Holiday Inn

I was employed by the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites from 12/07/2011 through 03/04/2012. I was a front desk clerk and also the night auditor. To my knowledge my job duties were being performed correctly, I asked on several occasions just to be sure. Everything was going good. Shortly after hiring me, the owner left the country for a month and I was getting 40 hours per week with no problem, the owner comes back at the middle of February and cuts my hours down and gives them to a guy who, while the owner was gone was put under suspension for a no-call, no-show. Which according to their policies was to be an automatic termination. Once the owner came back, the kid under suspension was brought back and got the hours I was previously getting prior to the owner's return. I came down with bronchitis at the end of February and missed two days of work(the only time I had missed since starting). Had good attendance and worked overtime on several occasions, and came in on my days off to cover for other employees.
On April 1, 2012 the owner Vyom Patel text me at 9:30am wanting to know if I would work 3rd shift that night because the kid who was getting all my hours(Alec- not sure of his last name) had called off. I had missed two days that week due to bronchitis and so after talking to my husband, I decided I would work, I was out paying bills so I stopped by the hotel to let the owner Vyom Patel know that I would indeed work. Around 12:45pm that same afternoon, I got a text from Amy Pierce(she was hired in after me to bring up the hotel scores). She text me telling me that I did not have to come in that night after all, that Alec had decided to come in and for me to go out and enjoy my day and not go home and sleep. So I went on about my day, and around 7:00pm Amy text me back wanting to know if I could come in and work on short notice that Alec had called off again. I had not slept or ate and was still not feeling all that good from the bronchitis so I told her that I could not come in. Well, that was an obvious mistake because that is when all my problems started. The next day, Amy Pierce called me around 2pm and I know she called me off for the night because she wanted to train someone due to them finally firing Alec. I double checked with her and asked her, "So, I don't need to come in tonight, correct and she said yes, so I did not go in. The next afternoon I called just to make sure that I was suppose to work that night, just in case they needed to do more training. Vyom Patel the owner, was very mean to me and told me that I was not working that night because I was suppose to have worked the night before. I told him that Amy had called me off and he was quick to defend her saying that he was standing there when she called me and that was not what she said. I told him that She called me off, I said if nothing else it was a complete misunderstanding. Told him that I did not want to lose my job. He told me that he was going to leave it up to Amy and that I was to come in on Sunday night March 4, 2012 and they would let me know then what they had decided because I was considered a no-call, no-show. So I went for my shift on Sunday night and I was told not to clock in that I had been fired for a no-call, no-show. I right away asked how that was fair seeing that Alec got to keep his job for the same exact thing, I was told by Amy Peirce that she was not here when Alec missed or he would have been fired because she did not tolerate no-call, no shows. I was also told that I was making mistakes on the night audit that where never brought to my attention and I had asked on several occasions, how I was doing. I was told once that there was a couple of things that needed worked on but that I would be retrained. I asked her, if that was the case, why was something not said to me, and why was I not retrained like she said I would be. I also asked her why, on the night that I was suppose to work, why no one bothered to call and see why I was not there for my shift. I always had to call my replacements if they were not there on time to take over. She had no reply. But, I had complained about my hours being cut and so why would I not go in if I had the chance to work. I was told by Amy to not come in on Friday April 2, 2012 because they wanted to train someone to replace Alec right away. I was told to come in on Saturday night. But, the story quickly got changed so they could get rid of me. They fired everyone who had started with me or before me, that or forced them to quit. I have never worked in such a dirty hotel, never had supplies you needed, customer complaints for housekeeping and the front desk where terrible, the turnover rate is huge. I had maybe two days of training when I started, then I taught myself, everything else, but, never had any mistakes brought to my attention until that night. The owner is bringing in family members and family members of Amy Peirce's to take our jobs. The hotel would not pass a inspection if they had to. Like I said, management is something to be desired. Kinda make up rules as they go along.
