Answer 1

Maybe it had more to do with your inability to spell and structure sentences properly.

Answer 2

If you were scheduled to work, and you did not have what THEY felt was a good excuse for not being there (ESPECIALLY if you didn't call in and tell them that you couldn't come in), then--YES--I am sorry to tell you that people almost always get fired the first time that they do that. Employers almost never give you a second chance over something like that.

Some people think that you have to screw up, like, three times before they can fire you, and that they have to write you up each time; but the truth is that they can fire you for any reason at all, good or bad. But if they fire you in a way that is illegal, then you can sue for "wrongful termination." It doesn't sound like you have a good "wrongful termination" case here. So look for another job, and try to not do that again.

Answer 3

I'm only 16 and have had one job. But I quit within 2 months. Yes, I realize first jobs are difficult, but when I quit my manager was actually begging me not to quit, and said if I ever needed a job I always had one. But when I told them I needed a job with a set schedule, like 4-10pm or 7-2pm, they said that was fine. But every week when I got my hours, they would schedule me sometimes in the morning, sometimes closing the store, sometimes in the middle of the day. I was the only one with a schedule like that. It was terrible. I couldn't get any of my school work or any other responsibilties done. And the customers were just so ungreatful even when I tried my hardest to make sure they were happy. And the co-workers I had were just blithering idiots. I ended doing their jobs most of the time including my own. I think they're were 3 other people who were smart in there. And they were all my age. (I was homeschooled, but I'm going into public this year, another reason I quit).

Answer 4

It depends on the kind of job, and if they gave you warning in advance. Some jobs when you get the job you agree to show up to work if they ask you 24 hours or more in advance. There also are jobs where you are on call. Any job that doesn't pay alot but asks you to come in when someone else is out isn't worth having, but that's my opinion. If you want to collect un-employment and you are denied, contest the firing. Otherwise unless it's a high paying job, look for another job, it's not worth working for a place that treats employees like that. If it's a fast food joint, go to the next one and tell them that you need 24 hours notice.

Answer 5

I don't know where you are. But in california, you can go and talk to someone in the department of labor. They may help you and find out if there is any "wrongful termination" involved.

This is somewhat serious because if you are fired with you being at fault, you can not claim unemployment.

Also, there are some free legal sites that you can talk to them for advice if you think you are being terminate wrongfully.

Good luck! Don't get too sad or upset ! Tomorrow will be better day.

Trust me!

Answer 6

Go back to school and learn how to spell and use proper English. But you can't get fired or shouldn't get fired because you don't go in on your day off. That's BS. You should contact the unemployment office and see if they can refer you to someone to call about this or maybe they can make those bastards pay you even though you are fired (I mean paid through unemployment).

Answer 7

Thats not right. Seriously, that was supposed to be a choice for you. But if its a private company, then they can do whatever they want. Its f*cked up, but now you can file unemployment.

I was fired for verbal abuse, which I deny, I'm a very sweet girl. Heehee. And I even put in a 2 weeks notice a few days before that. And not to forget, they all cuss at each other.

Answer 8

well, from my point of view, it is indeed your mistake for not going in for that somebody. If you are really busy you should have take the initiative ti at least inform your superior and not just say you are busy and so you got the right to ignore everything else. Just dun make the same mistake next time again.take care.

Answer 9

If you told the boss you would be working for someone else on a day, and you don't show up.. it's like a "No Call No Show" and most companies will not deal with that and will ask you nicely to not worry about ever coming back.

Answer 10

If you were scheduled to go in for someone but didn't, your reason doesn't matter. (with the exception to family emergency)

Busy, doesn't cut it. You were thinking more of yourself and not of your commitment.

Your decisions in life are a direct reflection of results. Learn from this and think about it next time you are in this situation.

I'll bet you won't make the same mistake again.

Answer 11

If it was your day off and your boss asked you to come in,then you don't have to. He/She cannot fire you for that. Go in person to the Department of Labor-Wage and Hour Division and ask to speak to someone there. Tell them everything in detail what happened. Good luck.
