My partner was told that last Friday was his last day. At first his employer said it was due to a lack of work available, but my partner called them out and reminded them of the several projects he was just given two weeks ago. They then stated the client referenced tardiness and leaving early as the reasons for letting him go, none of which has been brought to his attention before now. He also has never left early, ever. We work at the same location and he is always making me stay late when we drive in together. His employer told him they would speak with the client and get back to him, then called him back about half an hour later and said he would continue to be employed until the 20th and to come back in today.
He's already working on his resume and looking for new positions, but this really sucks because he was trying to transition into a full time role at this company and is scared they are going to blacklist him or something. What should he do? He is going to come in all week because he needs the pay, is there anything else he should be doing?
