Ok this might be long, sorry in advance.
So I started back at work after mat leave beginning of June, complete new job. Only 3 days per week. It's a sales job, v similar to my previous job pre DC. I was set targets. I hit them, didn't miss any.
I have just come back from a weeks holiday, prior to my holiday, a new person was hired to work full time (5 days per week) with notice with her old job etc she isn't due to start until September.
So I got there this morning, boss basically advised that she cannot afford to keep me on, and that the new lady who has not started yet will be doing my role 2 days per week and then what she was actually hired to do for the other 3 days.
Then I got that she will pay me for this week and do I want a lift home. Pretty much see you later Nannyplum.
She then followed up with how I was very good at the job, everyone liked me blah blah.
I never received a contract, they hadn't got round to it.
Can she just wave me off without any notice?
I feel like I've been bumped off in favour of somebody who can work full time whereas I can't for childcare reasons.
Still a bit in shock, not quite sure how I'm going to manage with bills etc. Need to get looking for a new job asap. Just wondering if she's within her rights, I think she probably is sadly but didn't know if anyone could confirm it?
