I was 17yrs old and I scored my first job, with McDonalds.
I lived in a small country town in Austraila and was doing my
final year of high school. I worked 3 nights a week for about
6-8 months.I was nearing my 18th birthday and I was given some fairly
devastating news, my mother was dying of cancer. I informed
my manager of this and requested some time off to be with my mum.
This was denied. For the next month, I was harassed by
management, who claimed that I was not working well.I was finally asked to resign. I did.
I later found out that management had told the other
staff members that my mum was not sick and not to take any notice
of me.My mums funeral procession drove straight past that local
McDonalds store.
None.
