Family/Work Problems

I am so sorry that you've had to deal with your father being this way. I can't even imagine how heartbreaking that must be. I know that he is not your biological father, but that doesn't matter. He has raised you, he is your father. I hope that you can get this whole thing resolved easily. Good luck ((((hugs))))

Thank you for the replies.

I got my job back, I started back tonight. My dad had called and apologized, but I think the general manager made him, as he really didn't talk to me again tonight. We'll see what happens, but for now it's ok. Me and Chris, the general manager, had a long discussion about different things, and it turns out my dad had lied about things that I had supposedly said (that I wanted to quit and stuff?) and that I agreed to leave? So that is where that stands.

I can't, and don't really want to get in the middle of any sexual harassment accusations, that is my friends issue should she choose to pursue it.

Find another job. I can't believe you would go through the bother of thinking of making a claim against the company, based on what you have mentioned. Where was the illegal firing conduct as it relates to YOU? And, why EVER would you want to be in such an environment?

But, I would think a little bit about some life style choices. If this is what you are dealing with, at age 20 (or, was that your friend's age?), with a minimun wage type job, imagine how you would feel dealing with that in your 40's?? I would look into furthering your education. Not that you won't have to deal with jerks like you have described your father to be, but, hopefully it won't be as often.

I never understand getting embroiled in this sort of thing, instead of just taking your energies and walking away.

Well, I really like the job. That is why I stay. It is decent money, I like my 'duties', and I like most of the people I work with. I don't see why I should leave if I only have a riff with my dad. Literally, everything else is fine, which is why I questioned why I was being fired. It really wasn't fair.

I am 19. Domino's is my part time job, full time I am a vet tech. I tried college for a year and it didn't work out, I really didn't enjoy it. -shrug- Maybe if I find something that I like, I will go to a technical school or certificate program. I am really starting to like working with the xray machine, maybe something along the lines of that, but for right now I am fine.

Sweetie - you do what feels right for you. Sounds like you have an ally in Chris

Great that you got to keep your job!

If you're happy with the outcome, then that's all that's important!
AND it's also important that he acts like a professional at all times.
Good Luck to you!
