does the workplace have to tell you that you are being fired? because i wasnt scheduled for two weeks in a row, then finally i went in and asked why and the manager simply replied "oh, thats because you were let go". i wasnt informed, i wasnt contated at all. it was a brand new store opening, so im assuming i was brought on just to help set up, but that was not expressed to me during the interview, and i even had cashier training.
is that right or legal? it just seems rude to me.
 
At the time of hire, were you employed as an "at will employee" meaning they could fire you without notice? Were you hired as a temporary or contract employee or permanent employee? Something doesn't sound right. If the business is not doing well and going into bankruptcy- by all means just start looking for another job. But if you want unemployment benefits, you send in your application right away.
