...I was fired from my job. To say I didn't see it coming, well that's not true.

In the past, as with this job, I was having fun. Showing up to work an hour before time. being happy to be working with the people I was working with and doing my job. But all of that changed during the summer months. I started seeing things for the way there are. So, when the weather started turning cold, I was no longer having fun at work. This is what changed.

I asked during the summer time that I wanted to be one of the Line Cooks. I was told by the Chef that the only way was if some one quit, got fired or left. # months later, some one got fired, a Line Cook. I was told to put in for the position when The Chef, by The Chef, when he came off of vacation. The day he returned< I told him I wanted to apply for the position. He told me that 'they' are going a different way to fill the spot. One, a graduate from a culinary school, and you have to speak Spanish & French. I thought that this was unfair, but that's what 'they' wanted. I searched out to find out who this 'they' are.

I went through the chain, and no one would tell me who this 'they' is, or even if they existed. I went to The Building Manager, who is a Veteran, whom I never had any problems with. Our meeting ended with him saying that I was bullying him and I was being insubordinate. Upon clocking out and leaving, HR came down and ask for my ID, and told me my services were no longer needed. Fine.

Its been a couple of weeks now, and I have some things to say about what happened, my point of view. I REFUSED TO CONFORM TO THEIR RACIST BULLSHIT is why I was fired. All I did was ask questions, wanted some answers. Oh, was I suppose to be the 'good nigger' and just do what I was told, accept the answers I was given, and shuffle my Black Ass off and say, 'you're right, I don't qualify for the position, what was I thinking'.No, I wasn't raised that way.

But its okay, there are other jobs out there, its just takes time for one to come my way.
