Superannuation – Australian retirement fund for those who don't know.
I had a casual job and started not getting shifts for a while. That can be quite normal for casual workers so I wasnt too worried and decided to look for another job as well.
After about three weeks, I get a letter from my superannuation saying that the company I worked for told them I'm not working for them anymore (for the purpose of reminding me to take my super with me to my next job).
And I was like RLLY confused because I didn't get a call, or email or text about losing my job. I checked everywhere. Not to mention the job wasnt even that great. Had some really sweet customers which was the only highlight of it but apart from that the management team was pretty bad, even though they liked to pretend to be your friend.
Also had rude customers too who would be mad at me about inflation (like I'm not the one setting the prices ) and just other things that weren't my fault.
I was going to look for another job anyways but I'm just taken aback by how shitty this whole experience was and it was my first job too. Like if you're going to fire me, have the decency to tell me. I've always been kind to the management team too even if they were being rude sometimes….because well that's what you're supposed to put up with when you want to keep your job – which is ironic, considering what happened.
I think the reason I lost my job was because I got older and it's cheaper to pay younger people (as if they weren't making more than hundreds of thousands each week)
