As silly as the title sounds, at my recent job working as a chef I have been sacked because my girlfriend, who also worked there, left because of abusive management. After six months of working there, I was taken off the rota with no explanation. My manager would not respond to any of my messages, and after talking with my peers there, apparently the owner told the manager to take me off the rota and not tell me.

Title says it all. Got hired as a trainee in boatbuilding, was honest straight from the bat that i had no experience. After 4 months of busting my ass their excuse for letting me go is “We’re not here to train you, you have to teach yourself.” 🫥
