That sinking feeling...

TeddyTedson

I did something terrible today (I can't/don't want to give details) in work and I might be sacked tomorrow.
I'm actually dreading going in. Getting called into the office and being told to have a seat, you know how it goes.
I keep saying to myself, "the worst they can do is sack me", to make it seem less bad in my own head. Because logically thinking, losing a job is not the end of the world.

It's the wait that's the killer though, I just want it over and done with.
I hate this feeling. I get it the day before an interview too.

I'm sure boardsies know what I'm talking about.
Is there any good ways to lessen it at the very least?

What other situations do people get it?

When you get your genitals caught in something, that's the sort of thing that pains me. They get stuck in all sorts of places.

Ladies, be glad your not a man!

Start planning all the holidays, trips, fishing etc that you can look forward to if you do get the sack.
You'll be looking forward to it then.

A problem shared is a problem halved!

If it wasnt too bad you could always admit it to the boss beforehand and hope the o'l honesty policy will save you!

You might just need to have a poo, ya never know OP.

If we guess what you did, will you tell us?


This kinda helps me when I feel like that:

It's a real easy one so I better now. It will be one of the first things you think of.

A run, would that help?

Few naggins, be grand.

Get loaded....it works for me!:D:D:D





Have a beer and a shower and just try to cool down. Getting fired is the worst that can happen, but once you think the worst, it rarely ends up happening;)

That's NOTHING !!! We have to spend many hours in labour pushing a baby out of us :rolleyes:

I told you that printable degree from Harvard Medical school was a bad idea... We have been over this.

They probably don't want to fire you, it all depends how you handle the situation (to an extent, if you took a pop on the boss' desk he'll prob fire you) if you just admit that what you did was stupid, misjudged etc. And offer to take a pay penalty for it that should do it. If this doesn't work just blast them with piss and walk out with your head held high

How often do you 'accidentally' get them stuck in all sorts of things?

Hmm

lol, that made laugh at least.
The imagery of me throwing to head up in the air and saying, "You can't fire me! I quit!!"

I won't sleep at all now:mad:

I hope you dont get fired

mikemac1

Don't wait for the meeting OP, don't wait for them to call you

You go to the boss and go through it. Would be an idea for you to type up a timeline and bring it into work.

You will get credit for owning up



Well unless your slept with your bosses wife and in that case you'll be thrown out the window

A couple of years after originally getting genitals caught in your zipper no one has ever said "you know what, that wasn't actually that bad, I think I'll do it again". Therefore it's obviously worse than childbirth

Princess Peach

Teddy we can't give you advice unless you tell us the exact issue. Cause maybe it seems bigger in your head and we can reassure you. Or maybe it is a huge deal and we can console you. So tell us please.

Plus I'm super nosy.

Ghandee

Go to bed, don't think about it, rest.

Get up in the morning, eat your breakfast all as normal, then head into work, head held high.

Get to quitting time tomorrow, and nothing is said/no action taken, let out a sigh of relief and put it behind you, don't do whatever it was you did again, learn from your mistake.

If however you're called in and given the road, do not take any crap lying down, go down in a blaze of glory Teddy!
Make your name one that will be remembered for a very long time in the company, make your name be the name they fondly mention at the Christmas parties for years and years as they re-tell how you took a dump on your bosses office floor, or pissed in her handbag!

The alternative is, that your name will only ever be remembered (if it is at all) add the guy who got sacked, and left the building with his tail between his legs.


Take one for the team Teddy, I've faith in you kid.

Trousers, underwear, zips...I can expand if you wish.

Poor choice of words there...or astoundedly apt, whichever way you look at it.:pac:

TeddyTedson

I didn't steal anything anyway. I wouldn't do that!

I wish I could skip tomorrow and go to Wednesday.

Did you kill a man?

Or just bring the stapler back in Teddy.

Teddy,

Tell us what you did and I will start a thread to nominate you in Legends of the Boards.

It'd better not be bullshit, though.

Motorist

Teddy if you didnt steal or kill a fellow employee, I think you're over reacting.

Squ

Unless you grabed a birds boob, called someone a nagger, or stole something, probably the worst will be a verbal warning..

But if you did something to warrant getting sacked outright, you shouldn't bother your bollix darkening their door tomorrow.

hairyprincess

I remember fucking up once, and it was while my bosses dad was dying; so really not the best time. I got a slap on the wrist and I didn't fuck up again.

It'll work out Ted. And just remember; there's always somebody worse off than you

No, that was Keith Andews. A different guy, easy mistake though

I promise it's not bull****.
I cannot say though. I might work with some of you lot...*suspicious*

can you at least tell us what you did after the meeting with your boss? :cool:

Can you PM me what you did? Obv I won't post it here 'cause I'll be banned if I do.

Teddy your lack of courage in coming clean on this thread and owning up to your mistake demonstrates to me why exactly you got yourself into this situation in the first place. A coward is much more exposed to quarells than a man of spirit.
