Just been ghosted from my current employer
I've been doing hospitality work for 8 years now, very well trained, have supervisor experience too. I moved to a new city almost a year ago, and its been hard to find work, despite my CV being fab with plenty of references.
After sending out about 60 applications, the only place that got back to me were interested, but its a part time 0hr job. I was desperate, so I took it.
Everything was going really well for the first 2 months. No issues at all. They were friendly, helped me out with any questions that I had. Even invited me on a night out, but I turned it down as I was busy that day. I honestly thought things were going well, and I was pulling in about 20hrs a week. Not bad.
My shifts are 90% solo, just me running the pub. I don't mind that. On one shift, a protest started just down the street. The police already knew about it, and had set up in advance. A police van was parked outside the pub where half of the outdoor seating area goes, and I asked if he was able to move. He wasn't able to, but he was super polite about it, and I was still able to put out the other half of the seating area.
I informed the group chat on what was going on, and my manager freaked out. She told me I had to demand he moves, and I was like "hello?? i'm not going to demand an officer to move." Plus it was a Sunday, and there was max 6 people in the pub. Super dead.
I finished my shift at 4, and after I left, the manager came in to have a drink. She apparently demanded the same police offer to move his van, and he did (probably out of fear.) She then made a huge post on Facebook, ranting about "how dare the police park outside. We are a business that needs that space to make money, blahblahblah."
The post faced a BIG backlash, hundreds of comments telling her she's in the wrong, tha the police are doing their job and ensuring peoples safety. She eventually turned off comments.
After that, she started acting cold towards me. I went away for a weekend holiday, and on my first day, she messaged me to inform me that all my shifts had been taken off me. I asked why, and she said they needed those hours to train new starters. Why tell me this on my holiday? I spent the entire weekend stressing about not getting any hours, meaning I'm not being paid.
Since then, I haven't received any hours. I've messaged her multiple times, but been left on read. I was recently removed from the group chat, and I messaged her yet again. Still, nothing. It really seems like my employer has ghosted me because of that one incident, despite me doing nothing wrong.
I would go in, but the pub rota changes each week, so I wont know when she's in. I've actually been offered a full time, higher paying job that I'm starting tomorrow, but I'm still mad at how immature and petty this employer was. My plan is to leave a few reviews on their business warning people about the immaturity of the manager, but I'll probably just face backlash. That pub was dead anyway, rarely making £500 a day. I can see it closing soon anyway.
Vent over.
