I just got fired.

You are a 25yo gym janitor living with your parents. Why are you worried about your LTR and unemployment first? Get another fucking job. Those other "issues" then go away.

I have an LTR and obviously this does not reflect well on me. It’s a big hit to my status, etc etc. How do I go about telling her?

You own it and let her know that you have a plan for this type of event. But first, have you prepared for this type of contingency (i.e. savings)? Do you have a network of people to reach out that you can pull job leads from? Have you already contacted other companies?

Is there any way my now former employer could dispute me signing up for unemployment?

Companies do not typically dispute it, unless you have seriously fucked up.

Idk what country you live in, but in Australia you could take it to fairwork and it would probably qualify as unfair dismissal.

Why not speak with the owner one-on-one? It's obvious that it was a compulsive decision, nothing is stopping you from having a discussion like a man. If the people who were left in charge weren't doing their duties, (as evidenced by the state of the gym upon your return), why not make the case and ask him why he fired you?

Sometimes it's events like these that make lasting and permanent friendships. Sometimes, it's not.

Even though you are sick, the issues at the gym are on you. It’s up to you to have backup and to ensure their is a team there that can handle the gym in your absence. Chalk it up as a lesson and don’t let it happen again.

Concerning mono: I’m guessing they gave you prednisone and a bunch of other shit. Take time once things stabilize and rebuild your immune system, and in general just take it easy. Go hard on proper nutrition and supplemention because your body will use everything you give it to return to homeostasis. Get your active D3 levels to around 60ng/dl at least. If you have access, use raw cow’s milk and yogurt as these are undoubtedly the best food for healing the gut and building back the immune system - (corticosteroids harm both).

Pfft just get another job. People get fired all the time. It is unfortunate but if you're indeed good at your job then you should have no problem finding another.

As the manager it's literally your job to tell other people to clean the fuck up. Why didn't you?

The day you got back, call all your subordinates, tell them, mandatory employee meeting, non-attendance is grounds for firing. Then tell them their lax behavior was totally unacceptable and everybody is getting down on their hands and knees with a toothbrush and scrubbing everything for two hours.

Being sick for three weeks doesn't mean you can really avoid popping in for an hour or two a few times a week and telling people to do their jobs, instead of just assuming that it will get done. You also need to delegate authority in that case to someone you can trust knows what the fuck needs to go down.

This comes with the territory of being a manager, unless you're literally in a coma or paralyzed. You weren't, you could still walk and still use the phone.

It's also your job to be the fall guy when things go wrong, by default.

You can't just sit here on your high horse and blame your underlings for goofing off, when you weren't there and didn't tell them otherwise.

Chalk it down to a learning experience. Yes, management work sucks and is really difficult some times.

Like others said, just be upfront and own the fact of what happened with El Teearr. It's less about what happened and more about how resilient your frame is against it. Keep in mind that women have left millionaires for broke dudes who give them tingles and that all attraction has an expiration date, so don't invest too heavy into an effort to preserve it forever. Stay the course

This is an opportunity, not a disaster. Move up in the world. A manager should not be cleaning. If the cleaning guy is not cleaning, you are not managing. That's why you got fired.

I just got fired.
