| 1113970 | 2010-06-27 23:14:00 | Wtf, who said anything about a cellphone? It's only the one manager that has a problem with me, he's power hungary as he has only just come into management, not a single other manager has a problem with anything I do. I show up on time, I do ALL my work. I never even call in sick, even when I am. All I want to know is after a dismissal do you still get your acrued holiday pay? |

| 1113971 | 2010-06-27 23:16:00 | yes you should get holiday pay, that's normally acrued. if you are with a inter agency you may need to request, if you don't they don't give it to you, haha, thinking in future you would get another role with them so they keep your "store credit" under your account. lol. not part of union? |

| 1113973 | 2010-06-27 23:21:00 | Even if you were on probation for something else, most employers will look at what was done, in this case txting --- If it were something important, like someone had an accident, or a real emergency, then it more than likely would have been over looked, BUT if it were simply something social, like whos going to meet where or something else non emergency then you know the rules, and warning, so they were carried out. You obviously know the rules and chose to break them. If someone sends you a txt theres no need to answer it right away. To quote Billy In the real world, rules are rules, warnings mean what they say, and a significant change of attitude and behaviour is not just expected, it is demanded. Welcome to the real world. PS: As for the holiday pay -- you should get whats owing. |

| 1113974 | 2010-06-27 23:34:00 | Wtf, who said anything about a cellphone? You mentioned "I got fired from Burger King in Tauranga over a txt message" Was that you were txting, the manager txted you or you were involved in the content of a txt? Some here are lucky to be self employed or bosses because I don't think they'd handle a contract with 15 reasons for instant dismissal :D |

Some here are lucky to be self employed or bosses because I don't think they'd handle a contract with 15 reasons for instant dismissal :D Indeed - were you fired via a txt message from your manager, or were you fired by your manager in person because you were txting on-the-job? |

| 1113978 | 2010-06-27 23:51:00 | I was on probation for 90 days because apparently my work ethic wasn't up to standard and they said one more slip up was a cause for instant dismissal . Well there you go . And you decided it was a good idea to txt at work . |

| 1113979 | 2010-06-27 23:54:00 | Wtf, who said anything about a cellphone? You. Errrr I got fired...over a txt message. It's only the one manager that has a problem with me, he's power hungary as he has only just come into management, not a single other manager has a problem with anything I do Junior manager, senior manager, STILL YOUR MANAGER. In my contract...but I got fired from the most junior manager, over txt message. I was on probation for 90 days because apparently my work ethic wasn't up to standard and they said one more slip up was a cause for instant dismissal You keep saying THEY, is this just the junior manager, or were you on probation before he came into management, because you say he only just has. Either way you were put on probation for a reason. I show up on time, I do ALL my work. I never even call in sick, even when I am. Please don't work at a fast food restaurant while you are sick. Sort it out, this is the real world. And if you do get paid out your holiday pay be grateful. I know in my job if you are fired you don't get a cent. |
