Direct response
As I have already let everyone know in the business I have an engagement party to attend today. Therefore, I couldn’t possibly have agreed to a shift today, because I can’t! so, this is my response to his email, in case he goes “well, you didn’t tell me” and considered me as walked out of his business, claiming then that I never had the intention to work out my full 2 weeks’.
Dear Mr X,
You would find, in accordance to the Collective Agreement 2006-2011, I have stated on the 6th of November of my intention to attend some friends’ engagement party on Saturday the 22nd of November, which is this today. This was both in verbal attention to Mr J and Mr L who were both in charge of setting up rosters for floor staffs, and in a written note that you will find in the rosters’ folder. As such, the roster has never included the 22nd of November and does not have me written up at 4 p.m as my next shift after Friday, which held a split shift starting at 11a.m.
As your email is dated at and time stamped at approximately 9 p.m the 21st of November, you have failed to give me the 24 hours notice required for me to be able to work at 4p.m on Saturday the 22nd of November.
Therefore, I am unable to change my plans and therefore there is no failure to turn up for work on the 22nd of November when there was no advance notice given for me to be able to change my plans.
As for the rest of my plans with regards to your business, H Pty Ltd, I will advice you further when I am done with my friends’ engagement party as this is not an issue I want to carry in my head while celebrating someone’s happiness.
On a further note, please refrain from calling me on my personal contact number. Due to your email to me, I am no longer willing to entertain off the records conversations with you directly.
Thank you
I am writing these as it happens so if anything happens to me legally, i won’t forget. please forgive me if you find these extremely intruding and boring
