Front Row Event Staffing FrePM, Front Row Fired After A Car Accident Port Charlotte Florida
Well to start off, Front Row is basically an employment agency.. That gets people's information off of shadowshopper.com. If that's wasn't a red flag, I don't know what was. To move on though, my wife was hired on as a Recruiter. A few days after she started working there, we were in a car accident. She took the brunt of the injury, and has had to take off three days out of the work week for physical therapy. At first her employers were very understanding, or seemed to be... But that apparently changed. Another red flag... they were considering hiring me on as well, and were very interested in doing so... at first. This changed as well, but one day while waiting out in the parking lot for her to get off, they asked me if I would like to start working, and it only goes downhill from there.
What happened next, happened very quickly. I started that night, and worked all of an hour & a half. With the promise that I would be back in the next morning with her, we left for the day. Got there all bright n' early the next morning, and worked half a day, then the trouble began. My wife was posting some ads on Linkedin, and Craigslist to bring in more people to do events, as she had been asked to do, when a young girl basically assualted her verbally. This girl said my wife was suppose to be on the phone, when she had not been instructed to be on the phone. I was dragged out of my office over to where she was, after bringing in quite a few leads already that day, and we were both asked why we weren't doing what we were suppose to do, and upon defending ourselves, were told to pack up, and go home for the day.
Now here's where it gets interesting; We then called to see what that was all about, and were told we were fired... OVER THE PHONE. I guess I had missed all the previous red flags, because that felt like a cheap shot from the popcorn gallery. My wife has never been fired from a job before in her life, and I haven't been since I was a teenager. Aside from the clear unproffesionalism, it seems they aren't planning to pay me for either day, and she's questionable on the last day as well. I find this to be a major breach of trust, and a clear show of how spineless people can be in the work place. If it wasn't obvious enough that they just wanted more reason to be rid of her all together, they dragged me into it.
Also, just in the 2 days I was there, I noticed that they had a habit of not paying the people they recruited to do their events. I heard that the business was going under, and got wind that they also had a habit of firing all but key people after a week or two of working IN the office. Training was scarce, and while my wife was accused of not doing her job, pretty much everyone else in the office seemed not to do much at all during the day. My best advice for anyone thinking of working either in their office, or doing an event for them... is to not. It's not worth the headache, or in my wife's position, heartache. Right now that's really all she can do for work, and to be booted for no good reason, is the worst thing anyone could have done to her right now.
