Lethargy

So, been a bit tired lately. Guess that lethargy has kicked in. Nothing major, except, well, I overslept this morning somehow and ended up losing my job when I went in late. I set my alarm on an old phone every night before bed, it's extremely loud and obnoxious. 6 AM, every day. This hasn't happened in years, though I hadn't been employed for quite sometime, I was running my own small business.

This really fxcks things up for me though.
 
Damn dude that sucks. Can't believe they fired you for being late. I'd probably go postal

Dang. I was always afraid of oversleeping due to lethargy while on DMZ. Sorry to hear, Old Witch. Some days were no joke, just yawn after yawn. I hope you find another job soon.
 
Oucchhh that sucks man, especially for something as minor as being late (its not like you punched anyone in the face)

Hope you find something else soon

I didn't make it in till noon, but still. You would think if it's the first time they'd give a guy a break, chew me out and everything sure. I was prepared to get my ass chewed out royally, totally blindsided by getting fired.

That company is still living in the industrial age
 
What kind of work do you do if you don't mind me asking

I do a lot of different things but this job was as a tire tech. When I was in construction if I got up late I'd just go right to the job site and get to work, maybe get chewed out. That was a long time ago, building bigass lake homes and stuff.

Damn man. Try not to let it get to you. Fire up that resume, I’m sure you’ll find something quick.
 
Sh1t bro, sorry to hear that. TBH I set two phone alarms when I really have to be up cause I’ve switched one off without waking up on more than one occasion before.

Good luck on the job hunt
 
I go with the old school actual alarm clock. My phone has ****ed me over far too many times for me to trust it any longer.

Sucks bro. I feel for ya. I lost a long time job at my local hospital working in their lab because of being late. Was also blindsided. Felt really unfair too cuz everyone else seems to stroll in 5 to 10 minutes late often enough. Especially for the 5am shift. But i do it and everyone lost their mind. I had to travel from the next town over too while no one else did.

**** that ****
 
Sorry to hear that. I run a large business and would not fire someone for the first late offense. Everyone makes mistakes!
 
I can’t imagine operating a business in today’s labor market firing somebody simply for being late. I put up with more garbage than I can even comprehend sometimes. One time oversleeping would be pretty easy to document and just shrug off.
 
You'll be alright. Look at it as you'll find a better job. Unemployment rate is low. Lotta jobs out there! Company im with now is like this, high turnover and no loyalty. Pretty much fire you for looking at upper management wrong, can't stand that sense of entitlement.
