Before i start my argument i would like to say that the "store owner" does not like me whatsoever. Also the GM and store manager have a very bad relationship.
One more: I am a college student and I told both the GM and store owner, that i will need SAT and SUN off permanently. We agree.
Okay, with this said let me begin:
I worked at a franchise and i needed Friday off. So I told the GM that i needed Fri off. The GM said no problem and told me i would have that day off, in fact, i told the store owner and he wrote it down on paper for the GM.
The next week i have work on Fri and Sat. I called the GM and told him that i needed those days off. He then tells me , "oh i'm sorry i made a mistake, i will take care of this, don't worry your fine". (In a text message i have) I insist " are you 100% sure?" he says "yes"
I then call my company just to INSURE that everything was okay that day. Instead, the store owner picks up and tells me " I don't care what the GM says, you were scheduled to work and you didn't, your off the schedule"
I believe this is a defamation of character and there are several other employees who have been fired for this same reason. Now, i don't think a class action lawsuit would be appropriate due to the costs of attorneys.
What are my options, and i'm I at fault for this incident or him?
