My Boss's Son Fired Me, But My Boss Said 'We’re Bankrupt Without Him!'"

[@Chris_at_Home]

I had a heated disagreement with a manger at a job I had in the late 1980s. He cut my pay 10% which was about 6Gs a year. I already had a job prospect and I gave him notice. He tried to back track because I was the only one that filled a specific position that no one else was trained on. I knew the company would get penalized if I took unemployment. I qualified because in the state I live in if your pay is cut 10% or more there is no waiting period. I took a few months off and he wasn’t happy. Also they had to find a tech from out of state and pay to move him.

[@andersonlafoucade3660]

The same happened to me in my last employ, I'm now retired. Oh, how these entitled junior family blood push their weight around. Many a time, they cause the death of the family business if the parent don't not intervene. I'm on the outside now looking at the crash 😢😢

[@mikespencer4922]

I broke my leg in a motorcycle accident. Was booked off work for a week. Came back... on crutches.. and managers blue eyed boy had been appointed into my job. I quit there and then. One shift notice. A week later they send a young apprentice to ask me how to repair a Lockers Gearbox that had broken down. I sent him back with two quotes. One, to write a manual for it. Two, to repair it as a contrator. That was a very expensive manual.

When I, the second son, outshined the firstborn son, father's golden boy, I had to move out and far away. My older brother smoked week and lost all ambition to graduate college. I was clean and sober. I graduated college. My father was furious that I had made my older brother look bad. I am happier going no contact.

[@LionsDen1223]

We just might be related. This sounds a lot like my family.

[@paulleckner9148]

@@LionsDen1223 Thank you for your words of comfort. My father was the second son to his older brother. My father's drum song was, "Why can't you be more like your older brother?" Well, my older brother is a lazy bum. I was clean, sober, and professionally employed. I then asked my father, "Why can't you be more like his older brother Uncle Joseph?" My father was confused! "What?! My brother Joseph is dead!" Silence! Until, my mother burst out laughing and started clapping for me! Burn!

[@Chron0ClocK]

I am the third son, black sheep of the family. I just liked going to the library and reading all day, going home, and continue reading until late at night. Sleep, repeat. I started smoking weed with a guy I met at the library around age twelve, I graduated Highschool early, went to Job Corps for vocational training, graduated and joined the NAVY. Served, received my honorable, went home and started a business. I'm now 36 and the owner of a multi-million dollar international corporation that I founded. I still smoke weed. The pot wasn't your brothers problem, it was a symptom of a larger underlying issue. Your family sounds like it has a lot of issues, and you yourself probably picked up a number of them and carry them with you to this day, you sound just as toxic as your father. Get help, go to church.

i understand why he kept his true skills hidden, i had that happen to me too, i once went for a job interview and got to hear "why was i applying to that position if i had much more qualifications then needed" ... i felt like screamming " i need a job! " but i kept quite.

[@BK-tp6jf]

They aleays do that it means they sont think you stick around after training or for long ao you have to reassure them you re staying for a couple of years

[@jackhemsworth7515]

i actually said that in my interview. "Yes, i have a degree. i could challenge for management positions. But with no experience you're highly unlikely to hire me, so please. let me take the entry position first and see what i can do."

[@nomebear]

I was a contractor and management gave me an ultimatum... either take employment with the company, or I could leave. I told them thank you, and goodbye. They asked me to clear out my desk and told them that I had never moved in, so there was nothing to clear out, and that I would show myself out. Shocked at my quick move, I think that had planned on my being available as a contractor, but were even more shocked when I immediately left the area for a training and a better position. The look on their faces! Also, I was their only sober employee. 😮

[@ladyfreedomrocks]

And in that moment, the CEO's son realized he done messed up.

Great story about challenges one faces while navigating the corporate world as an employee. Jealousies due to outperforming your peers is not the only obstacle in a job. .Racial or group rivalries, gender discrimination, personal likes & dislikes of the boss and many others are common obstacles too.

He said the previous three companies were confining him to translator jobs because of his ability to speak 7 languages - so he stopped listing that on his resume so he could apply for supervisor and manager positions.

These stories are so fake. They are written as fictional, not personal. How could the author know what people say when they leave the room

They are fake. 99.9999% of them. Buy I enjoy them, in the same way I enjoy other fake stories from games or TV shows.

[@sjmcc13]

Is it claiming to be true? Or based on true events? Unless they claim to be true it is only reasonable to assume that they are fiction. Actually the based on is reasonable, but still haven't you ever heard about asking someone what was said, notnthay hard to get what occurred from someone else if at leat one witness is friendly to you.

[@Danarchy3]

@@sjmcc13 your missing my point. The way it is written screams fake. A real person telling a story would say “dad was pissed! He started screaming and throwing things”. These stories say “the anger in my fathers face was clearly visible to all, the veins in his forehead were throbbing as he yelled at me in a volume that was so loud the windows shook and then he started to throw things at me, it was all I could do to get behind the sofa”
