I was supposed to start my job today, the one I spent over a year and a half looking for. I came in on a separate occasion after getting the job to verify all the details. Everything was set. Except they put me down for the wrong shift and when I showed up for the correct one announced that I'd been stricken from the employee list.
All they'd say at first was 'If you show up even ten minutes late on your first day, we won't keep you on'. I showed up twenty minutes early for the shift I was told to arrive at. Only after not going away meekly did they say that MAYBE I'd be able to get the job back if the manager who hired me decided it was all right.
I'm going back at 9 AM tomorrow to talk to this guy. Not once did anyone apologize or admit that they might have made a mistake. Instead they treated me like I was some lazy, lying bum who was lying about their screw up.
I need this job. It's at the point where Boston Market threw out my application because I had no experience and McDonalds wasn't interested. I don't really know what to do at this point. When fast food places don't want you, you start to feel a little worthless.
Blargh.

LOL. No ass kicking necessary. I'm feeling a lot better, having got the initial hurt and anger out of the way when I got home. If I go in tomorrow and they refuse to do anything, then it will have been a blessing in disguise-- I wouldn't want to work for a place that would do that.

There would be no 'roughing up', there would be nothing left when I got done with my wiffle bat. But seriously, the manager should see the mistake and say 'oops, my bad, let's get you on the right schedule here.'

I hope so, Methelsandriel. Judging by the reaction I got upon going in today, I'm not sure, considering the response to the mix up was 'strike her from the employee record and don't call her at all'. Meh. I'll just be incredibly paranoid for the rest of tonight, then settle things tomorrow. And if they don't take me back, their loss. I'll just continue to be broke

Wow, I work in a semi-human resources position, and from my point of view that's really shitty what they did. And VERY unprofessional. In all honesty, if they can't own up to a simple mistake, then they probably aren't worth working for. I hope it all works out for the best. And don't worry, it's not you, it is them! The right job will happen along, just put it out to the universe in a welcoming way, not a negative way and something will pop up....

Good news, I went in today and everything got cleared up. I'm working from the morning to the mid afternoon on Saturday, and all is good. I'm just going to have to make sure not to screw up at all-- I don't want any more negative attention
