There's only 1 thing you can do at this point.
Once you're at the meeting, don't let your boss say a word, take your pants down and shit in the room.
Afterwards you go out.

As someone who has been fired multiple times can confirm. They aren't going to schedule a meeting for you to be fired. They basically just pull you in for it.

This...
They won't give you warning as a heads up for you to blaze everyone with lead. Its a heads up that some sort of 'official' meeting with you is documented so if they need to in the future, they have a clearly defined remedy to say 'they tried' and documented it. Don't fuck up again, but I'd definitely be putting my resume out there with other companies ASAP

If you're fired for one typo, that's a place you wouldn't want to work at anyways.

>> No.29934922

It's probably an official warning. They need to do this, probably with HR present, so that they can fire you if you do it again, or that the company is less liable in the future. They will read out a prepared statement, have you sign it, and they will also give you a 'going forward' statement to sign. You will basically be expected to go along with all this bullshit, apologise, and not fuck up again.
I wouldn't worry too much, anon, it's standard fare. What you did isn't gross misconduct, and if it's your first infraction they can't fire you for what sounds like an honest mistake. You'll only get shitcanned if you refuse to go along with their bureaucratic bullshit.
Good luck.

make sure to show remorse, but stay competent.
make him think that you feel that you have a fudiciary duty to him, and let him speak when he is speaking, don't nod exessively or say yes yeah uh huh ok. Don't give excuses.

Do all of this and this meeting might turn into a promotion, haha jk, but best of luck wagie.

Getting fired is like "hey bud I wanna talk about something real quick"

You're getting brought in not to get fired, but humiliated. The fear and anxiety will make you a better wagie.

>> No.29938756

>>29933456
Not fired. Worse case an official write up. It they make you sign anything just go along with it, but start looking for a new job. An official reprimand means you are basically over at that company. Even if they don't lay you off at some point you will not be on the short list for raises and promotions.

>> No.29938785

You wont get fired. Heres how I know: I tried to off myself one time and I was locked in a hospital for a while. They take your phone, everything, clothes all that. I was in a big bedroom with a bed and nothing else for weeks. It sucks, but also feels like a "fuck it i can sleep and not give a fuck" kinda thing. Even the outlets in the room are fake so you cant shock yourself.

Anyway: After i get out i am at work one day and my boss walks right up to me and says "we need to have a meeting, it may take a bit." See, its the time, if its quick then you know. So they bring me in a room and said they normally terminate employees that no call no show for work. Funny thing is they took my phone and another patient destroyed the community phone. But because im union they couldnt let.me go.

Heres the best part: The hospital I was locked up in, I also work at. And those fucks gave me a hard time while i was still trying to off myself in THEIR psych ward. Shits crazy anon. If corporate soul deprived, evil pieces of fucking garbage had their way, everyone would be disposable and to blame for everything. But youre getting an hour meeting, that definitely is not being fired.

Welp. Just had the meeting. It was a termination notice. He said the mistake was too big to let slide and his job would’ve been on the line if he didn’t catch it. Plus he was pissed that I generally didn’t seem to care about it. Fucks sake bros, what do I do now?

Just don't let him talk you into resigning or quitting voluntarily. Make him fire you so you get severance and unemployment. If you resign, you get none of that.

Also if you can, record the conversation and TAKE NOTES. If he admits something illegal it'll help you a lot.
