Well, I got fired, haaaaaaaaa


Okay, look back to the post, "Should I date my boss?"
Well, I did nothing. I just stuck my nose to it and worked. Well, get this, apparently you don't have to actually be involved to get fired.
One of my 's parents told me that my boss was dating one of his other workers. She said that one of my workers was talking to another worker right in front of the 's mother about how she was dating him. Well, this mother told me when I called her about how her was doing psychologically. This mother did not appreciate my worker talking about dating my boss in front of her. I agreed that it was not good and told her that I'd contact my boss and have him talk to the workers about talking about private dating issues in front of or their families. I left this message on his voice mail. He never called me back on it, but the next weeek, I was fired. The reasons he gave were ridiculous. He said that I didn't attend my supervision, but he had me go to a 's psychological evaluation instead. Good thing I got him to sign me a waiver the prior week. I've got a copy of that that I included in my appeal. He also said that I didn't get all my training hours in on time. but he forgot that he just told me a week ago that I had from date of hire to date of hire to get them done in. Now he says I have from the first of the year to the first of the year. He also said that I "questioned his sexuality". I didn't. I know he's not gay. Actually, he's a big flirt in the office. He's held my had a little too long for handshakes. He's checked out workers leaving his office and I've caught him checking out my behind twice going up the stairs. Anyway, I never said he was gay. I told him that a told me that he looks like the gay designer on Oprah, therefore the mother says he must be gay. He laughed when I told him, but now he's making a big deal over it. Finally, he says that it's also because I was kicked out of
special classrooms. One of my was being yelled at by their father because the stated that his emotional support teacher yelled at him. His father was calling him a liar, so I stood up for the and let the father know that his teacher did yell at the students. The father then told this teacher. I still feel that I did the right thing. Anyway, this was months ago and my boss didn't fire me over it then. After I find out about him and a worker though I'm gone.
I also attempted to get unemployment but today I got a letter from them stating that I wasn't eligible. My employer had understated my income causing me to be ineligible. I had to appeal today and send in my pay stubs. I also appealed to my boss' boss about me losing my job. It was a twelve page appeal including the signed waiver he gave me. I doubt I'll get my job back. And even if I do, he's the one who delves out hours.

contact the EEOC.. they handle all natures of employment discrimination issue... I'm sure there is something in HR reg's about bosses dating their subordinates.. and in the nature of work that deal with the psychology of people.. there has to be other elements that can be addressed, if the other members in the office feel in any way under some pressure to show favors of such sort or accept the flirts when they are unwanted.. then he has a mounting problem. If he falsified your pay records, that's another charge that is legal.. was he trying to avoid taxes, so thre may be a list of things, as to him addressing previous incidents of anything, if he did not do a formal process, which means verbal then followed up by written with some documented data that shows he has pre recorded records of this, then he can't address those issues and claim them as post reason.. and you also have the option of contacting the "mother" whom this stuff was discussed in front of.. to wittiness..

now if he tries to deny you Unemployment, you can then go to a doctor and get certified for the stress this caused, and then file it as a workman comp stress case.. and that in turn become a matter that may make not only his workman's comp insurance but his mal-practice and other insurance of the firm go up..

then if he is found to be facing a discrimination by the EEOC, and have a workmans comp case, and a State employment board case for false income reporting, and maybe the EEOC may give you the right to sue him in civil court, or they can do so as a federal case.. maybe then he may understand that he has not the power to play games with people's lives. but also it may put the mark out on him when all is said and done that he will not get to work in that capacity to be over anyone in the future.

one matter.. is in the future don't leave a massage on the voice mail, if you can't talk to them .. do it via e-mail, so that you have a date and time and a copy.. and write it out in a very formal manner.. and if he question why you wrote it rather than talk, tell him it was because you wanted to outline the various aspect so he'd have a listing of the matter to insure he addressed each respectively.

haaaa, thank you, Gentlemen,
EOE maybe be another way to go.
Today, I petitioned The Court for a two day hearing and based it on slander and defamation of character. I'm taking him to court personaly. If the company aids him in any way, however, they're next.

you don't have to accept the EEOC .. it's just a matter that during the intake, they can at least let you know your options.. but if you can find an attorney that handles it on contingency, and truly believes your position is strong.. then .. you can certainly have expediency via the independent route.

best wishes... in the over all.

An alternative would have been to go outr with the boss.Maybe he was different in person.If not maybe it would preserve a job for longer.I had a teacher,when i was an adult she wanted a date and i would have done better in class,but i decided it wasn't right,so i got a bnd grade.No regrets .If it ever happens again,i would take her out and get the good grade though.To each his own.

Thank you gentlemen, but Loyal does have a point and a very sharp one at that, lol! I think I like his option best.
Oh, well, I had one phone interview and two in person interviews. I'm on hold with the one until they need someone; I don't have the right degree for the other; and the final one desperately want me, but want to pay me 1/3 my regular hourly rate. Oh, well... I think I'll start up my own business.
