I was fired from my full-time, minimum-wage, overtime everyday Soup Cannery job.

And I couldn't be more depressed about it. I loved it there, I got along well with my coworkers (except for the deaf guy I punched), I got a lot of exercise doing the work, made some money (saved little of it) and was just generally occupied and had purpose for about two months. It felt like Summer should have felt, except I wasn't working at all through the actual summer and was broke most of the time.

Unfortunately, after leaving work 'early' last night to go vote and taking too long at the Dentist today, they fired me citing the 3 month trial period that Canadian employment comes with. I have another paycheque coming in (which I will be saving most if not all of), but it feels so empty. What am I supposed to do all day now? Post here? God, no.

I brought it on myself in a way, but I was speaking to my boss earlier in the week about lowering my hours so that my back was less sore and I'd be able to stop taking days off whenever I woke up with a back spasm. I'll really miss the people there, and in the back of my mind I kinda hope they rehire me.

Celebratory deaf guy punch? Chin up son, maybe not right now, but somewhere down the line, you'll get another, even better job!

If it was doing your back in and your boss wouldn't lower your hours, perhaps this is a good thing for you in the long run - Even though I can imagine how badly it sucks to lose your job, especially now when jobs seem to be in short supply and that you seemed to be enjoying it otherwise.

The world is your oyster and there are plenty of things you can do, and lots of hobbies for you to take up while you look for a new job - Just don't give up on life and start sitting around, whatever you do.

I'm sorry to hear you got the sack, and since it was a minimum-wage job and was causing you physical problems, it's depressing to hear that your boss sounds so unsympathetic. I have not yet been in a position where I've been fired, but it angers me that I've known people who've been rolling in late to their jobs who've just got off with a warning.
