Updated thread title to reflect current events. Apparently one of the audit clients that bitched about my jeans also bitched that I said something behind her back about talking too much. She got that info second hand and I don't recall that. Basically, I got thrown under the bus.
Then the audit partners called me in and put me on probation and said they were going to make a list of items for me to improve on. We've been at odds about my haircut and I mentioned that might be a sticking point. My partner called me in and fired me. Kinda ironic because I was one of the best workers, too. The partners even admitted it.
Kinda sucks and I'm down right now, but I'm studying for the CPA exam. This might work out for the best.
who the fuck complains about haircuts? this isn't 1930!
Upper and middle management folk still stick by that stuff. I was passed over on promotions at an old job, despite having seniority and being known as a good employee. It was the DM cockblocking me, because he came in one day and saw me with long hair and corduroy pants. He decided that I was the one stealing from the store as well and was 'just waiting to catch me.'
It was shit, so I left the place. Then after I did, I was informed that the people who were stealing were the two employees he had just promoted over me. They were doing it on night shifts together. A lot of people knew about it, but didn't say anything. Nobody told me about it, because they thought I would bust them.
And all because management can't evaluate people beyond a pair of pants and a haircut.
