I got fired, and decided it would make a good first post after reading everyone elses for months![]()
it was a really weird situation. ok so i'm from new zealand and am on an OE trip but currently stuck in ireland till summer. (it's the only place in europe i have a work visa for and no money left to resume travelling)
so i'm working in a small club, the only one in town.. not as bad as you may think, making between €0-500 per night. things seem perfect.. its 100% clean, guys get told off if they so much as accidentally knock into you, everyone is really nice.
i start work on a sunday, work everyday that week except thursday. the next sunday i say id like next monday and tuesday off (giving a weeks notice) im told thats fine.
when next sunday comes around, the manager/bar lady/owners girlfriend comes up to me, says "you want the next two days off?" i said yeah i thought that was ok. she goes "no you cant, we only have two girls". im just like what? so she tells me i have to talk to the owner....
i tell him what the problem is, he basically tells me im messing him around. (even though i said i gave a weeks notice and was told it was ok). he calls his girlfriend over, she blatantly lies and says i only asked for time off on wednesday.. (although what difference would that have made, the point is she SAID it was fine)
and they both agree that either i come to work on monday and tuesday or dont come back at all.
i didnt go back because i refuse to be treated like their slave.
what would you have done??
