REPEAT THREAD! IGNORE!

Right, before ya read, this ain't some crappy relationship thread! haha

Anyway, I just found out that my manager at McDonalds not only said I can't transfer to another mcdonalds for more hours, but also told them I was a shit employee and they shouldn't take me because he recieves complains from other shift managers about me because of my work, and seeming lack of training.

Not only have I never been trained, the only way I know to do anything is from watching other people do things, but get yelled at when I do anything remotely wrong.

So my mum, unfortunately, went storming in to yell at him, as he isn't allowed to say bad things about me, and he gave her bullshit that I've been fully trained etc, and that I'm never doing any work when he sees me etc. This is coming from the manager who never sees me work or anything.


ANYWAY, is he allowed to give me a bad reference?

I think he is allowed by law sure, but I think it's best to report him to the higher up, possibly explaining your situation.

Unfortunately, labor laws most often will side with the employer rather than the employee. If you truly are a good employee and he's making up all these things, your best bet would be to seek out another job. Plenty of places will hire someone with experience.

Be sure if you leave to do so in good fashion. No walking out in the middle of your shift in a huff. Find a job and then give 2 weeks notice. Chances are they'll release you outright, but if you give notice it will leave a positive impression both on current and future employees that you're not the type to shirk responsibility.

I worked at Mickey D's in high school and it was pretty horrible. If things are getting rough it may be time to try out Burger King mate.
