BACK WHEN I was fired from Borders, I got a new job at the Hilton as a night accountant.
Let's just say that it didn't work out after all this time.
They tried to fire me, I raised concerns, they wouldn't have any of it. So I quit.
I really wish I wasn't such a nice person all the time. The thoughts running through my head like a stock ticker were telling me to verbally bash their non-educated asses by way of intellect and grammar (especially since they wouldn't understand). I kept my mouth shut until the training issue was raised. They, like all employers, told me that everyone goes through the same training.
If that's true, then why was I told to figure it out on my own on multiple occasions by the front desk supervisor?
Taking someone's word is enough to get you canned, apparently. Even if that employee does his job everyday and NEVER misses work. EVER. Unlike the two horrible hog-like cretins that work night audit who are NEVER at work, forcing Jeff and me to cover for them. CONSTANTLY.
And what do I have to show for the sudden burst of work ethic I displayed? I was nearly fired.
The world is a horrible place, but all things come around in the end. Like a comet pulled towards the sun, it waits until the correct moment to end it all, smashing into a sphere of dust and hydrogen.
...revoir.
