While I was life guarding for a certain nonprofit health and fitness organization I was approached by someone in maintenance who told me that they would be working on the pumps and if the chlorine levels rose that I should just leave the pool open and come find them. I was the only guard on duty that day so I couldn't leave and federal law mandates that if the chlorine level reaches a certain point I am obligated to close the pool 'till they are brought under control. That's exactly what I did. About an hour later my boss shows up (she had the day off) and tells me that I should have listened to the maintenance person and kept the pool open. After I explained my position (that if anything happened to some in the pool I would be the one to lose my job and I would be the one facing a lawsuit, not the person from maintenance) after which my boss agreed with me. However the maintenance person pushed for my termination, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was one good terms with the other guards, and the my boss loved me (I always picked up any shift that was needed, sometimes working the entire 5am-9pm day, and was always calm and collected when angry parents were screaming at me) I would have been fired. So yeah jobs like that can suck. alot.MovieBob said:Moviebob's Re-Tales

I believe Bob has already said once in one of his shows where he used to work. I think 2 of them were Circuit City and Blockbuster. Apparently, firing Bob brings bad luck to you.antidonkey said:Story one sounds like it may have come from a Circuit City. I've heard many tales from folks that worked at one. Many of those people didn't work there for long for reasons like in said story.
