PassedOutGuy Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Long story short... the a$$hole President of the company I was about to work for payed me at a rate of 3 dollars an hour less than what was negotiated at the time of hire... So I called him on it to which he replied that there was no way that he would hire anyone at that rate and that people had been working for him for years as managers that dont make that much... To which I stated that he had written down the dollar amount that he offered me and said he was hiring me at that rate due to my previous retail management experinece... I replied that there was no way that I would have even accepted what he thinks he said he would pay me at the time of hiring... now I have no job... I guess i look at this as a blessing in disguise... Whose got my heady Job? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aromatherapy Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 No good! No good! Definitely try checking with some temp agencies again. If all else fails, the Lakeview Lunch is opening under new management and needs wait staff... TIPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 If you had a contracted rate take that bitch to court. I'm sure your termination was unfair in the law's eyes if that was the reason you were let go, an dif you have a written contract all the better.

PassedOutGuy Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 ya thats my problem... i had nothing in writing but a verbal agreement... all i had worked for him was 3 days of training so its technically in the three month probation period where the owner has full control of the situation... its my word against his...
