Esther Gets Fired from Several Jobs

Esther has had a lot of jobs because she gets fired from most of them eventually. This usually happens at the 1 year mark for some reason, but the shortest job lasted 2 weeks. One reason may be that she never gets along with the Human Resources people, which is not good.


1. California Pizza Kitchen
After getting fired from her previsous job, Esther needed money ASAP and had to look for a quick and easy job to a make some fast cash. She applied to everything, but in desperation decided to try something that she has 0% experience in - waitressing. It did not seem to hard and the money was decent, so she applied to a new California Pizza Kitch (CPK) that was opening soon.

She was hired and the first 2 weeks would consist of training. Esther thought that was awsome since she wouldn't actually have to work and still get paid. Even better, she could get free food while training! However, she did not learn much in training. On the second day of actually working, she was fired.

It may have been because the appetizers would come out after that entrees because she put the order in wrong. Or, because she forgot to give a customer the free birthday ice cream and totally ignored any birthday celebration request.

2. JWT Advertising Agency
Esther got drunk at the Christmas party and tried to fight the Director of Human Resources. Once rumors of the incident got back to her manager, she was quickly fired. For details, read: Esther Gets Drunk at The Office Christmas Party - Part 1

3. Y&R Advertising Agency
There may have been an international concpiracy involved, but Esther got fired again from another advertising agency for a combination of reasons. Though, they never said why, so it could be any one of these resons:

• Esther was sleeping with a coworker who eventually dumped her and started dating the Human Resources Director. As a result, the office was a bit awkward and Esther thinks the HR Director wanted to get rid of her to keep her away from the guy.
• Esther accidently insults her boss when she did not realize the conference call phone was not on mute.
• Esther tells her boss that while on an out of town training event that the company paid for she felt like she was “on vacation”.

While drunk yelling, standing, and pointing at a random lady that she did not know was the Human Resources Director, Esther was scolded by the party supervisor who said, “We don’t act like that around here. Sit down!”

Go home, Esther! You're drunk!

After finishing the meal, Esther began to look for her purse which had been lost at some point during the last 10 hours of drinking. She decided to look around the restaurant, but did not realize that little-by-little her coworkers were leaving and getting back on the buses to go home. Since she was the only one from the whole company left, a restaurant employees noticed her stumbling around and escorted her to the buses. But it was too late. When they made it outside, the last bus was leaving the parking lot. Oh no! Now what?

Esther did not find her purse, so she had no money, keys, or transportation to get home. She was about 1.5 hours away from home, drunk, and stranded. With no other options, the restaurant staff took pity on her and found a employee to drive her home. The next day she had to go to work and it was not pretty.

Since the office party was on a Thursday, Esther had to wake up on Friday to go to the office. Arriving around 10:30 a.m. with the worst hangover ever, she sneaked into the office. Then came the consequences from the night before -- she would have to email HR ask if anyone had found her purse. She tried to write the most polite email possible, not knowing that there was already some controversy about her stirring in the HR department.

Thankfully, someone found her purse and they were going to send it to her, but the email reply from HR was not so friendly -- clearly something had changed. But why? It was only later that Esther realized that the lady she yelled at was the Director of Human Resources. 1 month would pass before she found out.

During the next month, things started to change. Esther noticed that her manager was becoming increasingly frustrated with her for no reason -- even growling at her at one point when she asked what the conference call number was! Then, one of her coworkers told her that there were rumors about her from the Christmas party. Still, she did not think that was a big deal. She said, 'So what if I got drunk at a Christmas party. Who cares? It’s not like I was the only one. Noone is going to notice.'

Well, she was wrong. The logic may have been reasonable since she was drinking with her whole team, which was 5 other people who were also drunk. However, a couple of weeks later after another office party that got out of hand with some visiting Mexican coworkers, open tequila bar, and mariachis; she was called into a team meeting.

The no one knew what the surprise meeting would be about, they could not have expected anything worse to happen. As the team manager and director stood in front, they began to explain what they had heard about the Christmas party. Little-by-little, they said that they had been told that members of the team had been making out, falling, passed out drunk, missing the bus, and fighting. Esther said that her teammates were shocked! Even though they were all guilty of drinking, clearly the worst behavior was by her. Later that day she was fired.

Reasons for firing were unclear. Her boss told her about some error in a campaign that supposedly happened back in December, but that was a lie. The real reason was the drinking, but since legally that could not fire someone for being a badass party monster, they had to make up some work-related excuse.

Esther Gets Drunk at The Office Christmas Party - Part 1

Esther started a new job after being fired from her previous 2 jobs unexpetedly in the last 3 months. Since she needed the money she had to take the next available job, which did not pay well, but she had no other choice. She figured she would work there for a couple of months but look for something better at the same time. Luckily for alcoholic Esther, after three days into working at the new job, the company was having its yearly Christmas party.

If you have been reading other articles in the blog, you know by now that Esther is an alcoholic. She likes to drink and party and it has been that way since she was 13. After all those years of drinking, you would think that she has learned to hold her liquore, but apparently not as she was fired from her job after getting too drunk (white-girl-wasted) at her office Christmas party. This is what she told me...

Esther said that she did not plan for things to go so badly since she only new about 5 people out of thr 800 employees who would be at the party. Because of this, she thought that she had complete anonymity and that even if she did get drunk, no one would know who she was. She would stick to hanging out with her immidiate coworkers who also partied hard.

The day began at 8 a.m. when the bus was to leave from the office to the location of the all.day party. Esther expected everyone to be on time so she arrived 30 minutes late, but found that the bus had already left - not a good start! She ended up catching public transportation (3 buses) to finally arrive at the location about 2 hours away. Once she arrived, the beer drinking began at about 10:30 a.m.! It wasn{t until after lunch that the dancing and music started with waitresses serving liquor. By 6 p.m. she had already madout with a coworker and got yelled by the HR supervisor for playing around the dance floor.

By 9 p.m. everything had gone well, but she was very drunk. That is when the shit hit the fan in a series of unlucky events. Unfortunately, when Esther gets drunk, she gets aggressive and likes to fight. Apparently she got in a fight with an unknown random coworker because she was told that she could not sit at the same table with a group on unknown coworkers. Basically, she felt insulted that the lady at the table did not allow her to with them, so she went off on her with a verbal attack. ¨Who the fuck do you think you are? You aain't shit¨, she said to the lady at the table. She later was to find out that the random lady was the Director of Human Resources. Uh-oh!

During that tyrade, she was promptly scolded by the party supervisor.

Esther Likes To Steal

Esther make look innocent, but she is a thief!

Esther began stealing with another friend that we had. They specialized in stealing clothes and underwear from deparment stores. They liked to steal expensive underwear by trying them on in the dressing rooms, laying on like 3 bras, then walking out. Pretty easy actually. I think her freind got caught once, but Esther never did and this may be why it lead to more stealing.

Eventually, the items that were being stolen became more expensive. To do this, she transitioned from stealing from department stores to stealing from employers. At one point she worked at a Korean cell phone store. She stole phones from there and even gave one to me as a gift, so sweet!

For some reason, I was not involved in the stealing. I usually just heard about it from Dale or her other friend about it after the fact. Dale and Esther were like partners in crime who planned stealing sprees together and then spend some of the money on me. I always wondered how they had so much money and was happy to have such generous friends, but eventually I figured it out.

I think the most extravegant plan to perpetually steal from an employeer on a steady basis was also planned with Dale. This began when Dale got us a job working in a really strange situation. There was a man that he knew through the Boy Scouts that sold rare coins from his basement. The basement was full of rare coins, bills, and $1,000 bags of quarters. Our job was to take the coins in the bag and roll them into $10 rolls of quarters. It was a job that we did after school. Eveyday, the 3 of us would go to the basement and start washing and rolling coins for hours. It was almost like slave labor in an old dingy basement with a fat old white man watching us and not doing much else. After a while, the old white man became more trusting and left us alone with his stash of money. The basement was very interesting as it had Nazi coins, double-sided coins, old dollar bills, gold coins, and other rare items.

This is what tha bags of quaters looked like.

The point of the story is that we started stealing on a regular bases. It started off with stuffing the $10 rolls in our shoes or clothes. However, Dale and Esther planned a scheme that was even more of a cash cow. After Dale and Esther began living an extravegant life of highschool students, they finally told me that they had been stealing even more than I had imagined.

There plan was that they brought luch to work in a large cooler. They would fit one of the $1,000 bags in the cooler and walk out at the end of the day. The money bags were heavy and piled under our desk - probably about 20 bags at a time. The owner was so unorganized that there was no inventory system so he never noticed. I am not sure how many bags they stole, but they never got caught and it was actually very easy, especially because they seemed so innocent.
