May have lost job today for showing up to work intoxicated (advice srs)

[notbadnotbrad]

So I work at a bank as one of those *******s who opens up bank accounts,sets up mortgages and tries to sell you term investments and mutual funds. 35k a year and 40k with some experience.

Anyway's Friday night was quite the night.... got absolutely destroyed Halloween and didn't sleep. I showed up to work the next day and apparently I wreaked of booze, had blood shot eyes and all of that even though I used visene and had some gum.

The branch manager is saying that I can resign tomorrow with nothing on my record or he files the report to human resources and I will be terminated for being intoxicated at work; however, I think he may be bluffing because he told me he interviewed 4 other employees today even though they weren't even at the branch today. Wondering if I should roll the dice and not resign and let it go to HR in hopes he is lying or if I should just hand in my letter tomorrow.

Fight for your right.......... to partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hand in the letter. You dun goofed. Going to be nearly impossible to get another good job with that on your resume. Don't take the chance you're only 25

Girls..... All I really wNt is gurlzzz

[Dpezy]

not so good brad.

[thsker]

What record lol? All your former employer can tell people is if and when you worked there and what your title was, they can't say why you were terminated.

[pollsmkr]

resign. be a personal banker somewhere else. srs.

[TypeNirvash]

Hand in the letter. You dun goofed. Going to be nearly impossible to get another good job with that on your resume. Don't take the chance you're only 25

This. If he doesn't fire you for that, he'll be gunning for you later. No sense in sticking around after that.

Couldn't I just take the chance and if it goes bad just not put this job on my resume.

Strong this. It is possible that he just doesn't like you.

Wouldn't risk my whole career over this OP. If that chit gets filed to HR you're screwed for every other position in the country; might as well move to Bosnia or someplace after that. Hope you have a back-up career in mind.

That's what I'm thinking. It's like he's trying to trick me into resigning. The week prior we had a meeting and apparently he's upset with me because I'm beign very "aloof" and cold with him and I basically told him he's looking too far into it, so I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it. Also the fact that only 1/4 people he apparently interviewed today at the branch were in today leads me to believe he's bluffing.

You could but how long have you worked there? What other job experience / degree do you have? What will you tell employers about a potential large gap in employment

Its your life but my advice is to be safe and resign for the sake of your future

[headinahole]

Yep, it's BIG TIME illegal to say why you were released.

You can only ask, if they were terminated or quit... and would you rehire them.

[redwine91]

Turn in your resignation. Srs

Stay there and start applying at other places.

I have a finance degree... I've worked there for 3 months and am on probation ....probably fuked tbh lol

[Angra_Mainyu]

suck his dik and record it so you can blackmail him

[johnnytoogood]

They want you to resign so they don't have to go through the arduous process of firing you and the risks that entails. Don't admit to anything, keep showing up to work. If they give you a hard time say you were ill, but wanted to show your commitment and showed up anyway.

Edit: If you on probation then you are probably ****ed and dude is doing you a favour

Stop showing up to work intoxicated or you need help.

Do not listen to potatoes

[hermanmunster2]

Fuk that. Make them fire you. You lose nothing more than you would have if you resigned and yiu might be able to get dat dere unemployment (they cant prove you were drunk unless you were a ******* potato and admitted it). Get an unemployment lawyer bc they will appeal it.

[bigshooter28]

Do not resign. Absolutely do not resign. You will not be eligible for unemployment, and who gives a chit about what they claim will be a bad mark. 90% of corporate America will not give a reference anyway, so your story is as you tell it to future employers.

6+ years of corporate bank management under belt.

This. No question whatsoever. He wins, you lose. Walk away before you are destroyed.

[Bigred0289]

Strong manager, what a *******, its the day after halloween, what does he expect?

He asked me if I was intoxicated and I said absolutely not. He then said he had 4 people that claim I smelled like booze and I said, that's bizarre because I did not have a single drink.
