Oh yeah, about that, since Sarah was wondering too...
I lost my job because I wasn't learning quick enough. Basically I was getting paid flat-rate, meaning I would make money based off of how much work I got done. The type of work I was doing primarily revolved around taking seats out of customers cars/truck, removing the fabrics and panels from the frames of the seats, and then restore them all until everything looks as good as new. It's just not something that everyone can be good at. I got the job from a buddy, and that buddy had a handful of other buddies before me who tried working the same position as me and they all ended up the same way I did; making $250 working 40-hour weeks.
Basically last Friday my boss told me that I could honestly be making more money working part-time at McDonalds, and he's absolutely right. The reason I wanted to stick with the job was because there is potential to make bank after you learn the basics. I just wasn't learning those basics fast enough, I guess.
But oh well. I have an interview with human resources at Sears on Wednesday. Picture me rollin' in a navy blue polo shirt.
