New employee gets fired after only a week at the job, gets told by boss that their accountant claims they can't afford to pay him: ‘I thought it was my saving grace’

Nothing is guaranteed in life, especially not our jobs, and the employee in the story below just learned that the hard way.

Being stuck on the job search loop is not fun, but it only takes one job to get you out of that cycle. Except, in some cases, even that is not enough. After months of searching, applying, and interviewing, the 24-year-old guy in the story below finally landed a job at a restaurant. In his first week, he worked two shifts and made a good impression. 

That is why he was so surprised to get a text from the owner telling him that he was fired. Not because he was a bad employee, but simply because they realized the restaurant could not afford to pay him. 

… Couldn't they have figured it out a week ago, before they hired him?
