Hello! I don't know if I am actually fired or not! FAQ

Q: Why the heck would you be fired? I thought you were doing really well and makin' lots o' dough for the Sierra Club?!
A: Yeah, I was doing just that, when we switched from going door-to-door for the Sierra Club to standing in the street for MASSPIRG's brand new public transit campaign! They've never worked on public transit before, so it was a complete test run. I didn't make quota (raising an average of $120/night) in the first week of this campaign. Unfortunately, the Fund for Public Interest Research has a policy (oh, they have so many of those) that if a canvasser doesn't make quota for an overall total of three weeks in one season, this canvasser will be dismissed. Fired. Terminated. Whatever. And there have been two weeks prior to this past week, both within the past three months, in which I have also not made quota.

Q: So, you are fired . . . right?
A: Well, the director of the Newton office where I've been working said the Fund would be really stupid to fire me, seeing as how I was raising 200+ a night, on average, for the Sierra Club. This director said he'd talk to his boss at the Boston office and see if I could go door canvass with the Boston door office instead of getting the boot. So, while I may be fired, I also may not be fired.

Q: Wait, what did your boss's boss say?
A: He hasn't been able to get in touch with her.

Q: Riight. So, when will you know what the fuck is going on?
A: Beats me. I was supposed to know on Saturday, but this morning, my (former?) director still couldn't tell me.

Q: Oh. Well. That sucks.
A: Yeah, but I should find another job anyway. But yeah, it does suck.
