i think it's bullshit, and i woulda told my boss that, and just like that. see from what i read, it makes it sound like she quit, and now she wants to come back, it'd be one thing if she took a leave of absense, then wanted her job back, hell they even have to give it back in some states or they can catch shit, but to me it sounds like she quit. which is why this is bullshit in my opinion, you shouldn't have been given the oppurtunity to be pushed outta your job and take another one, she should have been given the oppurtunity to take that job [the one you were offered] or go find somewhere else.

i'd take this to court, because to me it 'seems' like the manager knows the girl, maybe even friends or fucking her, and pushed you out of a job just to give it to her, which i do believe is illegal. i know you're probably not going to do it, because to you it seems like 'just a job' but i'd def. call up a lawyer and find out what can be done...

but then again, maybe jobs aren't that hard to find there, but here we have hundreds of thousands of illegals and a big ass chunk of katrina evacuee's taking all the jobs up, it's damn hard to find a job here no matter how qualified you are...
