bye bye employment. :(

well, 

Lost my job today.  Don't really know what else to say. Maybe 6 months was too early to go back. Maybe I wasn't ready. I got to many disciplinary points for a person on new hire probation. I  worked there for 2 months and 10 days, the shortest job I have ever had. I am depressed about losing my job, I feel like I was doing well, like I was a good employee.. but maybe I am not a good anything. 

I was allowed 8 points.. I got 5 for missing a shift because my daughter needed to go to the ER, I called in ahead of time and brought a DR note afterwards but since I am not eligible for any family or personal sick days I had to accept 5 points.  than I got written up for clocking in early (mentioned in an earlier blog) I got 3 points for that giving me the max allowed points.   Well apparently on the 5th I was scheduled at 10:45, my latest allowed clock in would have been 10:47:50s and I clocked in at 10:48:02.. meaning 12 seconds past what was allowed. I didn't even notice :(.. and that gave me 3 more points putting me over my limit and therefore resulting in termination. :( 

I really tried my best and I was so happy to have found a job and hoped for the best.. and now that is over and here I am losing once again.. feeling like a failure and a loser.. and I am suppose to just try again.. I'm suppose to just say.. okay, lost my home, my jobs, my cars, my grand father, my sons father, my friends, and my daughter.. and now I'm losing more but its just life and I'm just suppose to keep on going on.. expecting not to lose more, expecting things to get better.. 

I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I am always truly very grateful for everything that I have, but it just seems to make it harder when I lose things because I truly appreciate them. I truly feel like I deserved my job, and that I was good at it.. and that I was grateful for having it.. and even though I had to walk half a mile, ride a buss for over an hour and then walk another half mile just to get there.. and sometimes had to walk home at 11pm for 4.8 miles I was HAPPY to be working.. I was HAPPY to have a job and never complained.. and now I lost that too. 

sigh.. Im so doubly depressed tonight.

thank you Debra I think you are right just so hard to find justification when there are bills to pay and kids to support even when I KNOW i need a break.. but I am trying really hard and this will pass.

That job put too much pressure on you.  You need to find something a little more flexible.  You did nothing wrong.  There will be a silver lining to this cloud so think positive. I know it is hard..god I know it.....but something will work out for you.  You do derserve a break.

@Anna I agree,,.. but it is what it is.. the worst thing about losing my job is all the free time it gives me to think about what I have lost.. which of course brings me full circle around to my grief.. I miss my daughter so very very much tonight.. I am angry and sad and broken.

Mandy, that really stinks!!! What a crazy company to have no desgression in how the points fall. I have to wonder if your boss could have, would he/she have understood and forgiven the 2 three pointers at least. I still get angry that you got written up for clocking in early. That is just insane!
You will be in my prayers for finding a new, better, more understanding, closer to home type job. Hugs from me to you.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
