I had just returned home from a deployment to Iraq three months prior, and this was my first employer in returning home.  I started with them as occasional/seasonal, so as far as I know I can do nothing, but tell my story.  I started in October, and the first month everything went well.  

Around Black Friday, my hours started to change a lot, which is understandable.  However, I live an hour away from this Best Buy.  So, that's 2 hours of driving when I got there and find I was taken off the schedule for that day.  Also, I was told I was "no call/no show" a couple of days, without being notified of my needing to be there.  This would change literally from day to day, so in the end, I just called my supervisor every 2-3 days that I had off, from that point forward, to make sure that didn't happen again.  I had spoken with him about this, and that was the solution.  Then in December, the week of Christmas, I was told that there weren't any hours for me to have.  During this time, I would go there occasionally to purchase items, only to see other occasional/seasonal employees working there.  I continued calling my supervisor for about a month, only to end up with no hours. 

I asked continuously if I was fired, or if I had done anything wrong.  I was told that I was still employed, and that there just weren't any hours, and I was at the bottom of the totem pole to receive any.  After a month of no work, I went to the manager whom did one of two of my interviews.  She said she knew nothing about this, nor why this would happen.  This job was one I really wanted, and loved since I really enjoy helping others with problems on computers.  However, at this point I was so dismayed that I lacked interest in pursuing the matter, nor do I wish to work with this company again.  Even McDonald's can pick up a phone and notify you of schedule changes.  I was never notified of any change in my schedule by this company.  Picking up a phone apparently is asking too much.  I even had a 90-day review which I was told I passed with flying colors.  So, they couldn't tell me I was doing anything wrong, even when repeatedly asked.  I can't believe a company would do this to someone, especially someone whom recently returned from service...
