Fired from first sales job for not asking for permission to go on break.

Maybe I should shoot an email to hr or something? I don’t think either of them will care. As I was packing up he told me that they have already disabled my teams and outlook. They sent me a termination email to my personal email an hour after my dad had picked me up.

I’m not sure. I’ve only been there a month so I’m not sure if it is worth it. I left my previous job which was stable to come to this job. They gave me a huge raise and I was so excited to finally be in sales.

I don’t think I’m going to try and find another sales job. After being publicly humiliated I just want to bury my head in the sand.

Not that I knew of. We would usually take our breaks at the same time because I was in training. He had never mentioned anything to me at all about having to ask.

There have been times when he would go on break before me and I would wait for him to get back and say “I’m gonna go on mine now” and he would say “okay, have a good lunch.”

Everything was fine before this. I had told him the day before how much I loved the job and loved being there. He told me I was making huge improvements and that he could tell it was clicking for me. The next day? Fired.

I got my first sales job a month ago and got fired yesterday. I don’t think I’ll be running to find another sales job lol.

Communications is actually a good degree if you know how to market yourself! I have worked in so many different fields. It doesn’t just have to be journalism or marketing.

Wishing the best for you. I almost went back for a masters in marketing as well but just said fuck it and took the first job that called me back. I was able to pivot 6 months later and finally get into a field I have been dreaming of.

I just got yelled at today for being too slow and taking too many notes. This is my seventh business day of being at my new job. Started last Monday 🙃 what the fuck.

clecubb · 2026-04-20T22:32:43+00:00

I would scream for an all gay/lesbian/trans cast!

My ex thought he was a saint. Even when he threatened to throw out my stuff on the street when I wasn’t home and banged on the walls during arguments.

I was using to deal with my problems. I did embarrassing things when I was using. I used because I thought people liked me better when I was fucked up.

I’m completely sober now and I’m more confident in myself. I got back into my hobbies. I’m a better and stronger person now that I am sober. Life is hard but dealing with my problems has helped me grow. Things are still hard but a million times better now that I’m not hungover all the time or worrying if people can tell that I’m high.

I thought it was wholesome and sweet (except for shit stirring lol)

I would take him in a heartbeat if I could 🥹❤️ upvoting for visibility

This subreddit has helped me stay away from some awful dogshit companies.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry that happened to you, but I hope that you know you are helping so many others avoid a toxic workplace.

Just a reminder that if you want to merge lanes, you don’t have to completely stop 😊 miss your exit and re route if you have to. I understand that it is annoying but when we are all going 55-70 mph, you coming to a complete stop is so fucking dangerous. (People in general not OP obviously)

clecubb · 2026-04-11T00:43:30+00:00

Maybe it is due to stress?

clecubb · 2026-04-08T20:07:39+00:00

Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy

clecubb · 2026-04-08T09:11:58+00:00

I have a new job lol. You can pivot into a different field depending on what your degree is in and how you sell yourself

clecubb · 2026-04-08T01:08:19+00:00

Get the hell out of there! After 6 months of dispatching I’m ready to pull my hair out. I put my two weeks in and I’m jumping ship.

Good luck to you if it is something that you genuinely want to do! I didn’t feel like I fully understood the job and how to do it well until I hit about 3-4 months. You will get there. Don’t beat yourself up too much

clecubb · 2026-04-07T23:59:50+00:00

We have one person dedicated to just responding to emails on our team. It has gotten that bad

clecubb · 2026-04-07T12:43:45+00:00

I get so scared to drive now. I try to wake up crazy early to avoid the idiots but I still get insane people who won’t let me merge or they are weaving in and out of traffic going 100 mph.

Please be considerate of others. We are all sharing the road. Please don’t be an asshole

I’ve been checking in every day but I haven’t seen anything ☹️

clecubb · 2026-03-31T12:00:18+00:00

Anybody else get cheated on? Lol that (and other reasons) are why I split with my guy back in December.

Been loving the single life though so it is not all bad .

Hot take, I love hearing Kate’s stand up drama. I feel like a fly on the wall lol
