shugabooga Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 especially the part about her hiring your son then laying you off. isn't that called nepotism, which is against firm policy at many companies. i hope they'll give you a good reference. in the meantime, sign up for unemployement. the number to call is 888.209.8124 and you can do it over the phone.good luck!

rachel1997 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Well, can't you go to some city office to tell them that they hired thier son over you and they are not allowed to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shugabooga Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 i don't know the laws governing nepotism. i don't think they're federal or state laws, but probably each company has their own policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycchic24 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 i am sorry i know how hard it is. god knows i was scared shitless last year when it happend to me. right after xmas my company filed chapter 7. I also work in retail merchandising, and living in boston you dont have a lot of options/opps plus the fact that two other retail companies had closed or been bought out in the past 3 months so there was a huge surplus of ppl in myjob market. so after jobhuntin and interviewing for a month, i packed my shit up and moved here! i know it was pretty gutsy to move to acity where i virtually no one and no secure job. i was very fortunate and got a job in 3 days. I'd have to say that if it wasn't for being laid off, I would not have ;landed this great oppty. It might get hard and a lil frustrating, but you have to stay focused and keep pluggin awayi mean its true what they say that everything does happen for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that sucks is going through the whole interview process again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
