deiced that letting me go would fix that situation. All because I stepped up for myself? I. Was. Pissed. I actually did think about taking them to court because of that. But the franchise owner instead just gave me a workers comp and told me just to head somewhere else and to use him as a reference.
    After that, I never got another job from that city I used to live in. I just focused on my education and graduated and deiced to move back to my home country (Which was Germany!)
    I now got a job working as a freelancer for other companies and I am doing well, I am currently majoring in Cyber Security and planning on working in high paying company, I live with my grandparents and actually had made enough to where I could. Get my own place but rather chose to stay and keep saving. Thanks or Danke for reading or listing to my story.

    From personal experience, getting fired is not the end of the world. At first you feel empty, worthless, you blame yourself. This is natural. Sometimes getting fired is really nothing to do with you, but the 'politics; of the organisation or the fact someone does not like you. But getting fired really can open up new doors and put you on a much better career trajectory. After being fired I am now working for myself in the same field I was fired from, earning in the process 6 times the amount of money per month I was getting paid. Getting fired from my old job inadvertently was the best thing that could have happened to me career wise. Of course when you get fired there are challenges...how you are going to pay your bills etc, but ultimately it could and probably will turn out to be the best thing ever.

They did it once and didn't teach me anything on how to do it so I was doing things wrong and was getting yelled at. They try to put me in the same position and as I said, I just walked without a word. I'm not trying to get yelled at for something, not my fault. If you want to put me in that position for a bit then at least teach me how to do it easier instead of me trying to teach myself and getting yelled at. If I do get fired though then it would be dumb because someone has done what I did already 5 times and somehow he is still working there.

    Pretty sure anyone watxbing this vid is doing so bc they got fired or are on their way. I’m having a tough time with my own termination as it came out for the blue after 7 years. Going to collect my things today (it just happened Friday) and I’m not excited at all but I’ll get through this. I’ve learned a lot in this whole experience and I’ll continue learning as time passes. I didn’t do anything egregious but new management came in and wanted no trace of what was before she entered the position.

    For me, the catalyst that ended with my termination was that I got a scam call during my lunch break. It involved 3 separate scammers and I was gullible enough to believe them, which led me to make some pretty stupid decisions that broke company policy.
    The company and I didn't lose any money, but it did cost me my position, which sucks because I really enjoyed that job and working with my fellow staff. Luckily, my manager and I personally left on a more positive note and she even wished me luck in the future.
    In the end, I take full responsibility and learned a hard lesson. I'll have to work harder now to move forward but I can rest knowing that it could've been worse.

    Hello, I am immigrant. 3 year in New York, Since I left before my job in May of last year, I went to 3 places and got fired. However, I realized that it was not a job problem, it was that you did not follow People have a good relationship or you are not a super flattering problem, or it is an ethnic problem, or your former employer said bad things about you behind your back. You can find a better place to work. I used to work in my country. No one has ever been fired at a time, some people just like to deliberately let you down

    Got laid off and I started to cry but then I realized that I should be grateful. During my time in that company I learned so much and I worked with smart and awesome people. Sadly my job was outsourced to India and I got laid off. This company is giving me a great Severance package. I could use that money and my savings to work on my own business. I don’t want to be a programmer anymore. I’m tired of being in a seat 8 hours and have a sedentary life. I’m becoming a personal trainer and my husband told me he supports me.

    Excommunication in absentia happens all the time, and its rarely to do with fitting in, which is bad/poor group dynamics. Most Managers are just at best quite good at administration, but are always poor leaders eg: not natural people lovers.

    Im 16 and got my first job at starbucks, was working there 6 months with no issues until one day my shift supervisor made me sweep the floor for 4 hours straight for no reason. My arm was hurting and I checked the time on my phone and he straight up told me to go home and “not come back until I was ready to work” and that “everybody thought I always slacked off”. The funny thing is, I constantly went out of my way to go above and beyond and help coworkers and never got any kind of conversation like that beforehand. I had to work with him a couple shifts after and realized I couldn’t do it, and to prevent myself from potentially being fired I put in my two weeks
