Might be fired...

[Grayeagle]

Golfer dood .. if you resign you get -zero- from unemployment ..they regard that as quitting a job voluntarily.

If you are fired or laid off, you go down and apply that day, it takes about two weeks to get your first check.
That has been my experience in the past 40 years.. latest being the utter fiasco at Freedom Plaza (a long term 'care' -and I use that term very loosely- facility)

I dont know why you had to fight for Unemployment bennies .. I have never had to if I was laid off or fired.
Only been fired once in my life, workin Survey crew long ago..
..slept in one too many days my first summer out of high school
 .. was a wake up call  ..er . . so to speak

Not good to hear. But understandable.

Being new it might be put down to poor training. If the girl pushes it, you'll probably get your walking papers.


As for getting a job at another bank. I don't think it would keep you from getting a job. Another bank might write it off as poor training too.

Yes, and the old bank can't really say much bad about you without exposing themselves to risk of litigation. Any more, we look at a ref giving no comment as a bad ref.

I wouldn't worry about future employment.  EEOC regs allow people to ask if you worked there, when, and would they re-hire you.  They of course will say they won't re-hire you but the potential employer cannot ask why.  If they do ask why and that question is answered, you may feel free to hire any contingency attorney and sue them into next week.

I hate that law. It protects thieves and deadbeats. Major issue these days. To get around that we require new hires to fill out a form and if anything at any time is found to be false or left out, it is reason for dismissal.

 Now, if you live in a right-to-work state like Texas, employers can fire you at will, and without reason.  

Just to clarify... They can also require you to do your job correctly and demand quality. Things that often fail in states unionized.




I don't think he has anything to fret about. There are a lot of banks. Mark this down as a learning experience on his way to the top. If it was easy... everyone would do it.

Not for the pittance they pay bank tellers...no friggin way...I'd rather dig ditches for that pay.


If little "miss you got me in trouble with my mother and i want you fired" does anything more than squeak as she already has...I'd be surprised. You do want to make sure the bank manager knows the full details of the situation and the circumstances, if you have a corporate HR officer you can contact that might be a good idea if your boss thinks it will help...the "over draft squeaker" will most likely end up coming back to the bank with her mommy to get her account back in order sometime soon.

He mentioned that he is new employee, is he eligible for unemployment?

[68ZooM]

He would most likely be drawing off his last job, depending on which quarter he would fall into depending on the Base Year of the Claim, they have there "formula" depending on which state.

[texastc316]

Relax, no one gets fired on fridays. Monday is where they get ya.

It's a long story I won't get into but I was fired from a slimeball company once upon a time and had to fight 6 months to receive my unemployment benefits.  I won, cleared my name and moved on with life successfully.  There was much more to it but the meeting I went to expecting a promotion resulted in a termination letter.  Took me by surprise to say the least.

If he's going to get fired for being in violation of their confidentiality agreement (not a stretch to willful misconduct depending on the definitions/precedents of his state) which is something he knew about as he signed it the bank, depending on the laws of his state, has a very good case of contesting his UE benefits successfully.  If he's not going to get the benefits in the first place then there's nothing at all to show for allowing them to fire you.  If I'm not going to receive benefits and I know it I'd rather resign than be fired.

Again it's up to him to do his homework and make his own decision.  My experience and advice are worth exactly what was paid.

Flipperk, just kind of wondering how things are going.

i've gotten calls at the shop i used to run. prospective employer telling me that so n so listed me as a reference.

my response was " i dunno why he'd be that stupid".

that usually ended the conversation....and then got me a phone call from the dude...wanting to know what i told the prospective employer.

I told one of my old employees (that I fired) that he'd be better off saying that he spent the last 2 years in prison than saying that he worked for me for that time.

In Texas he would most likely be.

With certain individuals I have simply not answered but gave a good laugh as I hung up the phone. I suppose it could have gone badly but it never did.

The problem is, every American thinks they are every other American's boss at every juncture, and if they are dissatisfied they will push as hard as they can to get their fellow American fired on the spot.  

When I tended bar and managed a restaurant during grad school, I probably dodged getting fired a dozen times.  People suck.  One guy threw a punch at me as I was "escorting" his drunk arse out the door.  I pushed him and ducked.... he broke his hand on the door.  He sued the company and attempted to get me fired.  Neither outcome worked out well for him, but it wasn't for lack of effort, let me tell you.  He even offered to drop the lawsuit against the company, if they would fire me.  They did neither, and he glared at me every weekend he came in....... lol.  

The best: I had a guy ask me to fire his server on the spot, who he knew (and told me) was "in the weeds" and extremely busy, for not bringing him his refill.  When I pointed out, there was a full beer in front of him, he looked at it like we had Star Trek transported it there.  I had watched his server put the drink on the table, while he glared at her, as she served the other guests.  Then he motioned for me.... LOL.

Question is, if he was that bad, how did he work for you for 2 years?
