How have you been fired?

1 Answer

Answer :

No the actual part where I got fired was kinda sad, but when I think about it I guess it’s kinda funny. I got fired by a boss who really genuinely loved that I was his employee. His name is Jothi Jothishankar (real name), and he’s Indian, he’s into meditation and yoga, and I thought that was cool, because so am I. When we were caught up on work, we would talk about those things, or spirituality, or his history, or school, or my future, etc. He even threw all us employees a party to celebrate our thriving business, and it was a semi-meeting, which was mandatory, too. We took pictures and in one picture was me and Jothi, and I actually picked him up in my arms! like I was carrying a giant baby. Im really not sure if he secretly didn’t like that or not, now that I think about it, but he was definitely laughing at the time, and saying in his Indian accent, “Cory iz bee-eng silly!”. Then I showed up late for work one day, opening in the morning. I was like “Shit, Im so sorry, I should have been here earlier, but we’re not busy now, I know I can catch up on all the stuff I missed!” He was like “I already did it”, and I was like “I should just go” with my head all hung down, and I walked out. My coworker friend said she later talked to Jothi about me getting fired and told me that Jothi told her he cried after he fired me lol, I didn’t want to believe that was true, cause it sounded so silly, but I actually think it’s also quite possible he did cry lol, and to think: just two weeks before, he was in my arms! lol (which I wasn’t embarassed to do at the time, but I sure am embarassed for myself that I did that, thinking about it now in light of everything.
