HELP!!! Taken off schedule at work, but never fired!!?

I started working at a restaurant in NYC about 6 months ago. I started out as a hostess and did well. The manager actually told me I was the best hostess he鈥檚 ever seen. Fast-forward to 5 weeks ago after some little issues with a couple servers the last months, my manager told me that because it was so slow he didn鈥檛 need a host for about two weeks. I come in a week later to pick up my check and another girl is hosting there. I ask him about it and he tell me she鈥檚 only training for the other restaurant (that hasn鈥檛 opened yet). He then tells me that the owners fired some people but he鈥檒l call me the first week of September, whether it was good or bad. It鈥檚 now the 17th and I haven鈥檛 heard from him. Can I do anything about this??



Up until the last two weeks I worked there, I was off the books and paid in cash unless I was serving.HELP!!! Taken off schedule at work, but never fired!!?
Jobs may have been a dime a dozen 5 years ago but at present that is certainly not the case. I do agree that you should talk with your manager and tell him that you are interested in continuing working. Bring up the issue with the servers and assure him that there won't be any such problems in the future.HELP!!! Taken off schedule at work, but never fired!!?

Yikes. That's awful! I would give him a call or stop into the restaurant and speak with him. Try to explain that you would really like to get back to work, if at all possible. If that doesn't work- I would start looking for a new job. There a dime a dozen...
