They fired my yesterday after five years with the company. Said I wasnt perform up to their expectations.
I'm so screwed now.

heh our word for it is 'bastages'
With the job market being worlwide what it is I feel extra sorry for you. I hope you get lucky and find another job soon. In the meantime maybe Janie will lend you her shoulder to cry it out.
My shoulder is there for you!
Been there before so I feel your pain ... it's a big shock if you didn't see it coming. The reason behind my dismissal was a little different to yours though - my old boss fired me after I caught him snooping around my house while I was on the road working (Neighbour rang me so I went home and caught him wandering around my house)
If it's any consolation I found work again pretty quickly and have been with that company ever since - hopefully you'll do the same.

Found out he pissed off the board for doing that, they yelled at him for mis-managing his dept.
Also a salesmen in that dept just got his realtors license and will be quiting soon.
I that dept. we had three salesmen and one desginer (me). Two of the salesmen are my bosses. The one the fired me is retiring in a month, the third salesman is leaving, and i got fired. That leaves the person taking over (cyrin' ryan) without a department now.

Weird situation. I hope it gets the attention of somebody who has a say in the organisation.

Messenger, was he looking for the panties he bought for his wife on her birthday?
Messenger...did you press criminal charges?

My concern was that he was looking for mine!

He tried to explain away that he had doubts that I was actually visiting customers and he was there to try and catch me sitting at home. It was at that point I started yelling that he was trespassing, he would have seen that my car wasn't at the house when he pulled up, and that the easiest way to check if I was visiting customer would be to check my log books and ring or visit the customers himself to see if I'd been there!
He sacked me on the spot stating that he didn't feel like I was part of the team anymore and that he had lost trust in me for one reason or another. I told him if he lost trust in me that's his problem, and if he was sacking me he could look forward to a visit to the Industrial Relations tribunal for unfair dismissal.
I filed a claim against them, but unfortunately with the cost of IR lawyers, my bank funds ran dry before theirs did and I ended up having to drop the lawsuit because the cost was starting to get close to the potential payout.
Sorry for hijacking your thread Rad.
no problem
thats fucked up
you know here in the USA, you can shoot trespassers in your house

*signs up to the list of fired personnel* (just yesterday got a letter stating that I will be fired on the 31st day.. with only 14days of resignation time when my work agreements states its a month - already complained about that one)
