Well not for me my gf. My girlfriend works for a day care where she took 5 approved vaction days this place is a church day care. She came back and was replaced, but not fired. Meaning she is know a floater with 8-10 hours a week compared to 40 hours a week. When she came back written was a three page paper of how much better the other person was with the toddlers then my gf. My gf simply explained that three years of working with toddlers here pooping, peeing, potty training, punching, kicking, slapping, and bitting has occured and that a person filling in one week of good service doesnt mean that person will keep that performance up day in and day out. Then she said no one can. Then she said i love my kids they love me, but sometimes the job wears on you and thats what i thought vacation was for. 3 page paper and she doesnt hit beat molest or anything to the kids. I think im going to set up a tort action of flight light or deflamation. What do you think

  1. Your GF definitely got jerked around, and should find somewhere more respectful to work. If there's any legal action you can take it will be in the form of full-time workers having certain rights. One of them may be how many hours a full-time person is supposed to get, and how much notice they are supposed to get if that changes. I'd do a quick search of the labor laws of your region yourself before paying a lawyer. Even if there is legal action to take, it will cost you money and all you'll get in return is a feeling of vindication.


  2. Don't waste money on an attorney -- there's no illegality here.  

    They found someone better (even if they only perceive she's better) and so they have the right to replace your girlfriend.  If she's smart, she'll simply start looking for another job.  Don't spend time on this, let it go and move on.

    Besides, there are better employers out there who value dependability and dedication.

  3. First have your GF talk to the local labor office before you spend money on an attorney
