I was hired by company initials "P" under the conditions that my computer meet their specifications. I was told my computer met their specification and then offered employment. I accepted. Their technicians worked on my computer for 2 weeks straight and installed faulty software, and then I was told my system would not meet their specifications and I needed to have my computer XP deleted and reinstalled or buy a new computer. I had my computer checked out and was told my computer was absolutely fine and nothing is wrong with any component on my computer. I worked for 2 weeks without pay with their technicians and then their company's software technicians and watched as they logged onto my computer and deleted and reinstalled my registry. I informed them my computer was deemed in great condition and that it turns out their software has an error. They gave me the run around for days and each email I begged for another account to work and asked them to supply with the information their techs deleted from my system. They gave me the run around and stated it was my computer. I asked them to restore my computer to its orginal state, so I can see if is my computer and to give me another account that did not require that system. They refused to say yes or no, but said I must have a telephone meeting with them and said if I do not, they would assume, I resigned my position. I have asked and begged for work for two weeks and kept every email. Per their phone conversation, they tried to say they did not do anything on my computer. I asked if they were terminating me, and she said due to my bad behavior and unwillingness to work for them, they were terminating my employment. I asked for this in writing, as in every email I sent and saved, I begged for work on another account, I told them my computer was in good working condition, and it was deemed their softwared, I asked to be switched to another account, and they threatened me into a phone meeting and said due to my bad behavior and unwillingness to work for them, they were firing me. Let's all laugh together at this one. I was not paid for any time waiting for work, nor the 6 days they spent hours working on my computer. I think I am calling the labor board also.
