What kind of sales job is it? LOL it almost sounds as if you are selling those Kirby vacuum cleaners.
Dog the Bounty Hunter sold Kirby vacs! lol. I occasionally watch his show, and he likes to lure people out of hiding by calling them and tell them they won and Kirby Vac, they will deliver it and the person needs to be there to claim it.
You should start growing your hair out now, and keep an eye out for your own large breasted woman sidekick. Good luck with your new career! hth!
Are you sure you get unemployment if fired for a performance issue? If they have documentation of supervisor counseling and pre-warnings, you may not qualify for anything but a crappy job reference.
Back in the 1997, I got canned for asking the owner why I didn't get a raise after my 90-day Probation ended. I done great and got along with all co-workers. He didn't like that I asked about a raise and gave me my "pink slip" the day after our phone conversation. The next day I immediately called Unemployment and told them what happened. My Claim File was reopened with no problem. I was told the owner had no right firing me b/c I asked him why I didn't get a raise!

If you have performance reviews and are let go, you might not qualify for unemployment. Right now it takes forever to find a job, so start looking for work now while improving the situation at your current job as best as possible to give you more time. If you don't find anything you can still try to collect unemployment if you get canned but you can't assume you will actually get it. They do check with employers to confirm that you were let go for the reasons that qualify you for unemp. insurance.
Yesterday, I received my first performance warning. Apparently, I should be at a 3.0 performance level and my numbers add up to a 2.67 LOL. Anyways, my supervisor was "very concerned" about my performance and I have until July 31st to bring my numbers up, otherwise I will go on a final warning, which means another 3 months. It is really hard for me to pretend that I really care about such lame ass job. Anyways, should I continue to pretend that I care until I am hopefully let go from this ****ty company or what? I am not quitting this job because like I told my sup " I really love this job and I really want to do well" LOL. What a bunch of BS!
You must be on medication if you want to be FIRED for bad performance

Actually I think he must be off his medication to want to be fired.
He's an idiot, probably thinks the worse economy in the history of the world was four years ago under hated Bush. He was also think Obama is going to pay is rent and car payment.
Hate to say it. That's why I like being in a union. I get a guaranteed raise. Even the slackers gets a mandatory raise. I know some people will say that not fair,raises should be base on performance. I don't care, I'm not signing their checks.
They might just be papering y'alls files because they have every intention of letting you go and they don't want to pay unemployment. There is nothing a targeted employee can do to "save" their job because the employer has no interest in keeping you and no intention of paying unemployment (or what is it, having their account docked).

I'm sure that with such a wonderful attitude, you should find a job in perhaps 18-24 months after they fire you.
Let me tell you, I have only missed one day since I started, I have never been late, I go to work everyday with a very positive attitude and I can't help but hate this stupid company. It would be different if I was a bad employee, someone who didnt care, called in sick all the time, etc. I don't understand how sticking around is not the right thing to do, there is nothing wrong with me, they are the ones who are screwed up. There is a co-worker who has been with this company for 4 years and she has until June 30th to bring her numbers up, she is like .25 below expectations, she has already used all her vacation time, she knows there is no way she will be able to do it, everyday I go to work and think about her situation, I get more pissed off.
Haha - good one!
