Hoping they'll manage to convince the company to take you back.

The verdict is in and the company decided to terminate me. What chaps my ass about the whole situation is that they said they would have an "investigation" but however no one was questioned about anything. One of my coworkers even went to bat for me in front of the plant manager and he acted as if he now had all the information that he would reconsider, however this morning before my hearing he would not even look at me. So now I am officially jobless. Hopefully I will be able to find something in the near future that pays about as well as what Tyson did along with insurance and benefits.

Sometimes I wonder they lay deaf people off because they know they can get SSI and other people can't?

One guy I knew had mental issues (really bad too) He couldn't function at work at all, so they fired him. It was reasonable because he wasn't doing jobs that was very important, cleaning and sterilizing equipments at night. We ended up doing it for him. I talked to the manager that I hope he will be able to find work, and wondered if he could in his condition. She told me that he is going to apply for gov't assistance so he should be ok. Coworkers told me the same thing, that he did apply for gov't assistance.

Thanks for your support guys. Today I got at it with looking for work. Today I came up with two applications to be a substitute teacher at two school districts which are within 20 minutes of my house. I found out this evening that the QSI contracted sanitation crew at Tyson may be hiring, this would be 2nd/3rd shifts so it may settle the school issue. Tomorrow I will return my paperwork I completed today, run the dogs, do some schoolwork then run to Uni for class. Technically not job hunting but Wednesdays are my busiest days anyway, I'll just have more time to get it all done. Thursday I'll go at it again, and continue 5-6 days a week until I find something.

I really hope that USDA-FSIS will contact me soon regarding the WAE position at Waldron. It would pay much better than anything in this area and I will have the option to roll into a FSIS-GS-07 after two years which means it is full time with health insurance and benefits. Perhaps by then I will have completed my degree and will use that to move up quickly in USDA into 8/9 positions. Not a definite but it is a long term option if I decide to go that route.

I saw he likes poker, but actually, my family members and friends kept inviting me to FB poker. I figure it is about time I should learn and it is a good way to learn without losing actual money.

Frisky Feline · 11-17-2010, 07:28 PM

I learned that my long childhood 4 girlfriends who are addicted to the pokers. One of them is pretty good according to her statement.
