I was security for a retirement center (housing) Over the Rainbow Corporation in Freeport, IL. I was actually hired by JEM Detective Services which had placed an ad on Craigslist.com. That should have been my first clue. After having worked there for a while, it came to my attention that the other officer had just quit coming to work. I called Dave up and let him know. A day or two later Dave called me and told me they were going to be looking for another person.
I am going to the local college there in town and I told 2 or 3 people about the opening. They ended up hiring a girl I referred. After she was hired they let me go. When the other person had been missing, before they hired someone else, I had been covering shifts that they knew did not match my schedule. One night instead of driving an hour home sleeping a few hours and driving an hour back - I slept at work / over night; Granted I knew I wasn't supposed to, but I figured they'd understand because they knew I was covering hours I couldn't typically work.
My wrong! They fired me and when they called me into work to do the paperwork - they conveniently forgot to give me my last check. I asked him if he would mail it - he said, "Yeah - ok". It is now 3 months later and I still haven't received it even after countless texts and phone calls!
