| OP, the fact that you send juvenile insulting texts and you had a falling out with somebody only proves you have a lot of growing up to do before you can hold down decent employment. |

How cruel and nasty. Some people on this forum are so ew. |
| Some people on this forum live miserable lives and get off on being dicks to strangers |
Very true. The sad thing is, then some other miserable cow will come along and write, "Can I be your friend?" or +1 the comment. When in the real world two miserable gits would be sitting in separate corners and the nice people wouldnt have to deal with them. |
| Sorry OP. I can't believe you were fired for that silly comment. |
Seriously? One jokey text between supposed friends is grounds to be fired? Sorry, OP. It sounds like your boss is extremely insecure. He or she should understand that coworkers sometimes need to vent about the boss. Hope you got some severance and that you find something fast. |
Sorry that happened, OP. Hope you'll be able to find another position quickly. Don't make the mistake of thinking the posters criticizing you haven't made similar mistakes, by the way. Doubt there's anyone who hasn't slipped. Granted, yours was a big slip: live and learn. Good luck. |
And the OP got fired for being a dick to the boss. It doesn't make you less of a dick just because the target found out about it. |
| OP, in the words of Donald Trump, "never trust anyone". He is hardly a role model for the average worker, but that is very true. Good look, the short term may not be great, but you know better for the next time. |
| OP were you making fun of the boss's lisp or something? |
| Was the mispronounciation of swift due to an accent due to an ethnicity? Maybe you were being racist. |
|
The dumb, brown nosing co-worker should have gotten fired, too. |
|
Op here. No, my boss isn't ethnic. Just a very white privileged woman.
I work in marketing for a winery. The falling out with the coworker was a long time ago but we managed to put our differences aside and be professional. This coworker is close friends with my boss. |
| Your boss is petty. |
