Your boss helped you out, but when she needed YOUR help (to just treat her decently!), you immediately fucked her over. You're a terrible person. You cared more about your piss ass job than an actual human being who was attempting to recover from an illness that has killed millions.

Look in the mirror and question your humanity. Is this the person you want to be? If I looked in the mirror and saw you, I'd be ashamed.

I don't understand how you've been there 10 years, get propped up and promoted and are still fairly useless. Maybe they fired her because of you? If you're incapable of doing something that is your job without explicit guidance, then your termination is most likely appropriate. No one has time for hand-holding in the real world, and the ones who take the time to do so should be regarded as saints. You, however, decided to spit in her face and shit on her name when the opportunity presented itself.

Hahahaha

Had someone like you on an improvement plan. Man was "senior X position" (don't want to reveal too much) but was incapable of managing his workload, achieve goals, or plan a path for a project. However his "senior" job description included all those expectations and that's why his position was many many thousands more than a regular position. He could only do stuff if you told him A, B, C. Which even someone not in his specialty could do, let alone juniors.

Yes, the improvement plan led to him being let go. With plenty of cause.

Improve yourself, sounds like you've been skating by.

But you didn't post a TIFU right away along the lines "omg, TIFU by asking for more help for our team and getting my boss fired instead". Oh no, you are here crying because you are getting your just rewards - getting fired. You didn't really care that she was fired until it became worse for you.

You were there 10 years and somehow were not very knowledgeable about expectations or your higher ups.

Well. I mean. Then the thing to do would have been to leave BEFORE you actually ate the food. If you’re pissed about having to wait two hours, then leave after an hour and a half. At that point you didn’t eat any food, you have nothing to pay for. Once you eat the food, you’ve accepted the GOODS, so you pay for it. “Refusing payment for poor service” would mean something like cutting out the servers tip, which actually IS pretty common. You’re talking about refusing payment for GOODS you accepted, which is just literally stealing.
