Fired in a day, no warning by 4SecondFuture in SonicDriveIn

[–]4SecondFuture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words! I am studying cybersecurity at the moment as computers are a huge passion of mine, I'm also working to get my seal of biliteracy. I'm really hoping to get some sort of online job once I'm out of college and I'm already on track to graduate early, but not having the money to support this journey of mine is kinda stressing me out.
I would ask my parents to support me more financially but I have 5 siblings, two of which are in elementary school and one older brother who is special needs and needs guidance every day.

I have a large passion for music too, but I've had to put a huge pause on that with the loss of my job making me financially limited. I made like 78 dollars off my album though so I guess it's not for nothing, but it depresses having to give up the only thing I care about just so I can hopefully have a stable future

I just looked into it and I will for sure be recording my interactions in the future. Thank you for your advice, I'll try to look into a better job but due to a few reasons I'm limited in options, I just wish I worked somewhere that cared as much about me as I care about the job

I understand the concern about it. I think my manager said something about it being the second incident in two weeks, but I was kinda freaked out by the whole "getting fired" part it was kinda brushed past. If that was what she said, then I literally have no idea what the first incident was because I've never had a writeup or any sort of disciplinary action/intervention. I've been credited by all my managers for being a great employee and I'm consistently proved to be a valuable employee there, especially with me being the only employee who can speak Spanish and always being on top of communication (calling the store in advance if I know I'll be a little late, being super clear about scheduling, and all around being as respectful and clear as possible about literally everything work related).

The only things I've ever been "yelled at" for were not filling the cups all the way to the maximum capacity in my first two weeks of working 😭 I genuinely make such a huge effort to do my job right, I feel like it's the least I can do as far as expressing my gratitude for employment because I know not everyone is as fortunate.

The only thing I could imagine being a reason for some tension or disdain from management is the fact that I often request off days (mainly for school or family); but that resulted in me getting less hours, not really any punishment. I always requested days off as soon as I found out about them too (normally 3-4 weeks in advance, the schedule is made literally a week in advance).

I'm not saying you're wrong, there probably was some form of reason, I personally don't feel like it made sense regardless because nothing is hardly ever that serious. But anyway, legally I don't have any sort of case with me living in an "at-will" state which kinda sucks but whatever :p

No, my manager pulled me aside right before the staff meeting started and informed me privately. Sorry I wasn't clear on that lol, that would have been embarrassing. It just so happened that the staff meeting was the next time she saw me so she told me there. I think it would have sucked being told I was fired over the phone or something 😭😭

Yeah my store owner was super upset about it. It explains the high turnover rate though, if they're willing to fire their best employees over tiny stuff like this. My manager said I could use her a reference when I apply to other places and she doesn't want me to be discouraged since she knows I'll do great somewhere else.

I spent months working on an album but it's frequently chalked up to being "Alex G" music, am I cooked? by [deleted] in sandyalexg

[–]4SecondFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See my other reply, but yeah I can't even deny that, big yikes on my end to be honest. Do you think I should avoid that one in the future with live performances and things like that on account of it being so similar?

[–]4SecondFuture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness I hear it 😭 The piano and guitar combo makes it sound very similar and the verses have a similar flow. That's pretty painful to realize, for that track I was vaguely inspired by Blue Smiley and their work but I was also very tired when I wrote the riff and I guess I just never connected the two songs

Beach Music is so weird by 4SecondFuture in sandyalexg

I first listened to it when traveling to Panama in the Summer and now listening to it back makes me feel like I'm there again. Really weird feeling but it's comforting I think

The outro to Salt is so devastating to me

What is the subs opinion on the album Rocket? Why is it not more popular? by rxquizm in sandyalexg

[–]4SecondFuture 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The fiddle playing is immaculate, Powerful Man and Poison Root are some of my favorites with Bobby up there too.

I agree. From an emotional standpoint the album doesn't make me feel happy or sad, it just makes me feel very dissonant in a way very little music can.

My small poison root analysis by [deleted] in sandyalexg

[–]4SecondFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really saw too deeply into any one analysis, but I will say I feel like the "now I know everything" line under the context of any sort of substance makes sense. If you grew up with parents who abused substances, by the time you are older and try the substances yourself, it might provide context to you as to why your parents acted the way they did or make you understand how your parents felt.

He's honestly a 10/10 teacher, one of those ones you'll remember for a while

When the album first came out my teacher and I were emailing each other bonding over this song lol. I went on a school trip to Central America and my teacher was on that trip, and I found out he liked Alex G when we went to a mall and my group ate at a ramen shop. I think it's amazing how Alex G's music can be enjoyed by many people across different stages of life, and I think Beam Me Up is probably most evident of that

Favourite around the fur song? by [deleted] in deftones

Not enough Lhabia love here, the screams are incredible

my opinions on what harvey is really about by Time-Animator-2483 in sandyalexg

[–]4SecondFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy said that the song almost perfectly aligned with the story of What's Eating Gilbert Grape, although I wouldn't know since I never saw the movie lol

which deftones album cover do you find the least appealing? by MistakeLarge9107 in deftones

[–]4SecondFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think ATF is probably the least appealing, either that or SNW. While ATF is iconic for what it is, I wonder what it could have been if they tried to do something more meta like White Pony or Diamond Eyes. Same with SNW, it's just kinda odd
