The job I lost
I have worked in the Golf Course Industry for almost fifteen (15) years only to be dismissed illegally twice! And by the same employer! Mind boggling to me. Last year, my wife went to the hospital and I took one day off. The heartless new supervisor (who was new one week) fired me when I came back the next day. Of course, I filed a dispute, won the case and got my job back three months later. Now he did it to me again five months ago! I am in the process of the same ordeal all over again.
What it's like being unemployed
It is likened to being put in the Tower of London awaiting triall! Am I to be freed and get my life back or will I lose my head? The experience is one nightmare. In the beginning I was able to go on many interviews. Three golf courses hired me only to call me back the next day and tell me they weren't going to bring on new hires. No money! I never in my life had anyone do this. One of them actually had me go to an 3 hour orientation , turn in my voided checks for the direct deposit, get the drug test. Only to call me the next day and tell me no new hires!
Advice
- Make sure when you are interviewed there are legitimate job openings. Do not waste your time and money going on senseless interviews. I think some of these employers just want to fill in some idle time. I would make certain there are definite openings.
