Got Fired

[imtheoneandonlyD]

Alright so i had my job for a little over 3 1/2 years. Pizza delivery. Now when i was hired (interviewed by the co owner of the store) i explained that from sept-april i bowl in a league so i would need Thursday nights off during that time, and during the summer i played amature baseball so i would need a few more days off in the summer than normal. He was cool with this and said it wouldnt be a problem. Fast forward to this summer. Overall the baseball schedule is only really intense for 2 week. We played around 12 games in those two weeks so naturally i needed alot of days off. I gave my boss a calender stating the days and times of every game also saying i would work anyday i didnt need off. Obviously the calender was to much for him. The days i didnt have baseball i was not working and the ONE day i was suppose to work i had baseball. When i confronted him about it he said, well i didnt look at your schedule.....ok wtf??? Why did i give it to you then? Then he just takes me off the schedule and says nothing. A week later i get my paycheck in the mail.

I wasnt told anything at all about why i was fired. Im kinda pissed off right now. In the time i've worked there in only ONE instance did i not show up when scheduled. Which was because they had no phones so obviously i couldnt get through. Other than that either i showed up or had someone take my shift. I mean the least they could do is tell me why they fired me.

that sux man. any possibility in talking to the owner or someone? is it a ma and pa shop or a chain?

[quteasabutton]

that's really shitty i'm sorry to hear about that any way you can talk to him and tell him to take you back or grow some balls and tell you why?

I guess the Industrial Relations laws must be just as fucked up in the US as in Australia.

The guy probably doesn't want to deal with it, for whatever reason, a friend of mine ran into that kind of thing when he was a server at Fridays or Friendlies I don't remember. He told them his available days, wrote them down and gave it to them twice, first time they ignored it and scheduled him when he couldn't work, got it taken care of no problem. Then after that they kept doing it and fired him, later when he went for a goverment job, all your history is investigated, they had negative remarks in his file along with a BS problem he had at another job was enough to cost him the job. If they had not lied and put that garbage in his file the other BS situation wouldn't have looked as bad and MAYBE he would have gotten the job.

I doubt your gonna have a problem with getting another job, but you should talk to them to find out why he fired you when he told you he would work with you especially after 3 1/2 years. Add to the fact that your scheduled when your not available and off when you are available. Unless it was like when he needed you most you were not available, friday-weekend and every week, then he shouldn't have fired you for that. But if he can get someone to work whenever he wants and he has you he's going to go for the person available whenever he wants.

I think if someone fired me like that, they'd have to beg to get me back. And I'd still say no.

You used to deliver pizza in that black truck or what?

[blindside.AMG]

What a nutless bastard. Sounds like you were a good employee so it's really his loss. Fuck em.

If they had no phones at a pizza delivery place, how did they take orders?

Lucky shit like that can't happen here.. im sorry for you man

Hey if you want your job back, go talk to the manager about it.

If not, it's time to move on.

It sucks to get fired, especially when it was the manager's fault - after he had told you it was ok.

Manger = asshat.
