Fired? Could I get rehired?
19/f. Back in June I got terminated from Captain D's. My General Manager called me on my off day and told me that she didn't want to let me go, but John (our area director at that time) told her she had too, because I supposively got two costumer complaints in one week. Charlotte (GM) said that these complaints could not be proven to be true, thats why she was so upset. The next day I went to return my uniform; and she cried. She said, "You couldn't give me time to let it sink in?" She also told me that when she came in to open the store, she noticed an email John had sent her; it was a compliment from a customer talking about how sweet, and nice I was; how i always got her order right. Charlotte said if that compliment would have came before termination, I would still have my job.
I loved my job. I was damn good at it too. Not sounding cocky, but up front I was always the leader. John quit his job as area director, and now we have a new guy that Charlotte says is a lot more nicer than John ever was.
I was wondering, since I got fired, and it was by John, and my General Manager didn't want to let me go, could I get rehired?
Do you know what I could do, to see if I could? Idk who to talk to or anything.
Charlotte says, if she ever sees an application with my name on it, she'd hire me back, and make me come in as soon as she sees it.
It's been 6 months, what do you guys think? Should I talk to Bob (new area director) or what?
PS. When I lost my job, Charlotte told me to call Human Resources, and I did. She took my side of the story, and told me she'd talk to John; John of course declined, and told me that I was denied for my job again.

Anything is worth a try so I see no reason not to go ahead and submit an application. If your GM is being truthful with you, you should get the job you like back. If you interview with the new area manager make sure he knows of the compliment that your GM received after you were terminated.
Most people will right a letter of complaint faster than they will a compliment. A letter of complaint to my mind represents on persons views and should be taken in context of what they say and the job you are doing. Meaning I see you are a server, should the complaint be that service was slow. Was the service during a rush hour? If so it may not have been you, it may have been the kitchen was backed up. This has to be taken into consideration when viewing a complaint.
John should have investigated the complaints before acting on them. Also two complaints in the same week for a good employee, could they have been from the same party? Did John investigate this. You could have complained to wage and hours board for wrongful termination. The wage and hour board would have asked these same questions of him. You may still be able to ask the wage and hour board to investigate your termination if you are not rehired.
On the other hand a letter of complement represent seven or more people, this is a knowledgeable fact to management, as we as a society are very slow to write such letters. We may say something nice to you or even to the manger, if we see him or her, about you. That's is about the extent most people will go to compliment someone in the service industry.
Your rehire may also depend on the corporation's policy towards rehiring terminated personnel. Some company's have specific policies against this. As I said in the beginning; if your GM is telling you to submit an application you have nothing to loose by doing so.
