Looks Like I May Have Lost My Job!

[Konrad]

Oh sure... i mean i wouldn't like to loose 10K off my salary but i could get by if it was ony for 12 months or so. I try to plan a buffer in my budget... lol then i got a skyline, buffer is shrinking tho

[Col-GTSX]

Well great news... Im still there...

It was over a $500 item i had to give away for free.... But over all the deal was still profitable and the customer spends 10g's a month with me so it was all good....

I stood up for my self and confidence took over. I would not have any trouble getting another job its just the hassle and the having to tell people i got fired... That would suck...

In the end im paying for the 500 bucks and all is back to normal....

I have learnt for this situation and have learnt where i went wrong and what to do next time.... Yes my profit is too high to be fired.... But in their words a loose cannon is far more un-profitable....

So im great... Going out tonight to coffee club to have a nice dinner with the mrs and enjoy....

I also recieved my cams in the mail today so it was a double win....

Plus i got a raise to stay..... LOL

[RedEmblem]

I suggest turning up late for the next week... maybe not.

[chaos]

lol good to see you got your job

place i work at just lost 3 employees in one day.

[NismoGirl]

A payrise to stay?!

WTF... so they had no intention of getting rid of you in the first place.

LoL, you need to f**k up more often!

But $500... and they have a problem with that? OK!

[chaos]

maybe i should f**k up at work heaps, think i'll get a payrise?

[WazR32GTSt]

mate, we all make mistakes. the best of us are the ones who learn from them..

good to hear you kept the job!

[MountainRunner]

Yea its pretty harsh to threaten someone to be fired from a few minor mistakes.

If you never take the risk of making a mistake you can never achieve to your full potential. If employers were to realise this, they would get a lot more from their staff as they would not have fear holding them back.

[Ska]

Yeah that is pretty harsh to threaten a job over $500!!

When someone fcuks up at my work the cost to the company is usually in the 5 figure dollar amount, and we dont threaten their jobs...... one guy even stuffed up 3 times in a year, and he still works here, although every job he does is triple checked

Good to see it has all worked out in the end though!

[ferni]

Wait, they made you pay $500 for your f**kup but gave you a payrise? Wheres the logic in that. If they were giving you a payrise you'd think they'd cop the $500 and say don't do it again. O well good for you

[R33S2]

Col dont be so hard on yourself, youve got the goods to earn 50k with one company, why cant you do it with another? Surely your Co. has competitors and would they like the insider view of thier operations, clients, new products etc. If they are dumping you for thier own political gains what do you owe them?

[Col-GTSX]

I know it sounds backwards but yeah an extra few bucks a day to stay... And i only had to pay part of the 500 bucks... So this weeks pay was a little low but they may take the rest next week.... Does not matter...

As for the compitetion.... We have surposed competition but really we smash em every time... So i would not help them. Plus its like leaving a family or something.... Ive worked there so long i am one of the longest serving employees....

Also they are sending me on a holiday in 6 weeks to fiji (FREE)... So i feel i was delt with fairly.... I calculated my annual income with bonus's and it more like 70k and the amount of products i have won or got for free is worth it too....

So i really dont wanta leave as its a cool job.... So ill stay unless i get a better offer in the mean time....

[pear]

sounds like it' all working out!

enjoy Fiji - I used to do some IT work there. Interesting place when it comes to IT, but the people are great.

6 weeks on Fiji time, will seem like 6months!

just remember who did the back stabbing...

[Col-GTSX]

I wish it were 6 week in fiji... I meant im going in 6 weeks time for a week.... However my holidays were rejected by the big boss,... So i got to re-arrange the time to suit other staff....

But yeah... fiji here i come... one day soon....

[666DAN]

same with Cy, we get clowns at work make 5 figure dents about once a month sometimes....nothing happens though.

By any chance is your R33 S2 .. yellow?

Don't own a skyline yet, but yours is one of the ones that has inspired

me to go that way
