heh a girlfriend of an employee can't get that employee fired by what she said. She'd have to do something like call him at work all the time, etc. Particularly at a retail store like that.
that'd be one hell of a lawsuit if he had fired him because of that.
trust me, if i could have fired people and used their gf/bf as an excuse, there would have been a LOT more turnover at the pet store...

yeah good of him to stand up for you, and terrible for you to put him in that position. Sorry, I don't find your actions much above those of his boss. Besides the part about you being a woman, I think most boss's would have said the same thing. It wasn't your job, they weren't your hours to work. It's something you should have talked about at home
That was what you said back to him after you said your boyfriend couldn't work those hours. directly to him or not, it was loud enough that he could hear it.
Yes he was wrong in saying he needed to teach his girlfriend his place because he doesn't let women talk to him like that. This isn't the 1850's. But at the same time your boyfriend works at his job. his hours are set by his boss. If you have a problem with his hours, you should take them up with your BF, not with his boss while you are at the store shopping.
How do you know why or how those hours were given to him. Maybe someone was on vacation, maybe he was making him aware of the hours early, maybe the hours weren't to be posted for another 2-3 days and he was giving him a heads up that there was a change in his hours from normal.
He had no business saying that to you, and IMO you had no right saying anything at all to his boss about his hours or how he runs his department. It's not his boss's or exboss's fault that you are his ride. in 99% of the jobs out there how you get to work is not the responsibility of the man in charge, it is the responsibility of the employee.
and every worker will complain about how things are fun, every trainer complains how others train, every dr complains of anothers diagnosis, every carpenter complains about the electrician or the plumber and they in turn complain about their boss or the contractor. It doesn't give their SO's the right to start telling others how to do their job because of some complaining they heard.
sorry I don't see this as rah rah, good for you. I think you should be proud that your BF would stick up for you. Now put this into a different scenerio, He was up for a promotion, not hourly crap pay, but salary 40-50-60K a year as a supervisor, but had to work earlier hours. but you didn't know, and neither did he yet. I would think before I speak next time.
His manager was wrong by saying what he did, but I don't think you're so innocent in the situation.

B
I AM proud. Why would I post this if I wasn't? And I didn't say it was a "rah rah good for me" thing, I never said I was right to say what I did. I also know that had I not stuck up for myself, Aaron would have asked why I didn't. It is not his job to have to defend me all the time, I have a mouth and a brain and can use them. He wouldn't have put in his two weeks notice if he did not have another job already. If what happened yesterday hadn't happened, he would have put it in today. Khalid has been told numerous times, and can't get it through his thick skull, that Aaron is not, and will never be, available for the morning shift.
