GOT FIRED ON MY BIRTHDAY

 


I got fired from my job on my birthday today. Talk about a nasty Trick for Halloween!

All of us drivers have a camera aimed at us. I do not recall running that stop sign.

23 and a half years without one ticket or accident ... then this.

With a camera aimed right at me, it was bound to happen to me sooner or later.

I was hoping for later.

All my coworkers were crying ... even my supervisor.


I am 75, no savings thanks to hurricanes/medical bills, and expensive rent.

Who will hire me at this age?

As lame as hearing "Everything happens for a reason," 

it is better hearing it out loud.

Because when you hear it your head, it sounds an awful like "Anything can happen with a razor."

If you can donate anything to my PayPal account, it would be deeply appreciated.

  1. That is just wrong! Fired for running one stop sign, with no warning?

    1. I eased through one stop sign over a year ago in rural Louisiana with no traffic in sight for miles. They have the video of the empty fields that stretched on and on. I feel they were looking for a reason because of my age.

  2. A total bummer! The company was probably just looking for stupid excuse simply because of their politics (e.g. they want to hire a relative or friend over someone who is more qualified and so they do it through some loop hole). I've seen it happen on a more personal level too many times. It sounds like the co. flat out lied!
    I'm praying that you'll get another job soon.

    1. Me, too, Steven. But at 75, I am going to have a hard time. Thanks for caring, Alex and Steven.

    1. I've faced cancer, heart attack, hurricanes, homelessness but without the support of my friends at work, this is scarier. After nearly a quarter of a century, I am alone. Thanks for caring. Say a prayer, will you?
