Urghhhh what a god awful day.
So I model and I am a photographer and also organise events but in my other life I worked successfully in travel for many years, I was unfortunately made redundant during the Lockdown and covid pandemic so have been doing casual bar work as well as my shoots.
My latest pub job was going well in a family run local until the bosses eldest daughter (21 years old) who was put 'in charge ' took on the manager role and proceeded to belittle me at every opportunity and in the end I was dreading going to work, it's hard when you have managed a successful travel agency to go to being told off for not putting a glass on a shelf 'correctly'.
Things came to a head a few weeks ago when she called me outside in front of customers and yelled in my face about me not pulling my weight, this is not true and I was one of the best staff in that place, always going the extra mile for customers, I even took a terminally ill customer on holiday with me as he had no other family, did photography for them at no extra cost and participated in many fundraisers. Anyways I woke up the next day to a text saying I was no longer needed and as it was a casual 0 hour contract that was that. I feel that jealousy played a major part as she was always very snidey in her remarks about my work and photography. I was gutted but I brushed myself off and applied for a new travel agency that announced was opening up in the same village.
I aced the interview and was offered a position the very next day as store manager, something I knew I could handle and I knew I would bring invaluable experience.
I was then called 2 days later to say they had recruited a member of staff who just happened to be the owners other daughter and they had heard I worked at this pub and suddenly needed a reference from them even though it was totally irrelevant to this particular role. In the meantime I received a contract and job offer of a amazing salary.
I had no choice but to ask her for a reference and I was told it would be done.
I was meant to start this job tomorrow and have just received a email, not even a phone call to say the offer has been revoked due to a unsatisfactory reference, they will not disclose what it was but I am not stupid. I'm completely floored by this and actually thought my life was taking a turn for the better and I would finally have a solid career.
I just needed space to vent because I have never been in this situation before and I can't believe people would be so bloody cruel to not only take away my bar role that I enjoyed but to sabotage my new job.
Why are people such arseholes!
Anyway that's that I've spent the last hour applying to other roles and what will be will be. In the meantime apologies in advance but expect some castings from me as I currently have 0 income and need to pay bills rent and feed my children.
Anyways have a good day people x
