Lost My Job!!!!

[joe4speed]

Well after 4 1/2 years I am no longer a bartender! The place I have been working for is suffering some financial losses, and the new manager kinda saw me as a threat after being there for so long! (she is sleeping with the owner) So now I have to find a new bar!! It should be no problem to find one, I'm good and fast, and loyal! The job I had before this one I was at for 3 years! In restaurant/bar terms, that's a looong time! But this couldn't come at a worse time. Bills are already piled!! UGGGHHHHH!! Guess I have to take the Stang out for a looong drive! This has not been a good year... lost my dad in January, lost my Grandma in February, Lost my uncle in March, current G/F problems, and now this!!! Now that's a full plate!! Wish me luck!!!!!!!!

BAD YEAR GOOD LUCK

Thats too bad, but look at it this way, you'll have a really good year coming up next!

My friend is working in Silicon valley and they just cut 70% at his job, he's pretty sure hes not gonna have work much longer either.

Sorry to hear about that!

Truely I feel your pain, Skyler is right tho' I live out here in the Silicon Valley and the job market is so tight. I've been laid off for two months now and everyday actively looking for a job but it seems employers are either not hiring or being extremely picky, just because they can now that EVERYONE is looking for a job out here. Anyway GOOD LUCK! Let us know how it goes.

sorry to hear about the problems..why was she threatened by you? i hate it when someone new comes into the pic[sleeping with the boss] what can you say.. if you have a "following" they will go wherever you go to work..believe that. if customers like you, they will go wherever you are. IF YOU POUR IT..THEY WILL COME!!!!! seems like everybody is having g/f b/f prolems right now. guess its in the water

Sorry to hear about all that trouble. This year is almost over so I wish you luck. And we're all hear for ya.

And I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a job. People gotta drink, and if they loose there jobs they get depressed and need more to drink.

Good Luck Buddy,

I think employment and unemployment is becoming a big issue nationwide. My uncle from Colorado Springs lost his job with Atmel. They make little chips for cell phones and stuff like that. He had a very good supervising job there but they made large employee cuts and he was one to get the shaft.

[joe4speed]

Thanks for your support!!!!!!!!!! It means alot.
I got an offer for a good job on Sun and Mon, but that's not quite enough! I have yet to put out an application anywhere yet, though!
I had a great following! I heard from about 30 customers that called me today with their concerns! Pretty cool! Maybe it will all be ok!!!
MustangDani, she was threatened by me, because I was there the longest, and knew everything about everything! I closed the place, ordered, did the alarm, all that stuff. She comes in and does a rotton take over (stabbing her friend and anyone who got in the way in the back, she started as a bartender/waitress about 6 months ago, and now she's manager!!!) and I was the only one left in any position of authority.. Too bad really, the owner will be sorry at this decision!

Oh well!! Thanks again, everyone!

jl: you'll find something, this is the time of the year when the bars and restaurants start to pick up a bit and i'm sure someone out there need a good bartender. i worked in rest for year and your right 3-4 years is a long time!!

[69fastback]

Damn dude that sucks. good to see u got some job offers though. I didn't realize everything in the country was so bad. (people lossing jobs that is) pretty crazy. Well good luck everyone with finding a job i will be there in a year and a half when i get out of the army. I don't know though things stay like this i might have to stay in.

[tireburner163]

That sucks man. The manager sounds like a real *****. I'm sure that you'll find work. If you already have job offers and you haven't even filled out a application thats a good sign.

Just remember your stang will never leave you. (well except for that cute little Miata down the street )

[Unit 5302]

Damn man, that sucks ***. I know what you mean about the "threat" deal, I was singled out once too. I had more weight with the people than the store manager did, so he conveniently found a way to get rid of me. Almost every single senior full timer at that place was given the boot. Store went from #2 to #26 that year.

Speaks volumes.

Good luck man, btw, kick *** site.

[6T9PONY]

I wonder if the national unemployment rate is rising? Anyone know? And before 9/11 I knew the stock market was having a pretty bad recession....since then I have not paid any attention at all to it....But I remember hearing it was getting a little better though....is it even close to being back to normal though?

[1BAD89]

Sorry to hear that....Good luck.

[PKRWUD]

Joe, I'm glad you cleared up that "threat" thing. You left me with the impression that your manager was afraid you were sleeping with the owner, and I didn't need to see that image.

Dude, it does suck, but you're in a good spot. No matter what happens, people will always drink and smoke. The two stocks on the Dow Jones that really went up the first day of trading after 9/11 were Phillip Morris and Miller beer. Really. You, my friend, will always be in demand.

That still sucks, though. Want me to kick her *** for you?

Take care,
-Chris
