let go b/c i wasn’t “flexible” enough
I started working with this family 3 months and really got good vibes from the family at first and really liked the kids. I noticed quickly mom was disorganized, but as I’m also pretty type B I didn’t really mind and figured we’d be able to relate to each other well. Out of the blue this morning, I receive an email saying I’ve been fired and I can finish out the month. No conversations had about expectations not being met, nothing. Talked to mom and she cites me not being able to do two date nights as the reason why when she gave me six hours notice and those hours weren’t included in my regular shifts. (on one of those occasions she forgot it was her husband’s birthday on the one weekday i told her i never have late availability, i offered to do a late shift any other night that week free of charge which she did not take me up on.) this past saturday, she texts me at 10am asking if i can work at 6pm and i was out of town. She also cited a pre hire date vacation (which i informed her of before i even signed the contract) as being a major disruption. She also said that because my family dates (ie grandmas birthday, brothers wedding) do not work with their schedule they can’t keep me on. I truly have never met such a narcissistic person. I know it’s within her rights to let me go but to not even having a conversation touching base? Also important to note that I have never been late to or missed any of my regular shifts, but because I have declined a few “bonus” shifts, I am not a good fit. Feeling super drained and discouraged with the employers I am encountering in this industry in general.
Additional context: Threw a tantrum at me and played palisades fire victim card, “I’ve been through so much I am entitled to a date night every now and then with my husband.” “Do you know what I had going on on (pre-hire dates you already had planned off)? My sisters fundraiser!” Rich people are babies. She’s a bored SAHM who clearly creates chaos in other people’s lives because she doesn’t feel in control of her own and most likely has some sort of drug problem.
