[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 321029, member: 1514"] That boss wouldnt be named Dobbs would it? I swear, back in early 90's I was trying to find a job and I went through the unemployment office. They called me one day and told me an employer read my application and wanted to interview me. I went to their office and spoke with them. He immediately offered me the job and asked me if I could start working that afternoon to "see how I would do." Well my kids were in elementary school, so I said I could work until the bus got home but I would have to leave then to go meet them at home because I hadnt arranged any after school care. He wasnt happy but allowed me to go. He wanted me to come in the next two days. I arranged a sitter for those two days. On the last day, he told me he didnt think I would work out because I had kids. OK....well...when would I get my check for the 2 and a half days? Oh...I wasnt getting a check...that had all been my INTERVIEW!!!! I was livid. I had paid a lady to watch my kids so I could go to this jerks place and I wasnt getting paid? Oh heck no! I went down to unemployment to complain and found out that what he did was actually illegal but because I had no way of proving he made me work because I didnt clock in or sign in I had no case. He was a scammer. They did refuse to take him on as a client again. [/QUOTE]
