Hi. A week ago, i was fired from my job. I was a waitress at a local restaurant and on that day dealt with some difficult customers, i also had a rough week plus being pregnant with raging hormones didn't help either.
As i was saying ,some customers were very rude to me and that made me very upset but i didn't show it to them. After all, it's part of working in customer service. However, that day was different for me. I started feeling dizzy and hyperventilating and went up to my manager and told her that i had to go away for a bit ,sit down and get myself together because i wasn't feeling well. She did not say a word to me and i went into a separate room and sat there for about 15 to 20 minutes which didn't help me feel better. I was crying and went up to her again and told her that i couldn't do it anymore ,i wasn't up for working that day anymore and that it wouldn't do anyone any good if i stayed. Again, all this was beyond my control, i just couldn't help myself. So i left thinking that i might get into a little trouble over it but i wasn't going to jeopardize my baby's health or mine. I just needed to step away that day. So i did.
The next day i was told that i was fired because i walked out of my job without any notice. Apparently, my manager had told that to the Food and Beverage director at the company. I believe i should have been given a chance to at least explain myself to someone, instead i wasn't. This is my issue and please if anyone could give me any advice or tell me if i'm being unreasonable here. Thank you!
