I've just been fired.

Fuck the whole gods-fucking-damned world.

I wish I could say I saw this coming, but I really didn't. I thought I was doing well.

Turns out I'm just as socially retarded as I ever was.

They're letting me go mainly because my customer service is lacking. They said customers find me too "abrupt". They also said that if I wanted, they could put a word in for me in the tech department, where working with customers is much less important. I guess I'm too much of a geek for them as well.

I hate that they did this two days before my mother's birthday and so fucking close to the holidays.

But this is the worst part: I was so bad at the job that they fired me even though it would be shooting themselves in the foot. Finals week is coming up, and five of the nine employees are students. At least two of them are taking the last two weeks in December off. And they fired me rather than keep me around long enough to take some of the workload.

Kill me now.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I know how important it is to self-esteem to be employed and valued in the workplace. Just...hang in there. That's all I can offer. Cuz that really sucks. It's not the job, I know - it's the feeling of rejection that's tough to overcome.

It's not your fault some customers can't handle to-the-point instructions. That's the making of a leader that the Center just can't see. I know looking for another job right now is probably one of the last things on your mind, but security rarely works with the public and actually values abruptness. Think it over.

Damn. Just...damn. {{hugs}}

You're not socially retarded. You're to-the-point and don't like putting up with wank and stupidity. There is nothing wrong with that. The trick is finding you a job that places a high value on those qualities. We'll find you something.

I'm off tomorrow and most of Sunday. If you feel like coming over for chocolate, tea, hot boys, and/or sympathy I'm all yours.

It's no consolation, but what they basically said is "you don't suck up". That's what most of Teh Publik wants; somebody to bully.

Unless you were being rude abrupt shouldn't be an issue. You're just a direct person, and that's a good thing imo. One knows what's going on right off.
