[QUOTE=Tsyolin;41505619]They're super uptight about company policy, I think it's stupid but long term i really don't care. It was not a pleasant company to work for. I was gonna quit in 2 months anyways.
EDIT: It wasn't even while I was working, I was on my break.[/QUOTE]
It's a call center. None of them are pleasant to work for. But if jobs are hard to come by, they are usually the only ones who will hire anyone no matter what your background is.
I hope you can find work quickly, I don't know about your area but where I'm at jobs are extremely difficult to find.

and i was called one for the next few days.[/QUOTE]

Shit I'm sorry :v:
[QUOTE=SgtTupelo;41506983]I browse FP at work too. We have 1 hour lunch breaks which usually lasts around 20 minutes for me, so I can browse internet for the remaining time. My boss sometimes sneaks up on me and goes
"What's that? A massive picture of a cat? Why?"
"N-no reason."[/QUOTE]
Tell him about rust.
fired for viewing sites invoking violence :v:
serves you right idiot
Haha, what thread did they see you looking at???
The Rust Subforum, Hotgirls, or Catgirls???
Ah well, if you didn't like the job, it don't matter. :P
That's completely retarded.
I'd understand giving somebody a talk-to if they were browsing FP during work times, but on your break?
My school has such a shitty internet control that if you start using HTTPS instead of HTTP it lets you go through it.

It's also the same firewall pretty much every school in LA county uses too.
Now you'll get banned from Facepunch for viewing your job.

[QUOTE=Antdawg;41505597]you probably deserved it because come on, why the fuck would you risk going onto sites not relevant to your work?[/QUOTE]You cannot deny the gravitational pull of work reddit.
That's class A communism right there buddy-o
Not being allowed to browse the leading website of Atheism and Yelling at the other people because your opinion is dominant (and so is the other FPers, it's the most complicated ecosystem there is) is treason against the united states of Facepunch....
Also fuck their bitches and steal their lasagna
[QUOTE=Tsyolin;41505596]Call center rep, one of the shittiest, low paying full-time jobs you can get. I have no regrets.[/QUOTE]
That's really a fucking shitty job, be proud that they fired you, but you could leave by your own then that wouldn't make your chances lower to get another job, y' know.

sounds like one hell of a headache
I browse FP on my phone on weekdays and on Saturday I mostly sit at the desk and use that computer to browse FP. They recently installed chrome too, so it's much faster. I was stuck with IE 8 for a while...
PROMOTIONS!
It's possible to find a new job at Penis Corp?
well it does kind of suck that you lost a good link for a recommendation or something even if it did suck.
[QUOTE=Rapist;41505601]what the fuck why would they just fire you?
Just say 'please don't browse X when working'[/QUOTE]
Because there are thousands and thousands of unemployed people in this country who are desperate for jobs who will actually take their job seriously and appreciate the fact that they even have one instead of dicking around on the Internet.
And also, I'm not sure where you are a CSR at, but in my company, they are one of the highest paid departments (starting around $16-$18 an hour) with full benefits and free medical.
In Soviet Russia, Facepunch views You.

God dam sick of these Soviet Russia jokes especially when they are not funny.
fucking hell I remember soviet russia jokes when I played RuneScape like 9 years ago
That really sucks for you bro.
Good luck getting another.
I browsed Facepunch only ONCE at school. The next day I tried to get on it said,
"This website has been blocked for reason: Malware/Viruses."
My school is retarded.
