tuesday evening, just minutes before the end of my work day and momenta before my date with the soldier, I received a call from my Vice President of Operations. I had never shared words with this woman before, however I knew who she was. not someone I wanted to be getting a call from. a couple things bothered me about the call. i'll try to keep it short...
she accused me of poor performance and poor attendance. saying I worked when I wanted to work instead of my schedule. while she had a point, I had been working my hours to the beat of my ability and had a conference with my support team about it. ( I had pneumonia months ago and have been sick ever since. sometimes I am unable to get out of bed because I can't breath. ive also had about thirteen court date in the last ten months which were out pf my control) I was upset about it because I was always there. yes I averaged three days off a month but...I also somehow managed to work overtime so.....
poor performance was another thing she brought up. i'll quickly explain my history with my co-manager.....he's a dick and its impossible to run a club with him. no exaggeration. I asked for help from my team and hardly got it. my boss even told me the guy was trying to sabotage my career since day one. how does anyone expect a club to run when the co-managers have no professional respect for each other? it really pissed me off when she said I used him as an excuse for my mistakes and when we had a temp person step in for him, the reason the club was improving was because that woman was doing my job. far from the truth.
I also found out that someone I had tried to help out (a goodfriends sister that needed a job and after months of thinking about it I took her on board) anyways this girl was younger but I trusted her. I knew she wasn't in the beat living g situation and so.I helped out when I could, buying g lunch or something g like that. well there was an issue with her check once and I fronted her 400$...I cashed her check, my bank never deposited it just withdrew the money, so had to get a new paycard from our company since the check was gone. girl said she never got it and tried to gt another from the company. well she did use it and lied and blah blah blah. well now im out that 400$. I feel like she took advantage of my kindness and I am extremely disappointed.
so they asked me to leave the company because of all those things. I refused to quit. they said it wasn't going to work that way and they wanted to cut ties friendly while leaving the doorstep open for me. I still wouldn't quit and said they would have to fire me with severance pay and also pay my unemployment. well they agreed. so I am no longer with that company. I don't understand why they've already offered me the next club to open in the area, I doubt I will accept. I am collecting my unemployment and looking at. y options for filing harassment charges on the other manager and perhaps some other lawyer business. of course if I am legit thinking g about that, there's a ton ive left out over. the course of my ten months with this place. and as far as that girl...it is my beat friends sister but I really don't think I can look at her.
sorry that was a long rant...the good thing to come from this was I refused to give up, I stuck it out I held onto my pride. I may have been fired but I was ask offered another job with them. its sketchy. but the stress in my life has been brought down significantly. im taking the rest of the month off to just breath and enjoy no responsibilities.
