 Friday Venting

I just got home from work. I'm so angry and pissed off and upset. I've been working at the same place for 4&1/2 years. I'm good at what I do, I work hard, the guys tell me I hold the place together. And I've just been given a months notice, if I don't show up for work tomorrow morning.

My job is a weekday job - office chick for a courier company that only opens Mon-Fri. Supposed to be nine to five, but as it has ended up, its 7.30am to 5.30pm. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and my boss wants me to go ino work. I told him I couldn't because I have the wedding to go to and he told me if I don't show up, I'll have my job for a month and then no more. A month only coz its nearly christmas and we deliver those christmas hampers and it's really busy for the next month or so.

I don't think he has the right to do this to me. And I still can't go in tomorrow, coz I'm still going to go to my friends wedding. Do you think I'm being unreasonable?

I have so many more feelings about this situation but my vision is going a bit blurry from the tears. Sorry.

Surely there's some sort of legislation that means your boss can't say he'll give your job away just like that!?! I'd seek some advice from someone who knows something about the workplace laws.

Why can't he understand that a wedding is a one-off thing and that you'll be back ready to work till Xmas afterwards? It's not like you've decided at the last minute to just take off and leave him in the lurch....

I've decided to give my notice on Monday. My boy and parents are fully backing me with my decision. If he's going to be that way, I don't want to be there anymore.
But thank you for your thoughts and advise. stay tuned for the job hunt..

Good luck, positive thoughts for you!

Hopefully there's lots of jobs around for the Xmas rush- today my friend got a job at a jewellery store as a Xmas casual, and she only handed her resume in yesterday!

I'd say there is a chance that he's setting you up. See, you're angry and you are going to quit instead of he's going to let you go and then you will be entitled to benefits. See? He can't fire you in 30 days because you took a day off. If he's going to let you go, he needs to do it now. Hold off on the resignation until you have something to replace it. (unless you really want out) Think about it some more.

I think your boss is the one being unreasonable.
He has you in a very hard place.
I hope it all works out for you.
I would be upset too.
