It
seems that I am in extreme need of your prayers once again.
Yesterday,
I was fired from my job. I don't want to go into all
the details as to why here.
Let
me assure you all, that I did not do anything unethical
or illegal.
I
was essentially fired because I had complained in front of a couple
of customers and another employee that my work hours had been cut.
The owner had said he had to cut hours because business had slowed
down. Then he hired three new employees after telling
me that, and no one else had their hours cut. The three
new employees made a total of 9 employees at a convenience store/gas
station that has one cash register, 7 fuel pumps, and
that is open from 5:30 AM until 10:00 PM weekdays, with shorter hours
on the weekends
So
I was told I was being “let go” for the talking and that I had
not been “happy” there for awhile.
I
suppose I should have just kept quiet and took it in stride, but
alas....I am human. I tend to gripe when I feel I am not being
treated fairly.
Whenever
the owner went out of town, it was me who was told to do the bank
deposits every day. It was me who was told to go to Sam's Club (over
20 miles away with no fuel compensation) to pick up
ordered merchandise 2 or 3 times per week during the owner's week
long vacations.
So
much for loyalty. So much for staying even after
someone ignited a pipe bomb underneath the propane tank in the early
morning hours of a November Saturday.
So
I guess it is good that I am gone after all. God never closes a door
without leaving us an open window.
I
had been there for just over 2 years, so now I need a new job.
Prayers, once again are greatly needed and appreciated!
Thank
you and God bless,
Steve
Smith
