I've recently taken over as GM of a local pub. There were some younger people working over the summer holidays under the previous guy in charge, and they all left once school started up again in September. All of them were given their P45 (UK document given to people when they leave employment for tax reasons), so they officially have left the ( Read more... )

LOL, welcome to the real world, where people get hired if they are willing to work the hours when they are actually needed.

If someone doesn't want to work weekends because the social life is more important than the money, then they likely aren't going to be any good. That individual obviously has some growing up to do if mommy is fighting battles. What kind of mom does that? She should be saying, "You'd have an easier time getting a job if you'd work the goddamn weekends when they need you".

When Mum calls back ask for her address so your lawyer can write her an explanation why her special snowflake isn't getting any hours.

I can't keep Mommy's story straight -- if the family was planning a holiday trip, then how was Daughter going to work any job over Christmas?

Anyone wanna bet the next chapter will be "Daughter must still be an employee there, because she never got her P45"?

The family specifically didn't plan a holiday trip so that Daughter could work, is how I interpreted it.

That's just ...

I do a fair amount of seasonal/contractual work and I usually get in touch at least a month, if not two before anything is expected to take place because these things have to be planned and scheduled. Even then, I might not get a lot of work because they tend to prioritize their regular staff over independent contractors. Still, I wouldn't call up complaining because it's so not worth burning the bridge. If she'd just come in and chatted, she might have gotten something.

Also, if I was told someone might have hours for me, I wouldn't turn down jobs that guaranteed hours. Kid dug her own hole there (if those jobs were real).

Tell her mom to eat a dick. Seriously.

I'm surprised you listened to all of that. You are far more polite than I am!
