The biggest mistake I made as a #AssistantManager at #Idens ...

Trying to actuality take some PTO that I racked up over about a year and hadn't used ant of (had over 40 hours). My younger brother and father were in town visiting (they live in South Carolina). After covering for my boss and running the shop (I was the assistant manager) during a two week absence after his child was born, I thought taking my approved PTO days wouldn't be an issue. I received a text at 9:30 A.M from my manger saying, "bring in your key and uniform. " I was fired just like that. The reasoning behind it was they needed me to train that new manager (after being told I would be getting the promotion to manager). He had no Auto Body detailing experience and I had been assistant managing that shop for about a year. Needless to say I was already fairly upset about that, so taking a couple paid time off days felt very reasonable and fair. I think anybody could find a reason to take a couple paid time off days after year of taking no time off. the company has one of the worst turnover rates I have ever seen and I have worked in about five or six different restaurants, which if you've ever worked in a restaurant you know how much employee turnover there is, there is a lot. I trained more new employees and met more new trainees then I ever had at any other job in any field of work. It just shows that the company has zero royalty to you no matter what you put in and give to them. Maybe it just wasn't a good fit for me, it seems like an alright company for a while. But when it came down to it they didn't care about me.
