Dss has just gotten let go from a top London restaurant. He has been working there for 2 days a week for the past 7 weeks and getting on very well indeed. They have had to make cutbacks (understandable in this climate) and have promised him a full time job when he finishes college. He is gutted but understands. The head chef was very nice and said lots of encouraging things but the executive head chef needed to make cut backs so dss got the boot.
But they refused to give him a reference saying that he wasn't there long enough. Which I think is a bit mean. Ok they have promised him a job but what about between now and then?
It will look very bad when he goes for a different job if he doesn't have a reference from the last one. I think it is a bit mean to let someone go when you have no problem with their work and not give them a reference?
