I ended up doing better in sales than anyone else including my boss who worked there full time the entire month (i had from like the 12th-21st off for exams) for the month of december and november despite me working about 25 hours a week.
May comes along and we discuss me possibly running my own store in the future and definatly working full time in the summer. He states that i am a valuable part of the company and that he respects me not only as an employee, but as a friend. I leave after my last exam of the winter semester to go to Cuba for a week (he knew about this in March). Come back to find out i no longer had shifts at work, i wasnt allowed in the back room at all when i came in on the days i didnt work... no respect, no loyalty. I continually called him that month asking for shifts or if he needed help, i offered to take a pay cut if the business was suffering.. nothing.
I called him a month later and he says "I think you are no longer an employee here" Basically my boss fired me and didnt tell me, didnt talk to me about why, didnt even mention to me.. i had to call him.
That day i lost all and total respect for these kinds of employers, i vowed that i would never work in retail again, I need to be surrounded by motivated people who want to move forward and make money and give the company natural progression.
IMO it only takes once for a company to piss off its employees or treat them with disrespect and the company will be hard pressed to earn back that respect.

Dude, that's a harsh burn. At least all Retail places stick together, and will therefore feel the loss of your services.
Seriously, how do you get fired without being told??? I've heard of quitting without notice, but being fired?
