The Hardest Part

Mar 06, 2007 14:13

I'm sitting on the Comfy Couch in our living room, at the outside end of the short part of the "L" the couch forms. At the far end of the long part of the "L" sits Jason Giambi, his cap pulled down, his arms crossed, staring at the television. We're watching a movie I've never heard of, with actors I don't know. In between Jason and me, on the ( Read more... )

I wish this wasn't real, because I can't believe how awful it sounds. Good luck!

Take the battle to them. Make them pay.

Holy crap. That's ridiculous. They have to at least inform you that you've been terminated if that's the case.

Definitely look into legal options... and honestly, I'd start looking for a new job regardless of what (if anything) they tell you. I certainly wouldn't want to keep working somewhere that treated me that way.

I'll second that! I don't think I could trust a manager after that.

Call them. If you're fired, make them say that. If you're not, you still deserve an explaination! I'm glad you called your father, though. I hope he has good advice!

I totally agree too. That's just plain rude and completely unprofessional. I know you need to pay your bills, but I would never go back there if I were you because of the disrespect they've shown you.

*GROWL* I hope those jerks have a F***ing good explanation for this! This is just unfair if you're fired!

I highly doubt they do. In my experience, most bars are notoriously devoid of any kind of HR. Even the best bars tend to handle hirings and firings awkwardly. I wouldn't be surprised if they never called her. Of course, that's not the right thing to do and she shouldn't be in this situation to begin with but reality rarely finds the right path.

Deb, I say you go down there and make them come clean. If nothing else, it will bring some closure so you can move on to the next step, whatever that may be. Good luck. I know you'll figure everything out.

That's horrible. I'm so sorry that happened to you.
