Getting there, mostly half stitch and backstitch to go.

Well DD got the sack this week from her new job at Hungry Jacks. She had done about 4 or shifts with them. She was rostered on for this Sunday and found out she had to attend a dance seminar, so I advised her to give them plenty of notice so they could find a replacement, so she called last Tuesday and was promptly advised not to come back. We weren't too disappointed as after 2 weeks it was becoming quite apparent that Hungry Jacks reputation as being really bad to work for is well earnt. I just mad at myself for not letting her leave TAFE early to go for an interview at Coles. There was a group interview as Coles are doing some changes and a big recruitment drive. I thought she give Hungry Jacks a go for a few months and didn't want her to get behind at TAFE this early on. DOH

While I can understand they wouldn't be impressed with her cancelling a shift, but I thought this was harsh, as she knew there people who could have covered for her. What would they prefer she call up the same day and give them no notice. It can't be very cost effective to hire and fire like this. I was not impressed on Saturday night when nobody could spare a few minutes of their time to make sure she was picked up Ok after her shift finished at midnight, they finished about 15 minutes early and we were already on our way. But no, left a 16 yr old girl alone in the dark at midnight, so I just kept her on the phone. Well there must be better just around the corner.
