Ugh hon, i have complete sympathy for you!

I was working at a salon, just sales floor, not a stylist. I was waiting for my BF to get home from work to take me to my job. There was a TERRIBLE snowstorm going on. I called my boss and told her, im coming but i will be late. She said thats fine and my boyfriend and i started up. So we are halfway there (on a drive that normally takes 20 minutes) it had been about an hour. Im on a highway moving 5 MPH and i call her, tell her im still coming but we are stuck on the highway. She tells me, Dont bother coming in again.

WHAT????

About 16 years ago, I worked for a local fast food place here in Portland. My 2 year old nephew needed surgery and I asked for the day off. My boss said "Why? Your being there won't make a difference to him" Strange how I can still remember his exact words. My nephew died the next day. I will never regret putting my foot down and taking the day off.

Same boss also grumbled when I took the next two days off for family and funeral. Will be sad when kharma catches up to him.

You did the right thing. There is an awesome job out there for you!!

what an insensitive idiot! i'd've told him i wasn't going for my nephew, but rather for my brother/sister - his parent & my sibling!

I agree.


I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job, but if your boss is that big of a jerk, you're better off getting another job, IMO. The woman sounds like the type of person who wants her employees to do all the work, while she makes all the money and jet-sets all over the world.


I hope you find a new (and much better) job soon!

Thank you!

Also, how do you file a complaint about wrongful termination?
