I received 2-3 hours of training on the very first day and was then left to muddle thru the day. From that day forward I received no further training, I seemed to make my own decisions based in common sense. I was yelled at by the assistant manager in front of other employees for making the wrong choices. That day I didapologize for my mistakes. However the employees that witnessed the incident confronted the asst manager and told him that it was very unprofessional to desipline me in front of them. because I was making my own choices for over a month and receiving random feedback from management and other employees in how to do the job. I did ask the asst manager what is the proper procedure and was told there wasn't a procedure in place. In one situation I was told to do one thing and then in a similar incedient I was told to do a totally different thing. After 5 weeks of self training , and learning thru trial and error I was still muddling thru when I was called into the office by both the asst manager and the manager and told that I'm causing too much confusion and trouble, costing the company money and they were letting me go. Is this a wrongfully dismissal bichirs I was never trained or am I just over reacting? During this 5 week period, I made arrangements to move into the area and even changed schools for both my kids.
A wrongful dismissal doesn't really have to do with the reason for letting you go. A wrongful dismissal is a situation where you don't get enough severance (or any severance). In your case, if you signed an employment agreement that allows the company to let you go in the first 3 months without severance, then you are not owed anything. If you did not sign such a document, then you are owed severance and that could potentially be worth a few months pay, even after only working for 5 weeks. Please give me a call to discuss.
