Mollys_mum Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Grrrrh! How cowardly of them! I'm sure I have heard about such things happening before though. In terms of employment rights, ACAS is the one to phone. (The helpline is manned by those qualified in Personnel so they are pretty good in the knowledge dept on this sort of thing) http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461 I don't know how long you've been there but sadly, employees have little by way of rights if having worked there for less than a year.

Mollys_mum Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yup, thought I'd come across this sort of thing before: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1264168/Leicestershire-shop-manager-sacked-text-message.html If you read the article, you'll see that he'd worked there for just under a year so nothing could be done. The union described it as 'callous' - I think it is as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormchaser09 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think you have had a lucky escape if that is how they treat people. You are better than that, move on and use your anger and frustrations to start up on your own and sod them. A few curses winging there way to the salon as we speak.

Removed #5 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey [MENTION=2176]Stormy[/MENTION] that was a really chicken-shit way of doing it. Seems someone doesn't have either enough nerve or sympathy to take the adult option. With everyone else, I agree it's pretty callous, pretty cold - but if that's the way they treat potential employees then you probably wouldn't want to work there long anyway! Best of luck with your future, there's someone out there who wants your quality of service - even if it means going it on your own and showing them that you are that much better than they are!

Removed #2 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I agree with Angela. Do you want to work for people like that? Obviously they lie. Unless, did they call the wrong number and then accidentally text you? If they say they called and there is no record, maybe they were calling someone else? Did you call them to confirm? I know the economy is bad everywhere, but in the USA we have "at will employment" and you can quit or get fired for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Your right No they definitely had the right phone numbers they are just lieing about calling me! I had no idea it was coming atall as far as i was aware they were quite happy with me and i went in and did my job i was getting good reviews from clients etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loops Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I had no idea it was coming atall as far as i was aware they were quite happy with me and i went in and did my job i was getting good reviews from clients etc. and therein lies the problem!.. you were too good and someone quite obviously saw you as a threat on either a personal or professional level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
