AIBU to think DD shouldn't have done this?

I wouldn't have stayed. Why do you think she should have?

Nocabbageinmyeye · 18/10/2017 16:47

So they told her during her shift she wasn't being kept on and she didn't finish out the shift? Seems fair to me, not many would stay would they? If you aren't being kept on its for a reason so bit like you will use them as a reference anyway. What age is your dd?

GreyHairs8 · 18/10/2017 16:47

I would have. It seems a bit immature. She'd have still been paid.

They don't want you, you leave. That's how it works.

GreyHairs8 · 18/10/2017 16:47

She's 17.

But they asked her to? They offered her until the end of the probationary period.

Did they just not keep her on or did she fail It?

DancingDragon · 18/10/2017 16:48

I wouldnt have stayed either.

teaandtoast · 18/10/2017 16:48

I don't reckon I'd have stayed either. Rookie mistake on their part not to tell her at the end of the shift!

NeedsAsockamnesty · 18/10/2017 16:48

I expect the told her to

Auspiciouspanda · 18/10/2017 16:49

I wouldn't either.

GreyHairs8 · 18/10/2017 16:49

Apparently they couldn't keep them all on and as she wasn't 18 so had to get people to approve alcohol they decided her.

So not good enough to hire but good enough to tide them over while they hire someone else and they are covered? Nope at 17 I'd be gone, at 38 I'd be gone actually so at 17 I definitely would have walked

QuestionableMouse · 18/10/2017 16:50

How long did she have left?

Namechangetempissue · 18/10/2017 16:50

I would leave. If my work wasn't good enough to keep me on, why stay?

AlternativeTentacle · 18/10/2017 16:50

I would have. It seems a bit immature.

Immature? You'd be daft to stay.

If her work isn't good enough for them tomorrow, why is it good enough today?

GreyHairs8 · 18/10/2017 16:50

2 weeks.

If you don't pass your probation at m work you're escorted from the building!

Caulk · 18/10/2017 16:51

I’m confused. Are you expecting to say to her that lots of people on the internet say she should have stayed and can she just go back in time and stay?

Nocabbageinmyeye · 18/10/2017 16:51

Cross posts, no I'd still go, I can't see many staying really. I also think it's a cop out saying they hired too many, your probationary period is shout you proving yourself, them miscalculating the number of staff they need is a different thing

BestZebbie · 18/10/2017 16:52

I'd have stayed because technically she was still required to be there as she was still being paid for that shift regardless. So leaving but taking the money is probably a crime on some level.

However, I don't think they'd actually do anything if she walked out, so I can see why people might, especially if they felt offended by not passing probation and wished to flounce.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 18/10/2017 16:53

I'd have walked too.

Whats the point in staying?

A silly decision because when she applies for her next job she will need a good reference and I am guessing at sometime soon she will be 18 and then they maybe looking for new staff.

Auspiciouspanda · 18/10/2017 16:54

Nah fuck them, not having enough cover might make them realise you can't just hire a bunch of people then fire some because you 'have to get rid of some'. A probationary period is to see you do a good job not to see if you can afford to keep them all on.

To get paid.
