If You Get Fired, Can You Still Get Your Job Back?

Turnober-Intern-Post-FIA similar headline in today’s New York Post caught our attention. At first glance we’re thinking wait a second, if you’re fired why would you ever want to work for that same employer again? Dignity, people!

But then the question got more interesting. The reader was hired by a grocery store owner to work for the produce manager who — a-ha! — did not interview the reader.

“From day one he treated me like a clerk instead of as an assistant manager, rejecting every suggestion I made for improvements.”

Well, the reader got fired and the owner admitted it wasn’t the assistant manager’s fault — they were paying him or her too much for what they actually needed to get done.

Aside from wondering if another employment possibility exists there, our main point to emphasize revolves around the importance of always meeting your potential boss.
