I was given notice last Sunday. After I worked hard like crazy during Sunday Lunch I had a talk afterwards with my manager and was told that the job of a waitress does maybe not suit me and that I don't look happy - well... at least that was true.
The real reason is still not discovered ... If it was my not good enough english - according to my manager, me not following instructions - my agency, which I've never seen in the restaurant so how do they want to know?! .... or maybe too much stuff and not enough money... I truly don't care anymore. My escape has ended in a disaster.
I first had time till Sunday to leave the room, now I arranged for Wednesday.
Applied via internet for about 40 positions as a waitress some others as a housekeeper, team member or cashier.
Yesterday evening I found a page which offers AuPair positions so I have resortet now to my old plans and yesterday night I was so reassured because of this but in the morning, after I slept for only 5 hours, I was the same as the days before.
I also went into hotels and restaurants nearby and asked for jobs which proofed to be much more effective. Had a phone interview yesterday and are going to do a trial shift on Friday as well as an interview. Today I also had a interview at a bar which went pretty good but I'll need to rent my own room and they'll contact me again on Monday.
Tomorrow is a AuPair Interview which I hope will be good... because right now I think it would suit me better... but that always depends on the parents and I don't know much about the family I'm going to meet. So I'm a bit afraid. Have to travel a lot for all these interviews.
Now to my agency. I immediately called them on Monday morning. First the german office. First my supervisor was not there. Then he called me back. Was quite unfriendly and uncaring. Told me he can't do anything and I should try the office in the UK. Ok, so next UK. My UK supervisor was also not there but a very nice woman. She asked for the reason of my notice. I told her my English was not good enough - she answered that can't be, my English is very good and that she was going to call my manager and find out the real reason then she would contact me via e-mail, as well as a 'don't worry - we will find a solution' I was waiting the whole day for that e-mail even delayed my meeting with my (ex-)manager. At some point I just met up with her. In the evening I got a very unfriendly e-mail. I still had hope on Sunday but this e-mail really crushed me. He told me I had been warned constantly (...well I got one e-mail.. about that hotel work is a hard job) and now he wouldn't do anything, and I should just take this as a lection for my future. I was like .... ......... ..... angry? sad? pissed? felt humilated?!
My e-mail answer was according to my feelings. Today I finally got a answer from him I was prepared for anything but he wrote he might have the change to find one other job for me. But I'm not putting much hope into this. Still - the important thing I need is a room. I hope this Odyssee won't have a bad end.
