I was fired yesterday. I no longer work for Target Corp. I was told that I had a meeting with HR when I arrived at work Tuesday. Something about a recorded phone call from Friday. Well Target also records screen shots along with the phone call itself. I had been doing too much web surfing, and had found my way to a harmless site, Break.com, where I was looking at meaningless pictures, just stupid stuff, humor, unrealistic things. We've all received the emails and been to various sights of the same nature(ebaumsworld.com for instance), well, there was a video section on this site, so I was checking that out and the next one up was a Spring Break video. Lot's of girls, bikinis and thongs, and HIGHLY inappropiate for a workplace environment. Now, this was not my intention to find such a video. Also I was not paying any attention to what was written on the site, as there was listed; I was informed by HR; a full lungth description of the video. I was mearly looking for funny things to amuse my time while waiting for a phone call to be routed to me. At the instant one came in, this video was starting to play. I was just under my 90 days, I was at day 85. Sunday would have been 90. I was told there is NO tollerance for inappropiate material within 90 days of employment and that I am since being let go. I pleaded for a warning, or a write-up to go in my file, but no, this was the only action to be taken. Well, I have deffinately learned my lesson. But now the question is, "What do I want to do now?"
On the bright side....
Things have worked out between me and Ally, I think we're cool again. And things are starting to take off for my pursuit in radio, I've been spending a lot of time with my friend Dan and kicking back in the studio, learnin the biz. We'll see what happens!
