Everyone in my news feed is LOLing @ this poor sap who made the entry-level internet mistake of complaining about her job online then getting promptly fired. Colossally stupid, right? Especially since she actually tagged mentioned the name of her employer, her delicious, delicious meat and cheese wrapped in flour employer, in the tweet. What a fucking idiot.
Except,woops, I know exactly how she feels, because the same thing happened to me the other day.
The difference is, one of us was complaining about a corporate franchise with no sense of humor, and the other one was complaining about a burrito store.
So, to recap, I got fired over Twitter, for a tweet I sent out as a joke, from a job I didn't even get paid for at a comedy website whose primary purpose is talking shit, by a guy who basically taught me how to be the very specific type of dickhead I turned into. That has to set some sort of new record for levels of depressing irony. Also related:THE FUTURE!
Of Course I kid the good folks at SBTVC, a usually hilarious site, which is exactly what I was doing in the first place. :/ Anyway, thanks for the meme-eries. MISS U ALREADY HORRIBLY HATEFUL COMMENTERS.

The thing is: she DIDN'T tag boloco in her tweet:
https://twitter.com/#!/AllHailMaryJane/status/144243147692720129
So the CEO just saw it -- a search, a Google Alert, who the hell knows -- and decided to be a douche.
oof, did you seriously get fired for that? i thought it was a joke.
I honestly don't know, but when in doubt make a blog about it and sort out the details later.
Hrm, interesting, looks like she didn't tag boloco. I shall update.
Agreed the CEO guy is being kind of a douche about it, who doesn't complain about their service job? But it's probably a good lesson - yet another one - that nothing you say online is private.
Wait Luke did you actually get fired from SCTVB? Like, really?
I think so. Who knows. Never heard back from Gavin after that post/emailing him, and the guy who actually liked me, Arv, just left recently as well, so I guess so. If I wasn't I probably am now.
Oh the guy from Vice, I know him.
cool story?
PTSOTL is the new SBTVC. when ben leaves there will be no reason to go back.
Dude! Now you need to blow up what that whole Jennee thing at SBTVC was all about! And are you sure you’re not mistaking getting fired for just not sending out a recent piece that would probably be up on the site in a matter of hours?
@anon: thanks, i'm a big fan of ben's. i like sbtvc too, it's usually pretty good, sometimes not, like everything else in the world.
@anon2: Eh, pretty sure it was just a gag, but never got the actual whole story. As for the second part, maybe so, who knows. If they want to post some of my stuff I'd be happy to share because the site has been good to me for the most part.
I like this site quite a bit, even if it doesn't have as much traffic as SBTVC. Yet.
Luke, broski. Brooooski. Do you really not know why you got dumped by Street Boners?
Because I'm a shitty writer and I'm not funny and everyone hates me?
Ha. Come on. What is a blog without quality content? It was a case of the G-man saying "if I want this done right, I gotta do it myself (with a little help from Goad - he owes me a favor)." Seriously, what was all that shit you assholes were posting about photography and positive-politics-nouveaux?
They should do a lot more conservative political stuff on that hipster culture blog.
^Can you post a link to ONE "conservative political stuff" type post on SC?
Yeah, I always thought the best stuff was when Gavin was being funny, he should do more there, it would be better for the site. I'm a big fan of his comedy writing and always have been.
I don't know what this "fired" shit is you're going on about. It's simple. Send good shit and it goes up. Clearly there's a dearth of good shit because every other day they're forced to put up bad shit.
BTW, the maestro gave an epic performance the other night:

Want to poke Dana Perino with my penis.
BolocoCEO dude is now posting like he feels bad and is offering to talk to the girl about what it is about her job that sucks.
"I added @ so my team would spot it for sure. But I know how it now looks. Sent her private apology."
"we aren't firing her. I can't take it back - can only sincerely apologize to her - done. We "lurk" for "Boloco" constantly ;)"
(the winky-smiley makes it all right)
WE SAVED THIS GIRL'S JOB!
Fuck, man, so much more effective than change.org.
I don't even understand twitter, when people post tweets I don't know how to read them and when I go to the page I can't read the conversation.

I see what you did there. Here's what I think, it's pretty crazy so hold on for a minute. People who attack someone in the street should go to jail and be punished for it. People who are verbally abusive and racist should be shamed for it but should not go to jail.
So, in conclusion, all Muslims are violent, and the liberals run the court system in the UK!!!
Just watched the video. YIIIIIKES. Couple questions: Why does dude keep falling down? Is he shit faced? Also, how angry does a woman have to be keep taking haymakers from a guy and going back in for more just so you can kick a woman on the ground?
Hoooooooof. In light of the reduced sentence, the gang of Muslim women should, at the very least, be subjected to the comments section of Boston Barstool Sports.
ha^ I don't think those broskis could handle them.
Popfop submitted a piece to SBTVC and was told straight out that they aren't doing political pieces anymore because "it drags the site down".
Any resolution to your situation?
Yeah, so it seems. No.
No fear, Luke. There is always this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8AUPSfgk18
