If some of you look at my previous threads you'll see I've been having issues with my most recent employer. To the point I'm looking for other work.
Well, I went back for a few weeks without any issue, but I received an email saying my personal days would expire at the end of the year. My fiance is a teacher on fall break, so I decided to use them now. A few hours ago I received a voicemail from my employer telling me I'm fired and to turn in my equipment or I'll be charged for it. First of all, my equipment is there. Secondly, I used personal days I had stacked and was told would expire.
I was fired via voicemail for missing too many days. This sounds really weird to me. How can I be let go for being notified to do such a thing? Also, for those not wanting to look at my history, I work at a call center.
Is this legal? I've been calling and sending emails over and over only to be ignored.
EDIT; I'm in the U.S.
EDIT #2; Update for those wondering. I'm settled in. This morning I had an interview and the job was extended on the spot. Mon. I have to go take a drug test that's scheduled. Good news is that it pays over $4 more an hour than I was making previously. I feel really fortunate and lucky. To all of those who quoted me, I do apologize I didn't respond, but I was super stressed out and didn't wan't to deal with judgement.
For those of you who pm'ed me, I really appreciate the support. Also, I appreciate the people wishing me the best in this thread. Thanks a lot.
