Just admit you shouldn't have been a total timewaster on so many levels and find something else to do.

have you learned nothing from the book of gramme?
chapter 19: verse 12 - 17
"... And lo, in the fall of that same year Gramme was up for review.
Yet, he went out from that meeting with low spirits and bruised ego. He had toiled endlessly for what seemed like no recognition. His wife was with child. This was not the way he had envisioned his review to go. Surely, he deserveth more he thought.
And thus, it was written on the annals of Qoob exactly what Gramme didest think. He let anger and pride flow from his fingers and his venom did not fall unnoticed. His Boss was a vengeful Boss. She did not like to be tempted as such., and She quickly made an example.
And, so Gramme was tossed out of Her kingdom, never to return."
this is the word of the bored.

ok. dude isn't even fired (unless I'm mistaken).
I doubt dude even got 'yelled at'
dude receiving a warning is believable.this sort thing brings the term 'drama queen' to mind.

I laughed out loud @ 7.34, that was pure QBN gold man. To the anthology with you. Indeed, heed the word of the bored.
ESPtype: Yes, you did get lucky. It doesn't seem as if you've learned the lesson here yet, though. Frankly I'm shocked that you haven't been fired yet.
I didn't even say anything bad about my previous employer per se; I just mentioned that my lack of raise this year created a financial problem for my family, and I wanted to gather opinions on whether I should stay put at the aforementioned prestigious firm, all while quietly freelancing, or prepare for a move into a more senior position or start my own studio.
That being said, the former company has a no-freelance policy; she found out here rather than privately from me that I was unhappy with the financial situation; and that after carving off a pound plus of flesh that year, I felt my work was worth $10K more than she could afford.
Her pride was duly injured; though she claimed all was forgiven, she nevertheless decided she couldn't have people on her staff who weren't committed to the firm. So, she preemptively cut me loose—albeit with a couple months salary to ease the blow, but it was still basically a firing despite her saying things like "two months notice with wings." Needless to say, I felt like a used maxi pad—with wings—as I walked out of her office for the last time.
ESP—I recommend you take a break from QBN, Facebook, and whatever avenues in which you might find yourself to wax frustrated. Find a half-way house, lay low for a while. You never know who may be watching... and you certainly can't expect people to genuinely care about your life, despite their gift of a $300 German high chair upon the birth of your son. Just sayin'.
- hahaha cheers. glad it made you laugh :)7point34
- ps. how's the hunt going?7point34
- Job hunt or client hunt? I'm self-employed now, Jim.Scotch_Roman
- The client hunt is going well. Many meetings and leads, some are biting but I need more to stay afloat.Scotch_Roman
- i.e., not looking for a full time job anymore. (1) No one's hiring and we can't afford to move now.Scotch_Roman
- (2) This is what I've always wanted to do anyway.Scotch_Roman
- oh well, congrats on the bites and leads. glad to hear.7point34
- i'm sure you'll get enough work soon. there's not a lot out there right now.7point34
- Thanks. I'm grateful for this one client I have who's giving me repeat business. He's basically paid my mortgage since March.Scotch_Roman
- awesome to hear, man. keep that shit up!Gucci
- A " no freelance " policy what do we live in a fucking dictatorship a company can't have policy's like that their not even legal.Iggyboo

You have to be more careful about this things, not to come down on you, but this is common sense, I'm glad you didn't get fired but what do you expect?
They gave a warning so be thankful for that and just learn from the experience.

when I was "let go/laid off" I was told by one of the owners "I'm still one of your facebook friends so don't talk shit about us" in a half joking/I'm totally serious way.
- tell him to fuck off and delete him then...babaganush
- Yea if their not paying you nor are they aiding you that's bullshit people have ownership issues.Iggyboo

Personally I'm disgusted with everyone in this story - you for having a Facebook account, your boss for caring what you write on your Facebook account and your slimy, backstabbing coworker for snitching on you.
