I was just fired.

It's true about the corporate companies.   They really don't give a crap about they're "lower" employees.  They were probably just looking for a reason to fire you and hire on someone else at a lower rate.  There's a HUGE chain here in Boise... Albertsons, and they are the same way.  My boyfriend worked there for THREE YEARS.  About 6 months ago, they started cutting his hours in half.  He went from making 400 a week to making 200 a week.  They cut his hours and hired a bunch of new people.  Then they started scheduling him horrible times... they'd have him close at 2, and open at 6.  The third time they did that, he was 5 minutes late for the 6 am shift (I know, because i dropped him off that day)  It was the first time he had ever been late to the job in three years.  When he walked in his boss said..."you're late.  If you don't care about this job, here you go."  And she showed him the next week's schedule, that had him working only 1 four hour shift for the next two weeks.  There were about 7 others there that the same thing was done to.  So he ended up walking out.  They basically forced him to quit. 

That's what corporations do.  It's awful.

I had a friend who worked for McDonalds, and, as always when you turn 18, they look for a reason to fire you. Amsuingly through, he gave one when they asked him to come into work and he said he was sick.

They asked, "with what?"

"Jungle Fever".

When he did go in they informed him that "there is no such thing as jungle fever!" and fired him.
