When I first started at McD's, everybody used to talk to me but Kyra. At first, I thought it was bc I was new until I asked her a general question and she said we weren’t friends. Who says that? I know she was giving off cues that she didn’t like me, but I never got them. That’s why she had to say it, but I felt really slighted by that. I begged her and gave her $$$ for a whole hour on my day off. She became increasingly annoyed. I was frustrated and purposely embarrassed the store by yelling, “If Kyra won’t play with me, I want my mommy!” A shift manager’s 9 y/o son asked if she was sure I worked there. The next day, the general manager said she can’t have me behave like that. If she didn’t know the two of us, she’s think I’m in love with her, to which I replied, “I’m not a dyke.” My coworker said she didn’t mean me.

"Do NOT call my friend Kyra a dyke!” I shouted. Then I demanded to be transferred, which my boss agreed to. Somehow, it didn’t end up happening. My manager also called corporate on me just for that, but they didn't end up doing anything.

A coupla days later at work, I sassed a manager. I told her when she brushed against me, it burns and when she talks, my ears hurt. The next day, I got written up and flicked out my boss for doing that. Soon, I began to verbally abuse others regularly, but I was really nice to Kyra. However, I stared at her on my days off just wanting her to talk to me. It turned out later that she had 2 people add me on facebook bc she was afraid I will do something, which I don’t plan on. Jenny said Kyra initially hated her for months until she (Jenny) accidentally made coffee wrong and burned a lot of people. Kyra thought it was funny and they became friends. I tried the same tactic and purposely made coffee wrong, burned myself, and Kyra just got disgusted. Every snub Kyra made to me (I.e. not letting me sit at her table) I reported it to the boss. In the case w/ the tables, my boss said to find a different table.

See how frustrating it gets? Especially when no one would allow me to talk about Kyra hurting me at work? I ended up screaming at my boss in front of customers for a rage outlet. I got suspended 2 weeks. I returned to work to ostracism and on-call hours. I quit a few weeks after. All bc Kyra hurt me. And if I sound crazy, well...

Yeah you sound like maybe people might have been rude to you, but you were also very mean to them. I can see why they might have wanted to fire you.

But they said I'm rehirable. So they will take me back right? Or do I have to explain that I've changed since my incident w/ Kyra?

No, you screwed yourself over. Your behavior was way out of line. You're there to serve the customers- not to obsess over your co-workers. You're lucky you only got fired, and that she didn't send some of her friends after you to put you in your place.

Your behavior was waaaayy out of line. just like they didn't transfer you, I doubtr they will rehire you. The only reason you work is to make money and do your job to the best of your ability so you will get promoted so you make more money.
