So I work at a high rise condo with my dad. My dad has been working there for over 15 years as a porter. I work there part-time as a valet attendant on the weekends. It was a cool job while it lasted, Im'a college student and the job paid well plus tips. I wasn't complaining. But recently new management has shooken everything up. Three workers had been fired in the past 6 months, there are around 20 Full-time workers there including my pops. So for some reason, the new manager has not been very fond of my dad. When not busy, I try to help my dad in whatever ways I could at work. For example, he has to take out the building garbage from the compactor and throw it outside in the designated dumpsters. Those garbage bags can get heavy, over 150pounds. So the Super of the building also partners up with the manager, and it's as if they want to get rid of all the older employees to hire new employees at a cheaper wage. When the three workers were fired, they were replaced by the Super's friends. So today I see the manager calls my dad into the office. About a half hour later, he calls me and tells me that they just fired him. I was so heated, I was in shock. So my dad played it cool, and plans to appeal through the union. But that's another headache, they are a bunch of crooks also who just want to collect fees. So I walked into the manager's office, and I cursed out both the manager and super. I let them have it. I felt like Joe Pesci dropping so many F-Bombs. In the heat of the moment, I was so caught up that I let my emotions get the best of me.

I think what I did was right to a certain extent. But my friend is telling me that I should have stayed. I told him I can't stay at the same job where they just fired my dad, that's not the environment I would wanna work in.


So what would you have done NT?

BTW, sorry for the long read, just venting.

Keep it real your father is a Porter....ya'll need that money.
 
Guys Like I said it was a part-time job, I really didn't care. I can easily get another job. It wasn't about the money, it was about sticking with my dad.
 
Selling out? :lol:

Keep it real your father is a Porter....ya'll need that money.

Yea a porter in a High Rise Luxury Condo, he had worked over 15 years in. If you are from NYC/NJ area, you'd know they get paid relatively well especially since every year they get a raise. He was making close to 75k. My dad came here 20 years ago as an immigrant, and worked hard to provide for my family. My family is very fortunate to have a house and everything we need.

I guess you are the type of guy who would have stayed working while seeing your dad being fired by your same employer.
 
i agree with u on sticking with family.....but ya know....'revenge is a dish best served cold'......u might have gotten them better if u stayed at the job...who knows ...ur dad might need that once he goes through the union

but that situation deff. would have f&^%#$ pissed me off too

Sounds like pops had his head on right but you shot yourself in the foot


people get fired, deal with it.

Im sure your dad could have found another job. you just made it more difficult now that your both out of a job.
 
Meh... you'll find another job.. he'll find another job...

Dignity is overrated, but I think you did right, brah
 
Was about to say youll find another job but then saw the 75K

its cool tho... you can get another job

nothing in life is permanent
 
Don't fret bro. God just got way better things in store for you and your father, so he needed to clear out junk. I would've did the same.
 
Sadly when new management takes over this happens a lot

I hate unions but in this situation they are good as long as your dad really was doing his job not just slacking bc he could for 15 yrs
 
Nah, I wouldn't have done what you did.

I would've secretly killed them and kept my job.
