God damn it’s been a week. Basically I work at a music store that has a total of 3 employees including me and the manager. The manager was super condescending all the time, would give me faulty information then would attempt to gaslight me to make it sound like he never said it. Awful to work with overall. I asked to work Wednesdays instead of Fridays because I had a recurring conflict that started(I’m part time at the store and a college student and I also gig with my band frequently). He deadass says no I can’t change my availability because I “made a commitment to those hours”, the hours that I haven’t altered since the beginning of the semester in January. He keeps repeatedly asking me over the next couple days for my availability as if my answer is gonna change and then last Monday he fires me over the phone. I contact the district manager to let her know what happened but was overall glad to be fired. Apparently she was never informed he was gonna fire me, and apparently she told him “talk to him and see if you can figure something out” and he interpreted that as “you are not allowed to change your availability”. I get a call 2 days later from her telling me he got let go and asking if I would be interested in returning. It’s gonna be summer soon so I’m down to work that job alongside a higher paying music teaching job that I’m applying for that has different hours, so I’ll be making bank in an actually healthy work environment for the first time in the year I’ve worked with that guy. I’m elated y’all
TL;DR
Boss bad, Boss fire me for changing availability, I contact district manager, boss gets fired and I get to work without being stressed and talked down to
