Triggering (SI) - Fired

zivalover16 · 10-03-2010, 09:45 PM

I just got fired from my job at an elemtary school for talking about cutting. I didn't do it front of the kids. I just don't understand.. I am really upset and just wanna cut but am trying to stop.. Ugh...this week just sucks

Did they say why? If it wasn't in front of students I'd think there had to be some reasoning...

I agree with Angelic Monster, they must have had some kind of reason?

Idk....they didn't explain anything to me....Just told me I wasn't allowed to talk about it so I had to leave....

are you part of a union or something that can get answers for you?
they should have at least explained it to you. :/

I go to college so I am working through that. I am going to the work study woman tomorrow and talking to her about it

That's a good idea. Let us know how it goes.

yeah that seems strange they didn't tell you why. seems like if it wasn't in front of the kids they'd at least have to warn you that they didn't like it being talked about before they actually fired you. definitely find out what happened. *hugs*

I lost a job for talking to a "friend" outside of work about cutting. This "friend" also had me put in a psych ward at the hospital for five days. Awesome right, first locked up for five days against my will for talking about it, then losing my job which was over $50,000 a year, that is after I worked for 5 years applying, testing, interviewing, and going to school to get it! Sorry to hear about your situation, just wanted to let you know it's BS and you aren't alone!

how on earth is any of this legal?

jrayherself · 12-03-2010, 09:52 AM

The legality is never an issue. It's political and they are all selfish! Makes me angry.

I am talking to the work study woman today and am sooo nervous. Thanks for the support. I am not sure how getting fired for si is legal...didn't think it was..I will let you know whats going on after I talk to the woman today

Hope it went okay today and you get some answers.

zivalover16 · 13-03-2010, 04:46 AM

She just asked if I was ok... I told her yea.. it was a lie though...I'm still a bit upset. While on spring break she is going to look for a job on campus for me which would be easier for me so yea...Didn't really get any answers but oh well

That is so wrong, I'm sorry you were fired.
