I recently worked as a receptionist at a salon in Massachusetts. Approximately one month ago I had heard annonymously that the owner had a friend who needed a job. On December 1st I was given a Christmas bonus and was told how wonderful I was etc...On December 3rd I was called into the office and told that I was being put on probabtion for 30 days for several booking mistakes I had made! Most of which I had not! The owner told me that she had interviewed many beautiful girls and had decided on me anyway and was disappointed I had made mistakes. You need to understand that these minor errors were commited 6 weeks prior to my probation. I asked her if there were any other problems and she replied "no". Then comes December 26th...I am fired before the probation period id up with not a single mistake made! I confronted her with the fact that I knew she had hired someone else. She admitted it and told me she had no intentions of keeping me even after I was put on probation. Now here's the big problem,,, this woman told several clients before I was fired that she was firing me because I made mistakes and MONEY WAS MISSING!!! I never took a red cent from her or her business. That was never even an issue! As a matter of fact she always lauded my honesty as I would make sure everyone got their tips and my drawer always balanced. I am totally sickened by this malicious lie! What type of recourse do I have if any? Thanks in advance.
