The devil is in the details

Yes, I've been fired.

The short version - I suck at politics.  We all know this - I think I even mentioned it in my interview.

The long version - Apparently I didn't bend over backwards enough for the friend of someone who booked a conference room at Tree.  Said person gets a mad on for me, without so much as a word to me.  Said person is the company president's sister.

My manager was in tears over it.  She might be able to keep me on in some fashion through the end of the year (pres said yes, sister said no, she's stuck between them) and maybe on a 1099 basis for a while afterwards to do social media stuff - maybe enough to pay for insurance. 

At this point, I'm looking for a good bankruptcy attorney, if anyone has any recommendations.  Because with no job. no savings, and less than $200 to spare on the credit cards, it's either bankruptcy or I lose the condo.  Also could be looking to convert the second bedroom back from an office space and take in a roomate (no cats, dogs, or smokers)

2 days short of a year at the job.

Merry Fucking Christmas.

Wow - there are a lot of non-holiday-spirited managers out there. You are the second person I have heard of in as many weeks who has lost a job because of someone else's conniving.

I am very, very sorry to find this out. Here's hoping that things will work out for you in the best possible way and the shortest possible time.
