So, I just got laid off from my a job a few weeks ago. I was working a retail job for this shoe store (not like a Footlocker, more of a dress shoes/boots place) and they decided they had to let me go because there weren't enough hours to go around for everyone.. My manager called me and in his words said "It's tough to find enough hours for everybody nowadays so we're gonna have to let you go. However, if we decide to start hiring within the upcoming months, I will definitely love to have you back".I started looking for a job for like 2-3 weeks and when I couldn't find one I filed for unemployment
Fast forward to today, I get a phone call from the unemployment office saying that when they contacted my former employer they told them I was fired for poor sales performance
..I was working there for over a year and I was always in the top 3 in sales everyday (Out of 8-10 sales people) So I told the lady my side of the story and what my manager said so let's hope they don't %#%@ me over.
Anybody have a similar experience with a previous employer? Does unemployment usually take your side or am I about to be involved in a 5 week period of sending 700 forms to the unemployment office? I'm
