This is weird, has anybody dealt with a situation like this? Not sure how to proceed, or to just forget it and move on.
I have/had a side job doing receiving and AP for a grocery store for the past 3 years. Every Saturday for 12 hours, like clock work. I had a review two months ago and it was glowing. This past Saturday, I came into work and somebody else came in and told me he was there to do my job. Confused I checked my email and nothing. Checked the schedule and I was not on it and he was, though when I was last in I was scheduled to be there, so it was changed. I am on none of the future schedules, so I figured I must have been fired. But no word from my boss or the company as to why or even that I was fired and no attempt to contact them has succeeded. My discount card still works though even though it should be shut off automatically if terminated and I still have my keys (which open any door in the place).
Should I just say F-it and move on at this point or should I continue to try to figure out what happened?
Honestly, this sounds sarcastic, but I'd probably do the same. Fuck them.

Because as stated, I can't reach my boss. She is only there when I am at my regular job and won't take or return my calls.
There has to be a manager on when you are working, go speak with them, put them on the spot and make them figure it out.

Just go in and get paid to do nothing. That will get their attention.

2. enter the store at a time that few if any workers will be present.
3. carefully select pallets/boxes that are of great monetary value.
4. urinate all over said pallets/boxes of product until they are saturated.
5. repeat step 4 as necessary.
6. wait for the call from your boss the following day.

that was how they fired people - just took them off the schedule with zero communication. passive aggressiveness at its finest. place was run by a bunch of pussies
when stores have 400-500 employees thats how they do things
take them off the schedule means youre done
If I were you I would send certified letters to your immediate supervisor and company human resources departement asking to be notified of your status. If you have an email address for any of the above, or anyone else that you can think of, send them emails as well. In your letters and or emails I would notify the Employer that since you are no longer on the schedule you will be applying for unemployment benefits.
Keep your appraisal as the Employer might try to say that you were terminated for cause when you apply for benefits. It would not suprise me if they say that they were forced to switch your schedule to hours that you work another job, so you abandoned your job with them. If they try that argument inform unemplyment that you were constructively discharged.
I'm not sure about the suggestion that you come to work, punch in and do nothing. That seems like it might create some liability on your part,especially if you work pursuant to a posted schedule.
I'm curious as to what is going on. Post when you figure it out.
LOL
Maybe they're fucking or something.
I know in my business you get walked out the door and all accounts locked/shutdown. A pissed off ex-IT-employee can do a tremendous amount of damage depending on the type of access they have.
And yes, please post what you find out why.

bullshit. tell somebody. and this is a restaurant with ~employees.
Especially if you can apply for unemployment benefits, create a paper trail. I agree with the suggestion of certified letters. Make copies of everything. If you even know someone who has a notary public license, get them to stamp your originals and your copies. This is all to prove your attempts to find out your job status in case they try to claim abandonment.
Finally, consult with an employment lawyer. The HR department already said they can't terminate you for performance, so this passive-aggressive tactic of taking you off the schedule until you just quit has to violate something. If it does, have the lawyer draft a letter to the company, and send it to the manager, HR department, and regional office. That will get things moving again, almost guaranteed.
If they start to ask questions, that opens the door in case there was some mixup.
If they say OK, just say, 'BTW, I was never officially notified
so could you/someone please tell me why I apparently have been terminated?'. And ask for a copy of your peronnel folder(at least the part re: the review).
Follow through; you've already been anal-yzed by them.
In CT you could, at least when my Dad and I had a restaurant, we fired a bartender who was part time and had another job and she filed and got unemployment.
they will tell you to document everything, reach out the employer and then get back in touch with them for further advice (if any)
Also, since I am not terminated, I may call one of them and get a new spot. Easy work, decent money and 20% discount on food. I am not just going to let that get away if I don't have to.
I'll get you all an update when/if I hear anything, but tonight I am going to work the phones to find a new position.
Thank you all for the advice.

Hmm, I didn't see that you said she would not take your calls. Actually I still don't see that except in your reply... lol. Well that's pretty effed up anyway. Not sure what I would do except try to wait for her there one day/evening and see her face to face.
Yes
Congrats
I got an email from her after that conversation it seems, reminding me that proper protocol is to inform her if I intend to transfer. So I replied with all the emails I sent trying to contact her, plus the ones sent to HR to inquire about what happened and a list of dates and times of phone calls made to reach her and who I spoke to. I CC'd HR on that email.
If she was pissed off at him enough for something he did then she would have been singing like a bird regardless and wouldn't have asked the guy if it would change his mind about taking him on his team either way.
To me it sounds like she's just a cunt

It sounds like if the reason could have affected you getting the transfer, she would have spilled the beans. I don't think, in her mind, it was anything that would have helped you at all.

Yeah, I get the feeling when HR gets all the emails and list of phone calls that she did not return, she'll have some explaining to do.

So... did she reply?
The whole thing seems bizarre.
