Me too.
@terminated , how do you get terminated on the first day?
Hm well, i'm a fresh out of college grad.
About a week ago it turned out my DTL got termed.
So, i show up for my first day at 0530 and im knocking at the door looking like a doofus(training for LOG) and the LOG TL opens the door.
Me: "Hey sir im the new guy, EIT for LOG im supposed to be training here"
Log TL(Through inaudible window): "Who?"
Me: "Yeah im supposed to be training here i have my packet and everything and its definitely this store..."
Log TL(Through inaudible window): "Who?"
Me: (rolls eyes, wow) "dude just open the door i have a target badge im not here to rob you"
Log TL(Through inaudible window): "Who You?"
Me: (Bangs on door once very loudly, scares him, he opens door to let me in)
I then asked where the ETL LOG was and he said he wasnt coming in today and i was like wow okay, so i just sat there awkwardly and eventually follow the PMT/SFT around for about 30 minutes helping him fix a hinge on some doors.
So then finally, the ETL-HR comes in and a sense of relief fills me up because i can finally be usefull.
Unfortunately, she has no idea what to do with me and says
"Just go do some lessons on the computer"
I respond "well i dont have a password miss"
She says "well just go to the backroom there is plenty to do"
Feeling the awkwardness of the situation I get out of the offices/tsc/whatever its called, and make way to the back.
I get to the backroom and the LOG TL is no where to be seen so i end up throwing the truck for about 30 minutes (Keep in mind everyone is like who the F is this guy, looks like an exec but just aimlessly here)
They nicknamed me ETL-Wanderer
So anyways the LOG TL comes back and i still throw the truck for a bit and end up taking off my red button up shirt, and then the ETL HR and STL walk in and they see me in a wife-beater and nice ironed khakis, sweating profusely. We make awkward eye contact and i go over and introduce myself in my sweaty old tank top.
After a while the whole flowteam goes on break along with the LOG TL who was the only one in the store who knew what i was, so being left alone i went over to starbucks and took a quick 30 and grabbed some coffee, (you guys probably think im a lazy turd but there was seriously no one in the store, what am i to do lol, ETL HR/stl was useless and not nice and they just chilled in their office)
So, while im at starbucks the PMT guy comes over and asks me if i wanted to help him fix some carts and 'show me the ropes'(exact words lol) (turns out he was later termed for not fixing enough carts) (no joke)
LOG TL comes back so i start following him around again and at this point my experience has been so ridiculous that i just took my giant coffee with me and was drinking it while i was pulling and pushing, whatever. Him and i alone defeated the 7 hour autofill
So these strange and awkward events keep on happening for the next 5-6 hours(aimlessly walking store, etc)
around 3PM, STL pulls me in her office and says the ETL LOG has been terminated and then says 'so...uh...uh...ahh..uhh..termination is being processed'
(and aparently they totally forgot about me, remember the DTL got terminated just a few days before and they manage EIT's)
I was like, lol, and tell her i had a GREATTTT training experience that day.
So i pretty much had the most awkward experience that could possibly happen.
P.S. i sold a redcard that day
