Was my first corporate job. Wasn’t into the corporate brown nosing. Got a new boss and he used one customers complaint to make an example of me.
Best feeling was getting to tell the bosses how everyone laughs at them two behind their backs and have zero respect for their leadership.
Fuck it on to bigger and better things.
Edit: Thank you guys! Positive attitudes go a long way. Hopefully I can look back on this and say this was the start of something wonderful.

Your mental health is important. Good that you are out of that place
downvoteacct
Life is too short to work for a fucked up company, go where they respect you.
CanIGetSomeExtraSalt
That place sucked anyways
JupitersWitch
If you aren't into brown nosing, your corporate career is going to fucking suck. Gotta suck that dick like you mean it.
ProbablyDrunkAgain
This is nothing to be embarrassed about. It happens. Take a week or two off then start looking for another opportunity.
AnnieAimee
Those bosses don’t care about anyone’s opinion of them and all you did was probably make your first corporate job your last corporate job.
ParisOssuary
Screw them. Don’t let them dim your shine.

I just quit my shit job and put in a weeks notice. Already have a better paying job lined up. Fuck shitty managers my dudes
bawdeepinsheep
Good luck to you a best wishes for the new job. I have to give 3 months notice; somehow I don't think I would give them that much :-)
SeamoarButts

Bloodninjafox

Canyoufeelitmisterkrabs

geminiman82
So you narced out everyone else and made things worse for them so you could feel better about being let go by assholes. Good on ya! :-|
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Yeah but most of the people I worked with were cunts.
geminiman82
OK, well fair game then. Lol
CygloPargen
Yeah man, I got a rash...
Ishkabibble317
Dude!
idontknow251
Lol I’m in the same boat! I got fired too :p gotta just move on and find something better
serendipity81433
So im guessing you wont be needing them for a reference?
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
What you do is say your still working for the company. Then the new company doesn’t call your old company.
cupcakesandviolence
I pray for this every day as I'm building my side hustle to full time. Waiting impatiently to make enough to jump.
elmonosabio
Been there. Done that. It’ll get better. Really.
ouchpoophashtagrekt
Cool story OP. How much respect do your coworkers have for the juvenile, mouthy fuck who got sacked?
idrinkandknownothing
Feel like I'll need to use this meme for myself soon. But hey, keep your chin up and you do you. Fuck 'em
MelfsAcidArrow
I got laid off from a job I thought I loved. Turns out I was just used to the shit. New job is better pay, better commute, better hours. 1/2
MelfsAcidArrow
2/2 and overall better environment. I feel respected and valued. Getting laid off was the best, because I never would have quit
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Tried convincing myself I was happy because of the money but I hated my life
dieselpunk
Sounds like me, currently

I can say that I use this quote almost daily.

it has way too many uses. It's unfortunate. I'm sorry he died. :(

An hour commute?......lol (crying regularly for two hours each way)
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
You don’t understand how stressful Florida drivers can make it
HandsWillNeverFit
As someone in the UK, the whole multiple hour commute sounds crazy!
serendipity81433
i understand. i have a 1.5hr each way, if i dont miss my connection. im gone at least 12hrs per day, but work is work! (I like my job)
Pmon77
I am with you man!
somadicouldspitfire
I worked at one company for 10yrs. Left for double paying job ... got fired 8 months later.. was devastate bc I had never been fired before
somadicouldspitfire
Turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to my career lol
celebradee05
How so?
somadicouldspitfire
It was the worst job I ever had despite the high pay. I was working 90+ hrs per week, my boss didn't give 2 shits just demanded more & more
somadicouldspitfire
When they fired me I literally laughed so hard I couldn't drive right away. It was like being released from prison. Now i have a job paying
somadicouldspitfire
About the same where I work just 40hrs, Mon to Fri 7am to 3pm & my boss actually cares & says thanks. I've received 2 raises in the last
rugmiem
What company?
IndyAndyJones
The one @OP worked for, that should be obvious from context.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Idk if I want to do that.
madmatt2024
Personal thoughts: Company I hated but quit on good terms, not telling. Company I hated that fired me for dumb reason, fair game.

Yeahhhhhh don’t answer that. Corporations are lawsuit happy about that shit. Source: I work for one.
imshibagel
You sound like me when I was 20 and that's the exact type of person I wouldn't hire as an employee now that I'm 30
erischilde
OP may be a tool, but met my share of immature bosses too.
Euronyme
Doesn't matter. Later employers will most often ask for references from your old boss. You never win anything by being rude.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
I have people that got promoted within the company that I could use plus a ton of other references. This was a dead end job.
Euronyme
(don't mean you, obviously. I just feel like saying "one never..." sounds a bit old timey) :)
erischilde
Old! Na Na nanana
erischilde
I think I started dumb, cared, and went all the way back to not. There are other ways to get reference, and you're right, don't need to be/1
erischilde
Rude; but remember you have value other than being a yes man, and sometimes standing up, leaving, and not taking shit is OK. /2
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
I’m a tool for telling the truth.
erischilde
It's not that bruh. Not all truths need to be told. Feels good sometimes, but you gain nothing. I'm not saying your bosses weren't shit. /1
erischilde
Can always be the bigger man/woman by saying thank you, walking away tall, and knowing how fucked they are. I've failed that a bunch lol /2
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
I usually am the bigger man and I just have never been treated like this in the workplace. Never fired before either.
nanyatenyaa
When you see hate and problems all around you, it's likely you are the problem. Your inability to be professional is very telling.
nanyatenyaa
You have a very poor attitude and breed hostility in the work place. It wasn't just 1 customer. It was your lack of professionalism.
nanyatenyaa
You mistook behaving in a civil way, such as not insulting others and burning bridges, as brown nosing. It's childish.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Prick
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
I was lied to about my job description. The department almost all revolted and quit because management is bad. Your just being a judgemental
nanyatenyaa
Nope, when you feel you're surrounded be assholes it usually means you've behaved in a way that identifies you to the group as one.
nanyatenyaa
Meaning, if you think you're surrounded by problems on all sides. You likely are the problem.
filben7
File for unemployment.
powershit
Prepare to get raped at tax time. I took two weeks unemployment and my refund dropped $700
TwistedSenseOfHumor
I had a month with unemployment and now I owe the IRS. Smh. Never had that problem until now.
powershit
Fucking unreal right? We pay into it every paycheck but get bent over if we use it. Shitty system
TwistedSenseOfHumor
Same thing I said. Like wtf isn't it my money to begin with? Now I have to jump through hoops of fire just to get some of it when I need it!
CongratsYouAreHereNow
that's not how unemployment works. your refund probably dropped because you weren't paying taxes, because you weren't employed. also, you
CongratsYouAreHereNow
shouldnt be getting a huge refund anyway. that means you're overpaying upfront
powershit
I don't claim anything. I'm in the third tax bracket. About 30% of my gross was paid in. None of my credits (student loans inrerest, savings
powershit
CRP, etc) applied because of my income. But two weeks of unemployment that i paid for dropped my refund by $700? Fuck that
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
They seem to fight it. At least HR lady did say I’d be getting my Bonus though close to 8k. Then I can dip into my retirement savings.
cinematicheart
File any way.
AbigailLongbottom
Don’t dip into retirement savings! File for unemployment.
catsandcoke
Do it anyway. If you're denied, appeal. You'll get it.
phe0n1x
File it anyways, make them spend the time and money to fight it.
neil137
make them work for it. each time someone fights it costs them a LOT of money
NotShakespearesSchool
No. No. No. once you get that check you file. That is strong evidence. Do it! Better than not trying.
UrbanGhost
Doesn't mean you don't file. Worst that can happen is they say no
filben7
Thats an empty threat from them. File anyway. Fuck them.
ToTheLastDrop
Their best weapon is discouraging you from trying. Their second best weapon is lying, which would mean a lawsuit. They'd rather just pay.
musesf80
File for it and you can fight them if they try to block it. Don't touch your retirement money!
ProbablyDrunkAgain
You've paid into the system. File for UI, don't touch retirement unless you absolutely must.
Merpyderpy
They always fight it but it seems to be more of a scare tactic (at least in my experience). Request a hearing and get representation.
Jawesome19
It's your legal right to collect unemployment as long as you didn't quit or get fired for pulling your Weiner out or something
StillNotYouTube
Oh damn it! The one thing I can't do!
SometimesIBuildThings
Not sure about where you live, but if you got walking papers, make sure your reason for filing matches the papers.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Even if I’m getting a bonus in mid March?
icantbelievethiswasavailable
Yes
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
And when they fight it what do it do?
RIIIIIIGGS
Don’t dip into your 401(k) unless absolutely necessary.
Madethisusernameforonereason
Seriously, dipping into your retirement saving is like saying "I don't want to eat for 4 months when I'm 75"
rayaj32
Years*
RIIIIIIGGS
Plus, you’re getting taxed at the highest rate, plus a 10% penalty, @OP.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Yes I know. I got fired from a job in retirements.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
What I’ll do is move it into an IRA then w/d. then I only face a 10% tax and penalty. That really is the reserves If I go through savings
