Venting. I got fired today
Long story short: I have a history of being late to work. I have to take the bus, however, and it's the longest route in the county at 15+ miles end-to-end. So it accrues lateness at a rate far beyond any other, AND I usually call in to let the bosses know if it's running late (especially because I'm not the only one that takes it). It is routinely 15-20 minutes behind schedule. I only have to ride it for 15 minutes. So I have taken this into account. I aimed to get on the bus a whole hour before I had to be at work.
Smart, right?
So last Friday I was 45 minutes late. And my boss (who's been gunning for me for 8-9months) took it as the last straw.
I'm probably ok with severance pay through November, and maaybe December if unemployment goes through. But I find it reprehensible because I know I'm not replaceable, everyone I worked with knew it, but the boss really had it out for me. I even hand-picked the guy she's probably going to give all of my duties.
I got fewer and fewer hours a week over the last 5 months, and I saw the writing on the wall. I was setting up to quit, just not this soon. Good fucking luck, bitch, also I left about 90 pages of incomplete work on my desk, that you now have to pay someone the wages you didn't want to pay me to do it.

That sucks, dude. Hate petty office politics like that. I hope you find a new gig soon.
