RRRRRR! My job basically just fired me!

They'll realize how valuable you are once you're gone. Good luck, I hope things work out for you.

Exactly what Markie said...they will realize all this once you are gone and they have to work the crappy shifts. I also agree with Judy.....this IS a blessing in disguise. It will give you time to get your resume perfect and find something else. I am glad you applied for unemployement and you are not obligated to let the boss know at all. Quite honestly she should figure as much.

Since you are looking for another position right now....I would ask her for a written recomendation. This way you can see what she is going to say and also she cannot go back on that and say terrible things about you on a reference. (It happens...even if poor references can bring on serious legal issues for the employer).

Also you are going to have to take some time and interview yourself in the mirror. Sounds stupid ...but seriously. You will be surprised how your face will look when you talk about why you left this company and about your boss/coworkers. With practice you can do this professionally without emotion and really per-fect what you are going to say. The reason I bring this up is my years in the HR industry I saw it all the time. Someone had a really bad time at a position and it just DID NOT come out right. :rolleyes: You know I got your back sister! If you need help with your resume or interviewing....we can work it out via pm. Heck I will even give you the hard behavioral interview over the phone to help if ya want. Anything I can do to help you.

That's CRAZY! I hate places like that! I wish the Military would out me like that though! LOL! Keep your head up and SMILE!!!!

Stephanie they dont deserve you! I bet they try to boost your hours to stop you from getting unemployment :mad:.I would look for another job and let them do the work :gj:

I never thought about a written recommendation. What if she rights a bad one because she acts like a conniving teenage girl? I was talking to a friend of ours and this lady is her cousin's aunt and is a real piece work, and not someone you want to cross. I could see her writing something bad. And thanks for all the advice and info. I think I should send you my resume just to get your input. I went to the career center at the University, but all they said was "looks good to me!" :rolleyes:

Thanks Joe! I wouldn't be surprised if they did that at all. The only problem is that they hired three people at once and they all want hours, we've needed these three people for about a year, but for some reason they waited to hire all three in one month :rolleyes:

send it to me my email address and then we can chat about it. If she writes a bad one then first of all you know she will not be a good reference and second you can remind her that legally negative references is really a personal interpretation and can open the company up to large law suits. This way she will know to say we only give dates of employement. You can use past employers or supervisors as your references at that point and tell the future emp. that they will only give dates. Also you can go directly to the HR dept. for your reference. I guarantee you they will only give dates of employment.

Be sure to let everyone know that you put them down as a reference so that they can expect a phone call (also they will be on the look out for it). Plus lots of times in interviews they will ask you..."what will this person say about you"....then you will have a good idea!!

That sucks! I can totally relate my gf used to work at a group home and I know how poorly some of those places can be ran. I've also been unemployed for over a year and literally put in 100+ apps. The job market is terribly rough right now and you may have to possibly lower your standards. Just keep plugging away update your resume and let your personality shine through. In the end it will all work out. Good luck!
