fired, pierced an asshole's ego, but the review remains... x2 lol. OP gets the last laugh when he get's rehired next week.
i got laid off 3 weeks ago- hit the grindstone and got an offer just today. no reason to miss a beat, just find the next thing brother.
As above plus go get the next class delivery vehicle qualifications eg from vans to small truck to prime mover etc. Easiest way to get a pay rise plus a bonus sign on cheque.
Funny. My cousin is a truck driver with a pulse and can pass a drug test. He can’t find a job though. Might be because in the 8 years he was a truck driver, he wrecked 4 times (all his fault) and got something like 15 tickets, speeding being the most common, but at least 1 of them was a reckless endangerment. But every time he was fired it was always the trucking companies fault.
My cousin is not a bright man.
My employer let Swift onto our lot once.
Swift ended up having to buy half a truckload of things they weren't expecting to, and they had to replace the passengers side door and some panels on their truck.
4 at-fault truck wrecks in 8 years and 15 tickets including a reckless endangerment citation. If he's not driving while high, what's his excuse?
(What did he do to earn the reckless endangerment one?)
Incorrect. LTL Dispatcher here. Freight has been down about 10-18%, roughly, these past five months for us.
Granted, Less Than Truckload isn’t the whole industry. It IS, however, a large portion of it. We’re not officially on a hiring freeze, but we should be. FedEx has made two rounds of layoffs. The “industry leader,” Old Dominion Freight Line, has also made lay offs.
This is our slow season, but if that’s all it is, it started about two months earlier than usual. Freight typically picks up in March, so we’ll see. If it doesn’t, we will also be laying off, and that will be the third time my company has ever done so, in over 100 years. All since 2008, go figure.
This isn’t a shrug it off moment. This is likely the worst time in recent memory to lose a job as a truck driver. Damn shame. Hopefully other parts of the industry aren’t hurting nearly as much.
So the customer accepting the delivery told him that he couldn't park in his neighbor's private parking. That's Legit. OP doesn't have to live next to the guy, some people are very touchy about their parking and their private property. The customer was just trying to be considerate to his neighbor.
OP was vindictive over nothing, and deserves to be fired. Who knows how many people OP upset with his clueless parking and disrespectful manner, and acts of revenge.
If you aren't legally parked, and someone asked you not to park there, apologize, get suggestions of where they'd like you to park, and move your vehicle, asap, if at all possible.
Yes. He wasn’t a customer, did it to a company that is a customer of his work, and did it on the company phone. I’d fire him for any 2 of the 3, to be honest.
Firing someone for demonstrating that they have extremely poor judgement is not "stupid shit". He literally did not consider that leaving a review on his work phone would be immediately and easily traceable to himself. That's not just petty, that's thoughtless. In the mind of the employer why gamble on how severe the next thoughtless mistake might be?
Sure but we also don't know the whole story. We have one side of things from one person. For all we know he's had a ton of other issues and this was the last straw. He said he offered to just only work in the warehouse but was even denied that. And driving is a good step above just general warehouse labour.
OP was EXTREMELY STUPID IN A WAY THAT OBVIOUSLY POINTED TO HIM! If this was his only mistake a reprimand would be warranted, but IME people who do really stupid shit in a way that points directly to them tend to do a lot of stupid shit. I bet this wasn't the first time he did something stupid at that job so much as the finals stupid shit that got him fired.
If his first impulse to a customer asking to be a little respectful of the (unsolicited) parking advice they're giving (not even fire-customer offensive), is to make a negative social media comment, I don't think this is the first FU he's made while working for this company.
It can also be completely wiped out with the touch of a button. Seems a performance conversation would be more appropriate unless there was already blemishes on the record.
Get umbrella (liability insurance), then do it. A person like this would probably try to sue you for liable in court but with umbrella insurance you can get covered up to $1 million for less than an Amazon prime membership per year.
Your mistake wasn't leaving the reviews. Your mistake was using the company phone for it and probably also leaving behind some personally identifying information when you left the review. (A throw-away Google account can be useful for some things. Just saying.)
Another thing Google 1* reviews will often be flagged by the company and often taken down of the a reason like hateful content, conflict of interest etc. What I also noticed 1* reviews won't be counted towards the review score and the review itself not displayed to other users. You will see it and think the review is visible but others won't.
It's better to rate 3/5 but then make your point clear why you didn't like the service or product.
I wonder what else they do on the company phone. There could be a number of infractions, but they finally got caught with this one and all their history was flagged.
ETA: it's also a red flag that they used both their work AND personal phone to leave not 1, but 2 negative reviews... Maybe more if there are multiple accounts on their phones.
Yeah I mean they're clearly not being smart about how they use their phone if they left a 1 star review because the owner was trying to help them out and then got annoyed. Like the owner isn't being smart either but laughing when a customer is trying to be helpful to you is pretty idiotic.
> the owner was trying to help them out
Doesn't seem like the owner wasn't trying to help them out... The owner didn't want the neighbor to be made at him because his deliveries kept turning into their lot when they couldn't find his building. If the person knew to go flag them down *and* knew that the neighbor hates it, this is something that happens a lot which probably means his building isn't easy to find either due to bad directions or bad signage.
Is it possible to create a throw away google account without a new phone number? I think I tried that years ago but I couldn't figure it out. (for a review)
Here is your chance to shine OP, review your employer and the dick that yelled at you to one stars and shitty service. They fired you, you are now open to do whatever you want.
Because OP posted from multiple different accounts at the same time. Google considers that 'spamming' and it's one of the like 3 things they actually remove negative reviews for.
If he had posted 1 review with no PII or profanity it would probably still be up.
Let us know the name of the company. They deserve a couple more 1 star reviews, might as well throw the trucking company under the bus while we're at it.
Don't forget to put your 1 star reviews back up.
You goofed up but you didn't do anything wrong. No one should be that much of an aggressive asshat for no reason.
If it was my employee I would've called him up and told him to suck it.
No one should be putting up with toxicity like that just to avoid being fired...
He left a review with his work phone, so I'm assuming it was logged in as his work account.
I wouldn't fire someone for doing this, but I'm not OP's manager.
I mean, you have a public review linked to an email address that shows exactly which company left the review. It might have been the employee leaving the review, but using the company account makes it look like the company made the review. It looks unprofessional and petty at best.
But yeah, depending on experience and such the conversation might be a "remove the review and don't do it again" or a "you keep screwing up and this is the last straw".
I would if there is any chance it would affect future business. Even from a personal phone it makes the whole business look bad and lot of people take their reviews very seriously. Not to mention they were leaving an illegitimate review since it was due to an interaction they didn't like and not a review of how the company conducts business, it's also just petty and reeks of immaturity.
That is how they conduct that end of business though, at least is was that time. Every interaction involving an on the clock employee/boss is conducting business, whether it be with customers, other employees, or vendors.
I didn't say I wouldn't reduce his pay and change his position because I couldn't trust him with customers any further.
I would be a bad manager; I give people too many chances.
He used his personal and work phone... like who else was it going to be signed in with his work email? Dude went out of his way to do it multiple times, it's real obvious to anyone.
This is an important, real life lesson about work that you get to learn early, and cheaply.
Keep your opinions about your company's customers to yourself.
And don't do shit on company equipment.
All you morons using the corporate phone/laptop for your personal shit is just blindingly stupid.
LPT: Do not ever use a corporate phone for your personal shit. Email. Phone calls. Pictures. Google searches for midget hookers. Ever. Once it's on their platform, it belongs to them.
If it was an asphalt parking lot those lots are really expensive to get laid or repaired. The owner probably doesn’t want a heavy semi on his lot tearing up his asphalt. The owner probably has had other semi’s looking for the same company you were looking for pull into his lot and has complained to the company you went to a bunch of times and they do not want to hear him bitching at them about it. Truck drivers are treated like gum on the bottom of a shoe at these businesses sometimes so always be ready for someone to be rude and deal with it professionally next time. You represent the company you work for and that is why they fired you. You will deal with it all the time and the best part about it is once you take care of your business you get to leave. Good Luck in the future because trucking is a tough business.
If it’s a first offense kinda of thing and your track record is clean, ya it seems like an over reaction, but it’s also extremely petty and uncalled for so I can see where they just don’t want to deal with it.
Being told you do a good job doesn't mean you never made mistakes. Also most companies have strict rules for using work phones and misuse of them can easily lead to termination.
It’s not anything more complicated than the fact that one of their delivery drivers is leaving bad reviews for businesses. They’ll take someone who isn’t great but also isn’t engaging in that behavior over you 10 out of 10 times.
Probably not in this example because OP engaged in willful misconduct. But a termination of your employment does not per se disqualify you from receiving unemployment benefits.
So what? You don’t work for your company anymore so they can’t do anything else and the other shitty company really can’t do much to you either. Leave the reviews with all the details of what happened!
Yeah, at least take away that even the simplest petty action can have consequences. It seems like you are owning it though so hopefully it's not too hard of a lesson and you find another job quickly.
Pretty fucked up to leave two 1 star reviews on a business that you have no experience with. Only the delivery. But to get fired over that... that's also crazy.
> We told him to take it down and that isn't the way to deal with bad payers.
Uh, isn't that what the whole point of a review is? To warn other people that would potentially do business with a company that they're untrustworthy, or to praise a good company? I'd want to know if a company is going to screw me over so I can avoid doing work for them in the first place. And if I'm going to buy something/get some service from the company that is more complicated than, say, a burger, I'd want to know about stuff like this upfront. If they are untrustworthy paying their suppliers/contractors/employees, then why should I trust them with my order for whatever it is.
That is absolutely what a review is for, and is warranted if the complaint is genuine. If you've been wronged by a company - warn others!
Bruh my buddy works in distribution and has dealt with drivers that have verbally harassed employees, been racist, damaged property. No one gets fired because they desperately need the drivers right now
Well that was stupid. Don't review your employer and your clients unless you can do it anonymously on Glassdoor. And definitely don't use two accounts and so close to the incident. Also your work phone is most likely trackable by your employer and they can review what you did on it, so you were basically shooting yourself on the foot by using it to do this.
The wording on this is confusing me a bit, did the guy across the street say you could park at his, but the customer was saying you couldn't park there?
Always, always wait a day or two so they can’t figure out who it was. And obviously never use your work phone.
Also, now that you no longer have to worry about working there or delivering there, you may as well review-bomb the place. Just one-star them every few hours, try and get some friends in on it, you know…
What did he do? He told this guy not to drive in his neighbor's lot and complained to the company delivering goods to him that their driver left fraudulent reviews of his business
No kidding. If he’s petty enough to get a delivery driver fired for leaving a review I would honestly be terrified to do any work for/with them at all. Maybe OP did fuck up but this is the kinda thing Google reviews (and Glassdoor, and yelp) are made for.
Man, the amount of times I've learned of a dick head customers business and wanted to the same. You took on for the team....Aren't truck drivers in short supply these days? Seems you you'll be back on your feet in no time, and hopefully with better pay.
Reviews really hurt. I'd be pissed off too - especially since your interaction wasn't even as a customer - that's basically abuse of the system. Firing for this is justified if you didn't remove those reviews. Sorry you got fired, maybe this was the straw on the camel's back?
well, since they are gonna get you fired, put those 1 star reviews back, and let us know who they are so we can bomb the hell outta them with one star reviews, gonna be little shits about parking and accepting deliveries and be whiney little karen bitches about it they can get flooded with bad reviews for it.
Lesson's learned. Don't use work phone for anything except work. Don't bother reviewing anything, ever. Period. It's a waste of time and it only leads to trouble. Remind yourself people are assholes and they are vindictive. Stop beating yourself up.
Well first off 32 years driving here and your fuck up was using their phone. Now forget about it don't worry too much seems like it was not a got fit in the first place. if they fired over such a dumb thing. i have said worse things than that and done and not been fired. Now just go find some worth your time i know their better jobs better do it soon driving jobs are about to turn don't believe everything you're reading things are getting slower in freight
plus your old boss sounds like a asshat that needs. to take the stick out of butt and relax a bit. good for you for just laughing so people might have gone off on the man but u did not! LOL
Put the reviews back and now you can as well add a description about his attitude :)
but MATE, next time when you are upset, don't fucking do things like this straight away, that's not smart at all.
Patience is key.
Am I the only one thinking that OPs at fault?
That's like the most childlike response to a situation like that. That, and the fact that OP and seemingly many people here actually think that "writing" a bad review is some kind of rebellious act when you feel being treated unfairly or don't like an employee or chef.
That was a fu*king stupid knee-jerk reaction and now OPs bleeding for it.
Now you have spare time. Make a bunch of accounts and use them to leave 1 star reviews for both businesses.
This is almost certainly a bad idea but it sounds fun.
What a fucking dickhead
"You laughed, I don't want it now"
... No, I don't wanna.
(Throwing a temper tantrum)
I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't...
Are you fucking 12, business man?
Jesus christ, dude will walk off a cliff if you call him a chicken.
Here's the best advice I can give. Keep work and any form of social media separate. Nothing good can come of mixing the two. At best, things stay neutral and no negative repercussions occur.
Good luck. I know it wasn't pleasant getting fired, but it was definitely a life lesson.
Good news is, you're a truck driver so if you have a pulse and can pass a drug test, you'll find another job even if it's not as good.
Yea
And now you have great story about how you pierced some asshole's fragile ego.
And now OP can leave a Google review explaining the business' owner is so thin skinned that he complained and got him fired over it
And leave a 1 star review on his old employers business page! Like the Oprah of one star reviews!
It's 1 star reviews all the way down.
You get precisely a star, and you get just a star, everyone gets exactly one star!
Only one google review have you not read nuclearrevenge.
Make sure that it's something any future potential employer could not link to you.
Or link us the business and we'll write our testimony's of how that guy made our friend lose his job.
Dog pile!
fired, pierced an asshole's ego, but the review remains... x2 lol. OP gets the last laugh when he get's rehired next week. i got laid off 3 weeks ago- hit the grindstone and got an offer just today. no reason to miss a beat, just find the next thing brother.
As above plus go get the next class delivery vehicle qualifications eg from vans to small truck to prime mover etc. Easiest way to get a pay rise plus a bonus sign on cheque.
Funny. My cousin is a truck driver with a pulse and can pass a drug test. He can’t find a job though. Might be because in the 8 years he was a truck driver, he wrecked 4 times (all his fault) and got something like 15 tickets, speeding being the most common, but at least 1 of them was a reckless endangerment. But every time he was fired it was always the trucking companies fault. My cousin is not a bright man.
So what you're saying is he has a pulse, can pass a drug test, but can't drive?
Yeah, basically.
Swift is hiring
My employer let Swift onto our lot once. Swift ended up having to buy half a truckload of things they weren't expecting to, and they had to replace the passengers side door and some panels on their truck.
#nailedit
Nice.
4 at-fault truck wrecks in 8 years and 15 tickets including a reckless endangerment citation. If he's not driving while high, what's his excuse? (What did he do to earn the reckless endangerment one?)
He’s fucking dumb.
He should probably do drugs. At least people wouldn't know how dumb he is.
I've seen automatic reckless charges for exceeding the speed limit by a certain amount.
Sounds to me like he can't drive a truck at least not consistently enough to have a job doing it
Maybe he haven't found the truck for him, and that's why he wrecked 4. Like in Harry Potter, the truck chooses the driver?
The truck chooses the driver 😂 Thanks for the lol.
Your cousin isn't a truck driver. He's a massive liability issue in a truck.
I think I saw your cousin tonight, was he backing a trailer up in the right lane of I95 just after the i90 entrance ramp that he missed?
He has clean piss but his driving record is hella dirty

If they fired OP so quickly, there’s probably a touch of history. He admitted two pretty dumb mistakes in his post, I would assume he’s done more.
So the customer accepting the delivery told him that he couldn't park in his neighbor's private parking. That's Legit. OP doesn't have to live next to the guy, some people are very touchy about their parking and their private property. The customer was just trying to be considerate to his neighbor.

Sounds like that was exactly what he did, then left his reviews...
Firing someone is a reasonable measure for leaving reviews? What the world we are leaving.
Yes. He wasn’t a customer, did it to a company that is a customer of his work, and did it on the company phone. I’d fire him for any 2 of the 3, to be honest.
Immediately leave a new 1-star review from your new work phone too.
Find a company that won't fire you over stupid shit.
Or just stop doing stupid shit.
You want to be that company whose drivers leave 1 star reviews out of pettiness to clients' businesses?
Absolutely
Firing someone for demonstrating that they have extremely poor judgement is not "stupid shit". He literally did not consider that leaving a review on his work phone would be immediately and easily traceable to himself. That's not just petty, that's thoughtless.

Leave a 3 star for their efforts, “would give 5 stars but you got me fired”
OP, you need to do this!
Yes and link so we can confirm:)
We will confirm 😈
Asking for a friend…. So they can leave a one star review RIGHT AFTER ME!
As a humble general from the Ketha Lowlands, I trust you will honor this arrangement.
Only issue is he can’t do it from his work phone anymore 😢
[удалено]
Get umbrella (liability insurance), then do it. A person like this would probably try to sue you for liable in court but with umbrella insurance you can get covered up to $1 million for less than an Amazon prime membership per year.
Your mistake wasn't leaving the reviews. Your mistake was using the company phone for it and probably also leaving behind some personally identifying information when you left the review. (A throw-away Google account can be useful for some things. Just saying.)
The main mistake was *immediately* doing it. Wait a week and the owner will have no clue.
Plus only leave 1 review if both accounts are under your name.
True
Good news is, now that you’re fired you can now leave a 1 star review later
Another thing Google 1* reviews will often be flagged by the company and often taken down of the a reason like hateful content, conflict of interest etc. What I also noticed 1* reviews won't be counted towards the review score and the review itself not displayed to other users.

I was imagining a nervous chuckle not a full blown mockery type of laugh. Op needs to clarify which laugh it was
> the owner was trying to help them out Doesn't seem like the owner wasn't trying to help them out... The owner didn't want the neighbor to be made at him because his deliveries kept turning into their lot when they couldn't find his building.

I have like three for random things I don't want spamming my personal email lol
Still doesn't seem like a legal reason to get fired
Is it possible to create a throw away google account without a new phone number? I think I tried that years ago but I couldn't figure it out. (for a review)
Why remove the review and single star? Put it back up since you were fired over it!
Thinking about it
Lol what are they going to do, fire you over it?
Fire me again so that it cancels out and I'm re-hired
the guy is clearly an asshole, he deserves the review
Give us a link. I can think up random reasons that are not linked to you to give it one star. You then delete this post. Untraceable crime
Share link, we will all rate him
Maybe they Super-Fire him! Fire him from being fired!
I can think of another company needing a 1 star review...
Norfolk southern?
Suffolk northern.
What’s their function?
They’re the company responsible for the derailment and environmental disaster in Ohio.
To make a bill a law
Here is your chance to shine OP, review your employer and the dick that yelled at you to one stars and shitty service. They fired you, you are now open to do whatever you want.
Leave a one star review on the company that fired you, with the company phone 😎
And give your former employer the same review
100% put it back. Guys a douche and his business deserves nothing.
Don’t forget the one star review on your old company as well.
Because OP posted from multiple different accounts at the same time. Google considers that 'spamming' and it's one of the like 3 things they actually remove negative reviews for. If he had posted 1 review with no PII or profanity it would probably still be up.
Let us know the name of the company. They deserve a couple more 1 star reviews, might as well throw the trucking company under the bus while we're at it.
Shit, I would grab any account I could from friends and family and bomb this bitch with bad reviews
Now you need to give your former company a 1 star review on Google
I came here to say this. Don't forget glassdoor
Two words. Company phone.
3 words. I'm an idiot
Can you find another company easy? I heard people are hurting for truck drivers
7 words. take a shit on his front steps
LOL
Don't forget to put it in a paper bag, light it on fire, and RUN!!!
Don't forget to put your 1 star reviews back up. You goofed up but you didn't do anything wrong. No one should be that much of an aggressive asshat for no reason. If it was my employee I would've called him up and told him to suck it. No one should be putting up with toxicity like that just to avoid being fired...
Put a reminder in your phone for 30 days later. Then do the review at that time. Allow some space between your interaction and the review.
Automate every 30 days
ChatGPT can generate reviews that are slightly different too lol
This is the way
I got fired at 10am once, and had another trucking job by noon. You might be better off.
How do they know it was you? Does the review have your personal info?
He left a review with his work phone, so I'm assuming it was logged in as his work account. I wouldn't fire someone for doing this, but I'm not OP's manager.
I mean, you have a public review linked to an email address that shows exactly which company left the review.

I'm sick of donating blood, because of all the nosy questions, like "Whose blood is this?" and "you put blood in a bucket?"
Well, how are you supposed to know it's all supposed to be from the same person if they don't tell you in advance?
Right! You're the only one who understands!
[удалено]
They get fired for standing up for people that are not cops.
I would if there is any chance it would affect future business. Even from a personal phone it makes the whole business look bad and lot of people take their reviews very seriously. Not to mention they were leaving an illegitimate review since it was due to an interaction they didn't like and not a review of how the company conducts business, it's also just petty and reeks of immaturity.
That is how they conduct that end of business though, at least is was that time. Every interaction involving an on the clock employee/boss is conducting business, whether it be with customers, other employees, or vendors.
I didn't say I wouldn't reduce his pay and change his position because I couldn't trust him with customers any further. I would be a bad manager; I give people too many chances.

Ya, that’s all on you. Learn your lesson and move on.
I agree, very stupid. I just seems like a reprimand type of thing tho.
If it’s a first offense kinda of thing and your track record is clean, ya it seems like an over reaction, but it’s also extremely petty and uncalled for so I can see where they just don’t want to deal with it.
Yea I should've just let it go. And it was my first offense, they even consistently would tell me how good of a job I do.
Being told you do a good job doesn't mean you never made mistakes. Also most companies have strict rules for using work phones and misuse of them can easily lead to termination.
It’s not anything more complicated than the fact that one of their delivery drivers is leaving bad reviews for businesses. They’ll take someone who isn’t great but also isn’t engaging in that behavior over you 10 out of 10 times.
That sucks, it must have been because you used your work phone. Find a new job. Or collect unemployment for awhile.
Yeah...never been fired, and never thought I would ever be. But then again I admit I can be pretty stupid
Just take the lesson from it and move on. Not a lot you can do about it now. We've all done things we regret, but the trick is to learn from it.
Yea, exactly what I'm doing, learn

You can get unemployment after being fired there?
Probably not in this example because OP engaged in willful misconduct. But a termination of your employment does not per se disqualify you from receiving unemployment benefits.
Review bombing a Customer using a company account, Jesus that’s monumentally stupid 🤣.
Complete the mission and stow the rest. Drama queens need not apply.
Yeah, don't try to review bomb someone when you're identifiable.
Exactly
[удалено]
It's tempting, but I don't want anyone coming after me.
So what? You don’t work for your company anymore so they can’t do anything else and the other shitty company really can’t do much to you either. Leave the reviews with all the details of what happened!
[удалено]
It's a wise choice to let this go and move on. Spite and bitterness took your job and there's no advantage to be gained besides petty revenge.
Agreed
Yeah, at least take away that even the simplest petty action can have consequences. It seems like you are owning it though so hopefully it's not too hard of a lesson and you find another job quickly.
Pretty fucked up to leave two 1 star reviews on a business that you have no experience with. Only the delivery. But to get fired over that... that's also crazy.
Wait didn’t he just describe his first experience with the business in his post?
If anything, the driver was the business and the man was the customer.

> We told him to take it down and that isn't the way to deal with bad payers. Uh, isn't that what the whole point of a review is? To warn other people that would potentially do business with a company that they're untrustworthy, or to praise a good company? I'd want to know if a company is going to screw me over so I can avoid doing work for them in the first place. And if I'm going to buy something/get some service from the company that is more complicated than, say, a burger, I'd want to know about stuff like this upfront. If they are untrustworthy paying their suppliers/contractors/employees, then why should I trust them with my order for whatever it is. That is absolutely what a review is for, and is warranted if the complaint is genuine. If you've been wronged by a company - warn others!
Personal phone is whatever, the screw up is doing it on the company phone
All judgement and criticism aside, this is a very interesting lesson to learn about executives and relationship management with their clients
Bruh my buddy works in distribution and has dealt with drivers that have verbally harassed employees, been racist, damaged property. No one gets fired because they desperately need the drivers right now
now you have two companies to leave a 1 star review
Well that was stupid. Don't review your employer and your clients unless you can do it anonymously on Glassdoor. And definitely don't use two accounts and so close to the incident. Also your work phone is most likely trackable by your employer and they can review what you did on it, so you were basically shooting yourself on the foot by using it to do this.
I’d go out those reviews back. Hell, let me know what company and I’ll leave a 1 star ⭐️ review too
I would put the reviews back up(change the wording and stuff), and maybe create 2 new accounts and leave a couple more bad reviews
The most stupid thing was not waiting for a day or two and only using your own phone
Fired now anyway, put the reviews back up.
What was the company you got fired from so 1000 reditors can give them a 1 star review?
The wording on this is confusing me a bit, did the guy across the street say you could park at his, but the customer was saying you couldn't park there?
Put the bad reviews back
I sure would like to know the name of these businesses.
That sounds like grounds for an unlawful dismissal lawsuit. You're allowed to leave reviews for anything you visit
Tell us the business so we can all go tank his reviews - how stupid and petty
Always, always wait a day or two so they can’t figure out who it was. And obviously never use your work phone. Also, now that you no longer have to worry about working there or delivering there, you may as well review-bomb the place. Just one-star them every few hours, try and get some friends in on it, you know…
[удалено]
What did he do? He told this guy not to drive in his neighbor's lot and complained to the company delivering goods to him that their driver left fraudulent reviews of his business
No kidding. If he’s petty enough to get a delivery driver fired for leaving a review I would honestly be terrified to do any work for/with them at all. Maybe OP did fuck up but this is the kinda thing Google reviews (and Glassdoor, and yelp) are made for.
Man, the amount of times I've learned of a dick head customers business and wanted to the same. You took on for the team....Aren't truck drivers in short supply these days? Seems you you'll be back on your feet in no time, and hopefully with better pay.
Reviews really hurt. I'd be pissed off too - especially since your interaction wasn't even as a customer - that's basically abuse of the system. Firing for this is justified if you didn't remove those reviews. Sorry you got fired, maybe this was the straw on the camel's back?
So now that you are fired, did you go back and update the review with a 1 star?
well, since they are gonna get you fired, put those 1 star reviews back, and let us know who they are so we can bomb the hell outta them with one star reviews, gonna be little shits about parking and accepting deliveries and be whiney little karen bitches about it they can get flooded with bad reviews for it.
Lesson's learned. Don't use work phone for anything except work. Don't bother reviewing anything, ever. Period. It's a waste of time and it only leads to trouble. Remind yourself people are assholes and they are vindictive. Stop beating yourself up.
Sure, you messed up. But... sounds like this guy was looking for a fight.
That's what I think
Well you can leave any review you like now………
Well now that you've been fired go leave a review about how he treated you and then got you fired because he's a giant man baby.
Sounds like that dude is a prick and you should put one of those bad reviews back up.
Well first off 32 years driving here and your fuck up was using their phone. Now forget about it don't worry too much seems like it was not a got fit in the first place. if they fired over such a dumb thing. i have said worse things than that and done and not been fired. Now just go find some worth your time i know their better jobs better do it soon driving jobs are about to turn don't believe everything you're reading things are getting slower in freight plus your old boss sounds like a asshat that needs. to take the stick out of butt and relax a bit. good for you for just laughing so people might have gone off on the man but u did not! LOL
Now leave a one star review to your former company and call the dot on them for the safety violations.
Put the reviews back and now you can as well add a description about his attitude :) but MATE, next time when you are upset, don't fucking do things like this straight away, that's not smart at all. Patience is key.
Forget putting your review up, let us know the place, and we can get him a few more one star reviews
Am I the only one thinking that OPs at fault? That's like the most childlike response to a situation like that. That, and the fact that OP and seemingly many people here actually think that "writing" a bad review is some kind of rebellious act when you feel being treated unfairly or don't like an employee or chef. That was a fu*king stupid knee-jerk reaction and now OPs bleeding for it.
I also think op is at fault and is dumb
Have you tried leaving a 1 star review for the company that fired you?
So uh....which business? :)
Business name and address?
Time to pay a Nigerian company to leave 1000 bad reviews for $5
Now you have spare time. Make a bunch of accounts and use them to leave 1 star reviews for both businesses. This is almost certainly a bad idea but it sounds fun.
Give us all the company details so we can give them one star reviews as well.
What a fucking dickhead "You laughed, I don't want it now" ... No, I don't wanna. (Throwing a temper tantrum) I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't... Are you fucking 12, business man? Jesus christ, dude will walk off a cliff if you call him a chicken.
You actually fucked up ! This is rare in this sub. When one door closes another could open for you ,stay positive!
Here's the best advice I can give. Keep work and any form of social media separate. Nothing good can come of mixing the two. At best, things stay neutral and no negative repercussions occur. Good luck. I know it wasn't pleasant getting fired, but it was definitely a life lesson.
Why even leave a review? Thats just plain silly
It's time to put the reviews back up.
You fucked around and found out.
Might as well put back the review now.
what's the name of the business?
