Will My Boss Fire Me ???

    I've been working in a cafe for the last four months. Everyday my boss is really mean to me. He tells me that I'm not doing enough work and he shouts at me.

    Today I was cleaning the floor, and he walks over and drops a burger on the ground. "Call that floor clean, that's not clean" he shouted. He then got an omelette and mushed into a table I had just cleaned.

    I snapped. I walked over to him and looked him square in the eye. "Big mistake pal" I said. I then picked up a big bowl filled with strawberry jelly and dumped it on his head. But that's not where it ends. Two of my work collegues who he has tormented for many years then began mushing spagetti bolognese in his face.

    The whole cafe then began dancing and singing in synchronization. All the customers he had overpriced for all those years started cheering and suddenly music started playing. It really was quite remarkable.

    This was the music that started playing.


    Everyone in the cafe was dancing and then trumpets started playing. It was fantastic. We then walked out onto the street where a big parade had formed. Are boss disorientated by the commotion was staggering around while everyone was dancing and cheering all around him. It was magical. I will never forget it.

    Anyway, in hindsight it may not have been the best idea in the world as it's my only source of income and the job markets fairly tough out there. Do you think he will be mad when I turn up for work on Monday?

    If he was as bad as you make him sound, it sounds like he was a thug/bully anyway and your better off out of the place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,655 ✭✭✭delw

    Whose bowel was it - and why was it full of strawberry jelly?

    This is from some 80's film involving inheritance and love before money right?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Joe10000

    Well, he was handling bowels.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,298 ✭✭✭Duggys Housemate


    Look. These things happen. You are probably making too much of it in your head. He probably won't even remember.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 579 ✭✭✭cartell_best


    Lads, christ, this really does sound like a jennifer anniston romcom...if ya did that to your boss (granted, OPs name is indication of age)...in real life. for your boss to manage out of your job is a major realistic result here in fairness....

    Martin, did any of your story actually happen?
    Like is it completely fictional, or based loosely on the truth?

    I am going with total joke. It was the entire street breaking into song which convinced me.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,308 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    I would think you are fired sure enough. Or sacked even. Your boss seems like a prick anyways
    Is it me or the 1980's starting to creep back into the workplace?

    If he fires you report him for not having a licence to broadcast music in his premises.

    That or write a better story so you don't fail your crappy creative writing class.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭al28283


    I don't think anyone believes you did that

    This story is genuine. I was playing the saxophone in the backgrounds as the crowd began cheering. Afterwards, we all gathered round to watch the Eurovision and joyfully hugged each other.
    Quite a gay experience if I do say so myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 322 ✭✭Apolloyon


    Well your boss had a point. I don't recall you cleaning up that burger and omelette mess in your story. There he was just trying to help!

    And you know what. I'm pretty sure that parade didn't have a valid licence.:mad:
