Search Results: he's 16

I have been fired from 13 out of 25 jobs I have held.

When I was 16, I was a lifeguard at a fitness center. This is probably my first non-seasonal job. The location had both indoor and outdoor pools. I took my job very seriously. I was a very strict rule enforcer. As a lifeguard, my job description entailed enforcing rules. I confronted and even scolded managers on duty for failing to keep their two-way radios on them, as there were many times I was left alone at the indoor pool responsible for the safety of patrons. One day, there was a tornado warning, and I cleared the indoor pool of swimmers. The manager on duty came back to question me as to why I closed the pool and tried to get me to reopen it, and I outright refused. With the thin roof that is meant to open, it was a clear danger to everyone inside the pool when the shards and debris come collapsing down.

One day, I was called into the office by my actual pool manager. I was told I received too many complaints and if I received one more, I was to be fired. I felt this was a forceful resignation and I left. In response, I was placed on a blacklist for life to not be rehired by the entire hospital/health system.

This is an example of the bullshit I had to deal with. Workplace politics, pissing certain coworkers off, etc...
