Thanks for everyone for their condolonces, it has helped. I've called several times since last Thursday asking to speak to the owner and I either get "He just stepped out of the office" or "He's busy, would you like his VM?" and I have left three. Tomorrow I will be going in to turn in my uniforms and collect my check, as my supervisor told me to do. I will also ask to speak to him, maybe he would rather just talk to me FTF, I dunno. I just want to understand his logic in firing me when I had only been with him for twelve days and I had not been disiplined, ever, in the short time I was there. Heck, all the years I was in the electrical trade I made a few mistakes that could have gotten me fired but the people I worked for were understanding and all I ever got was "I'm sure you will be more careful next time" and left it at that. But I start with a new company in a new trade and I end up getting fired for someone else's mistake. I'm still hot over the whole thing but I've come to the conclusion that if the owner is like that, I don't want to be associated with him anyway. I really do believe as someone said, the Tech stabbed me in the back to save his own butt. I strive to be a good and honest employee and do things in other people's homes as I would do in my own and if an employer doesn't like that/can't see that then I'd be better off working for someone who does.
