What is the name of your state? TEXAS
--> I notified my employer in April of 2004 that I would be leaving and submitted a 2 week notice. I was a good employee and they let me know that frequently. They didn't want me to leave so they offered me better hours and a (small) raise to stay on part-time. After a few days I notified them that it just wasn't going to work out and I could only handle school full-time. While they couldn't argue with me wanting to finish school, they seemed bitter. It turns out they were. I have graduated now and a potential employer let me know that when he checked my references my former boss (a 75 year old lady) told him that while yes, I was eligible for rehire, she wouldn't hire me because I didn't give enough notice. I gave a 2 weeks notice. What more can they expect? He told me that employers are only allowed to answer if I am eligible for rehire or not and when did I work there. He said that she was not supposed to go on and on about why she wouldn't actually rehire me. (Maybe it's because I didn't keep in touch with her - who knows) Did she break any type of law? I don't want to sue them or anything, but is there anything that I can do. I wound up not getting that job or another job and I was perfectly qualified for both. I have a good feeling that this is why. What can I do? She needs to know this is wrong. Even when I interviewed with her she asked me all about my religion and where I go to church. I should have known that they were not very ethical.
Please help! Thanks!
PS - I think I'm going to take her off of my resume.
