I am 25 years old, in the service industry for 10 years now. I was working for 6 months at a bar/restaurant, and had a serious personal issue with my boyfriend that was scary and upsetting. I always showed up to work, but after a rude customer I had a break down. My manager, coworkers, and the owner were nothing but consoling and took over and sent me home. My manager walked me home. Sat in my kitchen, with a pen and paper making a plan. I felt like I couldn’t say no. They booked me an air bnb, had me walked to work, and gave me a week off and shifts not to close till I was okay. This actually made everything worse as they did not know my actual personal situation. It was very hard and personal and I didn’t care for the staff because they are very disrespectful.
I got fired the other day from the owner saying because I got rid of my shift for an appointment, didn’t call in sick I just asked, they said it was fine..... my former girl coworkers went to my boss saying I was seen that night with my boyfriend in heels at 245 am.
When I showed up for my next shift... that was the exact circumstance my boss had told me why I was fired.
I do not think my personal life, that they forcefully got involved with, was appropriate. Seeing me with my ex boyfriend, is none of there business as they do not know what I go through. I am not friends with them.
I love there idea to help me, I get it, but they made it worse. And fired me for something personal.
