What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I was a closing manager at Benny's Car Wash in Baton Rouge, LA....
I was at work pressure washing the carwash tunnel like I am required to do every night. I was trained to blow all of the leaves out of the tunnel using the pressure washer. I was conducting my work as usual and my boss, the GM was there supervising the cleaning of the carwash pit with 5 other employees from another location. He told me to sweep up all the leaves out of the carwash tunnel, which is not how I was trained nor accustomed to, instead of blowing them out of the tunnel with the pressure washer. I asked him if one of the other employees could do it because I was busy pressure washing and only two employees are needed to clean the carwash pit (also the fact that I am a manager and they are employees he shouldve had one of them do it). He said No, I'm telling YOU to do it in a very rude, and degrading tone. Being as I am a manager, I feel it made me look bad in front of these other employees so I told him (f word here) "**** you" The other 5 employees were there, but with the noise of the pressure washer and the pit cleaning machine, combined with the reflection of sound from inside the tunnel would make it difficult to hear what i said (if you know what im getting at). [Also he had previously been rude to my girlfriend (about 45 minutes before this), who was a paying customer, and made me look bad in front of her (dont know if this matters or not).] At this point he told me I was fired. He gave me no verbal warnings and I have recieved no written or verbal warnings for "insubordination or inappropriate conduct" previous to that incident in my entire working time at Benny's. I have only recieved one written warning and that was for being late. What do you think I should tell the unemployment office? Should I tell them that I said (f word here)"**** you?", or should I not? I know there were 5 witnesses there, but they were foriegeners that knew little English....Plus with the sound of everything being so loud I could deny that I said that if he uses them as witnesses to what I said. Also, if this makes any difference, I know multiple managers/employees who have cussed him out worse than that, thrown stuff, and not gotten fired. Should I present that also? If I do tell them I told him (f word here) "**** you" will that automatically disqualify me? Thanks for any advice - Johnny
