So today I came into work as I usually do, I clocked in and started getting my belt ready when the boss or supervisor or whatever the heck he was. I had already noticed something was different just by the fact that the supervisor who gives me a warm greeting every day avoided eye contact with me as did the other four eyed trainer who looks like a bootleg Rick Moranis did. Hell even the guy who fired me couldn't even look at me, he had to actually work up the nerve to talk to me... I swear all the guys there are a bunch of scared guys.
So anyway, as I was getting my belt the main boss came to me and pulled me to the side and informed me and I quote "Eagleking, you don't meet the safety requirements for seniority and I'm going to have to let you go." Then I had to give him my work I.D on the spot and he tells me good luck and that he is sorry. I was just so shocked and embarrassed I didn't really ask any questions and just gave him my I.D and left quickly. I still don't really understand what I did wrong or if I even did anything wrong. My thing is, how is that possible that I don't meet the supposed "safety requirements"when just last week a supervisor told me I was doing a good job following them after observing me alone? It all just seems weird as hell to me.
I wonder if it had anything to do with yesterday though when the bootleg Rick Moranis quizzed me on the steps on stopping the conveyor belts. I got most of them right but I missed like two of them. He is very strict and by the book when it comes to the rules so I'm wondering if he caused this with his sneaky self. I noticed whenever I had him watching over me things went wrong. This guy stopped me over any little thing and then when we got stuffed with boxes he starts yapping at me to speed up. When I think about it I really start to get pretty angry now because nobody even really follows the rules to the T. Seriously every veteran they put me in with were not following the safety guidelines. They tell me all the time to treat the boxes gently so I did and to move fast which I also did, I did the best I could and worked my butt off. All the bosses said I did a good job so I don't understand the issue. I pretty much followed every safety rule, so as long as I show it I should be good. The supervisor who observed me said I did a good job and that I just need to bend more often and I promised him I would.
Anyways, I saw veteran guys throwing boxes and bags on the top when they are suppose to be using the steps, also not bending at the knees. Even SUPERVISORS who were training me weren't utilizing the safety steps through and through, of course they spent a lot of time telling me how to be safe when I was the most safe worker there. A lot of those workers who have been there for years need a review session or something. Practice what you preach honestly! Another thing, the guy who looks over the trailers talked to me after work earlier last week and tells me I haven't been properly trained. I just feel it's nonsense as many times I was sent home because trainers weren't showing up when they were suppose to. And the trainer that actually did show up didn't even train me correctly. At any rate, I'm just so angry and disappointed cause I was supposed to be on my 23rd day today and I was close to seniority and I just get let go just like that. I only ever got to work on my own once or twice, and I never even got to work the full part time hours. In fact I never worked a full week because they kept cutting me, I only dealt with it because they told me I wouldn't have to once I reach seniority. I feel like I was used and thrown away like trash, all that time working my butt off doing the best I can and this crap happens. And to think I was so enthusiastic on my first job, what a disaster...
