My friend got hired at a seasonal job after her mom passed away and she had to take on the maternal role in her family. When she got hired in her interview she explicitly stated how she only wanted to work part time so she could go back home to help her family (this job and housing is less than an hour from her family house), and that she did not have a car so to please allow room in the schedule for carpooling. Basically no opening shifts 3-4 days a week. She was then put on every 8 am shift for full time and even worked seven days in a row during the Fourth of July holiday. Being reliant on others for rides, when most employees arrived to work an hour after her, she was only late two times which were out of her control. Of course she got a write up but never was told she was supposed to get a copy of the write or that she had the ability to plead her case on the comment section of the document. She just signed under the agreement that if she was late to work again without communication she would be terminated. Mind you, she had let someone know both times she was late prior. Today she woke up, got ready and sat on her porch for half an hour waiting on a ride. When she realized she would be late again she notified the manager and found a ride soon after. She got to work, clocked in and carried on as usual, but after only two hours another manager came in and told her she was done and to clock out. Now she is an ex employee with no housing or meal plan or car. She got fired before she could even finish her shift of eat lunch. Currently stuck on campus with no way home or food until her family comes up to get her. She literally got fired for working shifts she stated she couldn’t work.
