Yeah, not good.

But still, depending on the job, I don't think it would be a dealbreaker necessarily, especially if you explain it and frame it in a way that makes you sympathetic. Morale at BK was terrible, management didn't listen to employees, Batlord's second cousin (who he was very close to) died unexpectedly, etc. They need to believe it won't happen again though.

Or I can just not bring it up and say the air conditioning was becoming unbearable and I was already ready for a change anyway or something.

I thought the question though was "Why were you fired?" - or do they not know you were fired and they're just asking why your employment with BK ended? Just keep in mind, they could end up calling BK as a reference if you put them on your resume.

BK's on the application (maybe, not all the applications I sent out even had spots for work experience) but I didn't say I was fired.

No need to bring up the fact you were fired. Depending on the rest of your resume, they might not even call BK. Pretty sure HR is supposed to just confirm you worked there and call it a day, it's not like they have a long conversation about it. I don't think they're even allowed to? Idk I hate HR. Best of luck with the interview.

Relevant to my 'your day' post, actually. Between yesterday & today I got a promotion, a 15% raise (had another 10% raise just 6 months ago), hiring an underling, and mutual understanding with the president that I want to be working from home within 5 years.

I am celebrating with a drink right now. Very excited for the future.

Actually I celebrate with a drink whether there's reason to or not. I celebrated with a drink the other day because I threw a sock that landed perfectly in the hamper. THAT CALLS FOR CELEBRATION.

He can always claim to have been occupied full-time in the service of musicbanter.com to fill the gap in his resume. I'll provide a letter of recommendation
Anyway congrats and good luck Charles

Bats, if I were you, I wouldn't bring up the firing unless they asked. If they ask, say something along the lines of you made a mistake, and you've learned from it.

Best of luck with the job search.

Man at Walmart a computer will fire you if you clock in one minute late one too many times.

Haven't laughed so hard in ages. My lungs don't thank you, but I do! :laughing:
Tell him you could tell him, but then you'd have to kill him.
OF? Other Friend? Obese Friend? Obese Fanny? Occupational ****? :confused:
