Re: Harrah\'s fires best dealer for not working overtime
 

Devo,

Why would they be looking to fire part time dealers if they were short staffed?

Beats me, I asked the same question myself. He was full-time though - just seasonal for the series.

I know who you're talking about and I agree - best dealer I've had at the series and it wasn't close. He was very fast dealing, shipping pots, getting action going, etc. and that's really a shame if he was actually fired.

This makes absolutely no sense and is yet another reason to hate Harrah's.

i dont really care about the ethics so much as the (complete lack of) logic that is so standard for harrahs. "MAN WE REALLY NEED MORE DEALERS AND MORE HOURS...YOURE FIRED".

So last night he says to me, "I just got fired." The reason: He couldn't work overtime. His shift had just ended and the D/C asked him to stay on longer and work overtime. He said he can't becuase he works at the Wynn in 90 minutes and wants to get some food. They then say, "You're fired."

I see nothing wrong with this. Is the problem that he is your friend, or the, "best dealer?" He tells his supervisor that he will not work O/T because he has to eat so he can be ready to work for the competition.

There is usually more to these stories then what the fired person puts out there so I am not going to crucify Harrah's for this. As it reads they had a good reason to let him go.

I think if he went to the local paper and talked to a reporter about this, he could get the story out.

LOL. Sissy Spacek can play him in the film adaptation of the story.

One point here that I didn't see mentioned.

I'm sure that Harrahs knew FULL well when they hired him on, that he worked elsewhere as a regular job. Plus, if he did tell them (prior to being hired) that he was (only) working for Harrahs on the side, and his other job came first, then Harrahs had not business demanding him to work OT in the first place.

Because the guy running HR for the WSOP likes firing people for sh&t's and giggles. Some of you are too much.

Oh, here is their new HR Director.

See the earlier posts re. OT and dealers in general. He knew OT may be a possibility and when he said he was not going to work OT he had to have known he was probably going to be dismissed.

Is he the one who always had a wierd look on his face and got all the cards out to a 9 handed omaha table in like 5 seconds? He also announced every action in a really weird drawn out voice that made me laugh every time.
