I’m a bartender, but I’m not very social in my off time. More often than not I’m wiped until I go back to work. I live about a minute and a half walk away from the bar I work at so in the last six months, especially since both my partner and Is family have been dealing with extreme health issues, I’ve started keeping my phone on do not disturb on my days off, so I can recharge and spend time with my partner and dealing with my responsibilities. I had a long weekend this week because I had a court ordered class I had to attend so I’ve been off for 5 days. I showed up tonight and was promptly fired by my brand new manager because ‘part of my job is keeping my phone on and replying to group texts’ I turned my phone off do not disturb and had no missed notifications, she said she needed to speak with me but didn’t bother trying because she knows that I keep my phone off when I’m not at work. When I said, hey that’s my right, my off time is my off time, she SCREAMED that it was not and part of my job was answering my phone, I asked then if that was part of my job during my off time, why I had to cover the bill myself and didn’t make any sort of salary or compensation, I was immediately dismissed. (Ten minutes after her and her boyfriend our head of security) got into a fight in the kitchen and his mistakingly discharged his gun into a busy bar. I’m so over this
