How much does your self esteem decrease after getting fired?

<p>yea :confused: I give people too much credit for their opinions sometimes, especially certain comments from adults.</p>

<p>I fully intend to move when I am finished with school, I can’t move until then unless I intend to transfer as a senior. I’m not condescending you for not doing something you don’t like, I am suggesting that it is pretty crappy of you to ACCEPT A PAYCHECK for something you flatly refuse to put a real effort into doing when someone who is actually willing to do the job right can’t get a job because you are wasting your employers time and money thinking you are entitled to money you refuse to earn. I am less motivated than you when you are screwing around at all your jobs? Yeah okay. Try that when you’re an adult and see how it goes.</p>

<p>Wow. You must be some kind of genie to know that I’m screwing around on my job. Let me put it this way… I get the job done, and I don’t smoke pot while I’m at it. the end.</p>

<p>I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to tiff who said that he has gotten negative feedback at every job he has worked and that everybody gets negative feedback, and that you should only care about getting fired if it’s a job in your intended career.</p>

<p>When did I say I was more motivated than you? I moved out of my parents house when I was 19, and have been living on my own since- meaning I pay all of my living expenses. I’m guessing you live at home considering you did not deny that assumption, so you really don’t have a right to tell anyone that they should try being an adult. And when did I say I screwed around at my job? I always meet expectations, and employers are constantly telling employees how to improve, so yes, everyone that I have ever known who works has received critisism or feedback of some sort. When did I say I refuse to do my job or put in any effort? I do what I need to do to keep my job, that’s it. My employer doesn’t offer raises unless you’re promoted, and I have no intention of staying with the company for the rest of my life, so I’m not working towards anything, but rather doing enough to stay employed. The people that run around and kiss ass and bust there ass at my job don’t get any more money than someone who meets expectations. Sure, it’s great to put in 100% effort all the time, but why give 100% when your employer only demands 60% and gives no incentive to give 100%? I’ve worked since the start of HS and I’ve learned in my jobs that employers want people who get the job done, and the person who works extra hard rarely gets rewarded. They may get some praise, but their job is expendable, and the company is not going to give them a raise. if Yeah, ideally everyone would work exceptionally hard at every job because they have pride in their work, but checking people out quickly or putting clothes away efficiently doesn’t give me a rewarding feeling, because it’s pointless, meaningless work. I do it to pay my bills. I don’t care about my job, it just pays my rent and tuition. If I lose it, it’s not going to upset me that much because it’s not my career, and doesn’t make me happy. If a job doesn’t make you happy, than it’s expendable. I base the amount of effort I put into a job based on the wage, the less the employer pays, the less they want from their employees. If you don’t go to school where you reside in the summer it’s no wonder why you can’t find a job, because not a lot of places hire just for the summer. I’ve been able to come back and work for a company I worked for in HS, and I have a side job. Sure, some people probably would like to work more than me, but there was a reason I was hired over that person. A strong desire to work doesn’t mean you would be good at a given job. I do my job well enough that I still get as many hours as I want, and that’s all I need to do. And I am fine with only giving some effort, because they don’t ask for my full effort. So, obviously my employer feels that I meet expectations enough to earn my wage considering I am still employed. I am not taking a paycheck for work I refuse to do. If I refused to do the work, why would I have a job? You are a bit in left field with that comment.</p>

<p>wow. I remember delivering every paper to/near the porches yesterday, and still, these grumpy bastards complain away. I got fired today, and had to ask for my job back. Apparently, every single paper had to be in the middle of the porch, with a gift wrap and a freakin fortune cookie. I’m not complaining about the nature of the business. I’m just pised that these people are afraid of the 5 seconds of walking and sunlight in their faces it took to walk into the grass, pick up the paper, and walk back</p>

<p>That sucks.</p>

<p>Customers can suck. Management is all about customer service. Not enough businesses have the balls to not cave into a customers every demand. There’s that crappy feeling that ā€œman, I lost a job anyone can do.ā€ At least your boss is around. The person who ā€œlet me goā€ had another supervisor do it on the first day of her weeklong vacation. At least your boss told you directly. You get angry for a little then you realize ā€œI didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life, who cares.ā€ Basically work amounts to ***** jobs that treat you like a servant for the all knowing customer. It’ll be everywhere…</p>

<p>It is all about how you deal with this rejection. Are you going to mope around thinking about how you epically fail? Or are you going to apply yourself, find a new job, and get on with your life?</p>
