If Oklahoma had sensible employment laws this would have never happened.

Correct, Lief.  Say what you want about O.D.F., but this is outrageous.

Yeah, but then you have to live with your parents. Is quality of life not important too?

One wonders how that would work socially and/or in terms of interpersonal relations (of a certain sort).

Wow. Just wow.

Well I'll just state the obvious and say that I don't believe Bushie's account of what happened. It doesn't make any sense.

Explain yourself, Mr. Head.

Bushie was at one job, applied for another using his current job as a reference, the prospective employer called the current, current fires Bushie because he was applying for another.  It happens and it makes sense.

Not gonna debate the issue here since he supposedly doesn't want us talking about it but I will direct all of the people PMing me asking me to tell them about what's happening (or at least what Bushie says is happening) to your post (and there are A LOT of people PMing me... and many of them have rather amusingly claimed to hate or not care about the Update in the past).

Wait, that's not what I was told was happened. I are we talking about prior jobs or is this current? Putting down your employer for the past two weeks... as a reference for another job is completely daft, but this is to be expected.

That's what happened.  Bushie said that he told his current employer that it was a temporary thing (I've done the same with jobs in college) but they still turned around and canned him.  In the eternal struggle between Mr. Boss Man and the working class, I will always assume the worst from Mr. Boss Man... so Bushie has my sympathies for being treating so awfully.  I would suspect that the manager just assumed that Bushie wasn't serious about finding a CADD job and the call center being temporary.

Since the saga began, Bushie has probably been fired more times than gone for walks.

Damn, I can't read it and I would find it distasteful to add him just to read this. Can someone inform me via PM?

This is basically where I'm at.  Think it would be silly just to add him for this, but inquiring minds want to know.  We need update back asap.

And those of us without Facebook are supposed to just be permanently out of the loop! I call shenanigans on this unreasonable policy!

The trolling continues. I'm waiting for his sister-in-law to lose it on him.

Now that he has so much... eh... free time, I can't imagine it'll be long before The Update is revived.

Bushie's not going to get political with us on this Memorial Day (which is somehow re-imagined as a Christian holiday), but just fyi Obama is taking our freedoms away.

Also shouldn't be looking for a job??

Is he still living in Tulsa at that extended stay without a job? And where does his "savings" come from that he claimed he had to fall back on?
