Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay to you.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Here we go tired, get fired? Well, try to get
the listener severance. For six weeks, all they got to
do is get themselves fired. And I got Dianna on
the phone with me right now, and she is just
absolutely fed up. Dianna, are you there? I'm here, Diana,
So welcome to tired get fired. Tell us a little
bit about your situation, why you want to be fired,
(00:22):
what's going on? What do you do for a living?
Go ahead, run it through for us.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I am a legal assistant. I've been working at this
law firm for seven years. Haven't moved up, haven't moved around.
I actually have a paralegal certification. My boss refuses to
let me work as a paralegal, refuses to let me
get a raise, and I work long hours, I stay
in the office longer than everyone and she completely abuses me.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Now, before we get you on the air with her,
you know the deal. Once she says hello, you are
going to have exactly two minutes. You only have two
minutes to get yourself fired. And it seems like her
name is what's Samantha? What's it say here?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Marie?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Believe it Marcie, Marcy. Yeah, Marcy. So it's a female boss.
And what exactly is her title before we get her
on the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
She's a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, attorneys are tough. Huh yeah, No, for sure, it's
a tough biz.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Anybodys he suits the shows.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Of course, all right, Danna, Before we get Marcia on
the phone, I just have to ask you this question.
Could it be you? Maybe it is you, Maybe you
deserve to be fired. Tell us why you don't deserve
to be fired? Is it you?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
No, Well, I know it might be be now. But
I gave as much as I could to this company,
to her for the last four years, and once I
realized that she was not going to give me anything
that I needed to help make my life better as well,
I just completely started letting go a little bit just
so she could value me and actually see what the
(01:45):
difference was between me doing my hardest work and not
doing it. And it still hasn't changed anything.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So so you kind of feel like she takes advantage
of you.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
She does, She completely does. She knows I want a
better position, she knows I want to be a paralegal
instead of just the legal assistant, and she refuses to
give me that, and it just gives me more work.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, are you ready, Deanna to be fired? Do you
have something else on the line there? Are you looking
for another job or you just you just want that
severance and you just want you know, are you ready
financially to be fired?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I am not ready financially to be fired since she
completely underpays me. So I need that severance and I'm
ready to do what I have to do. And I've
got to tell you something. Marcy is completely miserable. She's horrible,
she's rude, she's disrespectful, she's a complete dragon.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Lady Luella Deville sounds like, sounds like Deanna's ready? Here again, Dianna,
you're gonna have two minutes from the moment, Marcy says.
Your boss says hello. You better just don't hold back
because two minutes goes really quickly. It's all for six
week severance, Deanna. Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah? Hello, Hi, Marshy, this is Deanna. You know the
trial that we have going on right now?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
What is this spelled?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, you gave me.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
A bunch of pleadings to go over documents you wanted
me to draft, and I've decided I'm not going to
do them. I've had enough. That is not a job
for illegal. That said, that is a job for a
pair legal, which I am certified to do, but you
refuse to give me a raise and give me the title,
so I will not be doing the work. Yes, I
know the trial is ongoing, but you're gonna have to
find someone else to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
What are you telling me here?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I'm telling you that I'm not doing the job of
a pair legal at the legal assistant salary. You're absolutely
abusing the fact that I want to move up with you. You
will not give me the rays that I ask for.
I do not respect you, I do not like you,
and I absolutely refuse to continue doing extra work that
I'm not getting paid for.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I don't like your tone, and I don't know where
this is coming from because I've had nothing but problem.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
With you for my problem. Do you want me to
lift them?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yes, please list them, because I let be.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Let's talk about the last brief that I had you
at it. I don't know if your generation learned grammar.
What I'm seeing coming across my desk takes me hours
at night to correct because you can't get a subject
and verb to agree if you don't like it, you
(04:28):
can just walk out the door, sweetheart.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm not going anywhere you miserable, bit.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Really, you sound like a little lion who just tried
to roar. But let me tell you something. That roar
doesn't resonate with me. You are fired.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh whoa, I'm left on the clock, Anthony, time left
on the clock. She had about twenty seconds left.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I'm just only just.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Twenty seconds left.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Wy, Dianna, you got yourself six week sevens. I'm tired
to get fired, Marcy. My name's Hollywood Hamilton from Katie Radio.
We do this morning thing called Tired to Get Fired.
Deanna is a listener that wanted to be part of
this show. She had two minutes to get herself fired
from you because she obviously just can't stand you, and
she did it within the two minutes. She's got herself
(05:28):
six week sevens. Sounds like these two ladies needed to
break Marcy. Do you have anything to say?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm at the moment quite taken aback, but I would
say that I think it's just best that she move on.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Okay, Okay, Okay, You're fine, Okay, all right, Marcy seems
a bit shaken up. Yeah, Are you happy, are you
happy that she's out of your life?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Or let's just say she has you know, uh, some
issues here. Let's just leave it at that.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
It's well, okay, well, Samanthah, pay the lady, please, pay the.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Happy to Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think it's best for both these ladies to have
time in separate corners.
