You couldn't fight city hall 40 years ago nothing has changed...it's gotten worse. Today you play the game as always...when you screw up you pay the consequences. The problem today is there is no recourse.

in a way im glad its over. they fired me for vaping outdoors. they were the worst control freaks i have ever worked for. furthermore they never told me they had a policy or an intention of having a policy when i got hired. the policy continually got worse. first it was i could not vape outside, then it was i had to go to my car, finally i had to leave the property. this all happened in a years span. i left the property every day during my lunch. they would leave me by myself with no on else on the property every night. there was a risk of falling, chemicals, and hot water. i was by myself so yes, i went outside when no one else was there and sneaked a vape. one day i was working by myself and the miserable "quality" woman came back after hours and saw me vaping outside. i knew that they had put forth an un-fair policy but no where did it say that vaping or smoking would be cause for instant termination. we also were never given a written handbook only an electronic form of it. no warning, no write up just you are fired. there are so many things wrong with this place, i am hoping my co-workers decide that they too will leave. i went on vacation last week, and they actually fired me when i came back met me at the door, you are being terminated. absolutely absurd, i really had to desire to continue to work there.

what is wrong with our society. smoking is a nasty, filthy habit but i think we were better off as a society when everyone smoked. in all of the years i have been working, i never thought a company wouldnt allow you to smoke or vape outdoors.

You are much better off not working for people like them. They are petty tyrants and oppressive control-freaks you can do without. You would never be happy there, they would see to that. Leave them shrinking fast in your rear-view mirror and move on to a better life. You will be happier for it, trust me I know whereof I speak.

i dont think im going to bother doing anything, they sent my my last check its over i no longer have to deal with these idiots. this place is owned by a huge corporation maybe the next place will be more reasonable. this is the very first place that had stupid policies in place regarding vaping that i ever worked for. both previous employers had designated smoking areas. it doesnt really get them anywhere, there is no benefit to controlling people unreasonably.

karma is a !@#$% and hopefully theirs is coming. the facility cannot continue forever behaving the way that they do. hopefully they will continue to have to replace people. i was better off gone anyways.

hopefully when the milk inspector comes back for his regular inspection the water is still green/brown/nasty. im sure he will question it.
