I just got fired from a job.?

Question

I did have perfect attendance and I was a hard worker, but I got fired for two days in a row no-call-no-show. (I was sick, but i know, i still should have called). My manager fired me the next day I was at work after being sick. How do I smooth things over with her so I can make sure she won't be a negative reference when I am applying for another job?

but one weeks pay is 400...i dont think i can do that lol =/

Answer 1

"IF" you liked this job, try bartering. I've done it, & it works. Go back to your manager & apologize. Tell them you realize what you did is wrong. Ask for your old job back & tell them that 1) you will not make the same mistake twice, & 2) you are willing to work for 1 week without pay.

Answer 2

I don't blame your boss for being upset with you. People get sick, but it's the nice and professional thing to let your boss know you're not feeling well.

Now depending on how sick you were, you might be able to smooth things over by going to Personnel or Human Resources. For instance, if you were hospitalized, then they might consider that a valid reason for being out of contact for 2 days.

But outside of a real emergency situation, I don't think they'll be overly flexible. Now you could try talking to your boss and let her know how sorry you are for not calling-in.

In other words, admit you made a stupid mistake and are willing to pay the ultimate price of loosing your job. But since you had a great record up to then, you would hate to see your entire work record suffer as a result of your stupid mistake. That attitude might just make the difference and give you a decent reference.

However, it all depends on how "pissed" she is at you! Did she have a right to fire you, absolutely barring a real emergency that prevented you from being in contact. But will she hold that against you when it comes to a reference, nobody knows.

The most important thing though is whether or not Human Resources has you coded for rehire. If not, then that means they'd never re-hire you "in a million years!" Now that would really hurt, so I would suggest talking to them first and see what they say. Perhaps they'll smooth it over for you.

hi,
Stay positive..the world may feel it's falling down on you but tomorrows another day.

If you believe in yourself and feel you can contribute, their are plenty of employers crying out for people like you.Just open a newspaper and see how many job vacancies there are.

One companies lost is another companies gain.

While you feeling like this breathe try to forget about what happened and start tomorrow with the view to obtain a new job and ensuring you receive a good reference.

Try this: Create a video resume example Link 1 below
Create a video apology video

send number 1 to new employers and number 2 to you ex-employer stating why you should have a good reference.

Note: Use the power of the Internet and mention the company name in the video, then place the video on to the link below(link 2) (it's free).

Hope this helps
