On my last post I said i got a new job...
Well I just got fired.
I know, 2 days on the job and I already have been canned.
I'm glad actually, I hated it, it was demeaning and horrible and everyone there treated me so bad they didn't even call me by name...
I did cry when I first was told, but only cause it was done in a cruel way...
Basically? I was humiliated, and told that even an average person could make a sale by now, and I wasn't going to be able to make it...
I felt like I had just been told I was slow and couldn't handle this job.. I mean for crying out loud IT'S TELEMARKETING! ANY TRAINED MONKEY CAN DIAL A PHONE!
They say they don't pay or care about sales you get, because its all about being positive and staying to script. But when I got to the floor... I was suppose to be monotone and they added and crossing out lines in the script. And I got fired because I just followed the rules, and just didn't get a sale in 2 days.
But the most sales we got each day was like... 39... out of like 10 people calling hundreds of people non-stop! Think about it...
I mean at least wait a week...
But then I would have been there all week.. I mean 2 days and I was already to quit... or go postal. It was that frustrating...
And not just the rude people on the phone... my co-workers were also.... very very very strange.
One of them was so annoying and creepy.. and of course I had to sit next to her.
Oh, and the supervisor that fired me was like a nazi all the time I was there. She must have monitored EVERY call I dialed, and then walked up to me and yelled at me what I did wrong. She would walk away, I'd sigh, and at least a few of the girls told me to ignore her and said I was doing fine...
And I thought I was for a rookie. Oh should I say "New Girl" as everyone called me.. except the girl behind me.. she called me "Hey... Girl who sits in front of me!"
And there was a few kind people.. the other and nicer supervisor gave me a free soda. And... okay that was it.
In all? I say good riddance. At least I still get paid the 2 days I worked.. I just have to wait until next week.
And I knew I wasn't going to last there.. but.. I expected to last at least a week... *sigh* So yeah... I got fired.

Sorry to hear that.
Just keep looking for a new job; you'll find one. Don't give up!

Sorry to hear you got fired, but, by the sound of it, you're a lot better off without them =) If it helps to say, I still can't get a job
And I've been looking and applying for almost a year now! >=[

Oh ouch. That sounds really rough. I hope you'll be able to find a better job.
