Today, after over six weeks of not getting a single shift at my part time job, I finally went in to meet my new manager. He didn't even know I existed. Apparently my old manager lied and said I quit so they hired someone else. FML

Alright. OP here. My workplace switched managers due to our store getting a bad rating from corporate and sales basically tanking. He was demoted to a different store and instead decided to quit. I wasn't getting hours before my old manager left either. I had talked to him and he said the ratio with sales versus hours employees are working was out of whack or something along those lines, and since I hadn't been fully trained yet I couldn't run the shop on my own or even with one to two others there since they would have been either doing all the work or they wouldn't have needed me there. Also pretty much very other co worker had been whittled down to only one to three shifts a week other than the supervisors so that was out of my control but things are supposed to change when the new manager comes in. My new manager comes in a few weeks ago and I was still coming in every week to check the schedule. At this point nobody knew that's what my old manager had said. I kept seeing coworkers and talking to them, but never my new manager so I checked to see when he would be in. Inconveniently, just after this new manager transferred to our store he went on a two and a half week vacation (three weeks of work). The day he comes back in I come in and introduce myself and say I would like to discuss hours, and he has the most confused look on his face ever. I punch in my employee number and it says I am no longer employed. That's when we called the owner and figure out what had happened. They said they would call me. That was on Saturday and it's now Tuesday, so i have no idea whether or not I will be getting my job back. Either way I am looking for employment elsewhere since I obviously don't have much stability at my current workplace and the business is suffering badly anyway.

I'm surprised it took you six weeks to go in and ask what was going on.

Sounds like your old manager was a shift-y character

I want more. can you prove he did you can probably file something to HR don't let it go without a fight..

Sounds like your old boss was a great manager. The fact that he quit instead of accepting a demotion just makes him more of a bitch.

that's sucks your old manager lied but why wait 6 weeks? I'd have gone in after the first week

I'd take it up with the government department that deals with unfair dismissal.

wtf? my first question is why did you wait that long? the first week i wouldve been on alert and after 2 weeks I would've been like what's up? I'm tempted to say that they should fire you for lack of motivation for your job. but I feel bad since your last manager was a douche, though as I say it he may have told the new manager that because he thought you were a slacker and weren't good at your job, like not showing up or caring for 6 weeks that you werent on the schedule. I feel I may need more info before I can truly say FYL or YDI

I'm surprised it took you so long to ask what in the hell was going on. Sounds like you had a poor manager and a lousy company, so I wish you luck finding something better.

Did you try calling before that 6 weeks to ask? Who waits that long??
