ULPT Request: Boss of two years, a friend, who I dedicated everything I had to, dropped me out of the blue.

I worked as a chef at a restaurant for 2 years. For most of this time I gave her all I had. I worked 40-60 hours weeks, with my shifts beginning at 4am and running long through the day.

I worked illegally long shifts like 18 hours on my partners birthday, or 16 hours on Christmas day, beginning at 11pm Christmas Eve.

I did this all willingly. She was my friend. I was hers.

I don't want to involve lawyers, I don't want to sue her or anything, but I was her best worker ever, she'd even said so, but because i am quitting (gave her 3+ month notice), and couldn't work a shift on a day she explicitly told me not to work, she fired me.

The plan was for me, after Christmas break, to work January, then leave February. We had discussed this, she had agreed.

Suddenly she doesn't send me the roster, and refuses to give me shifts, and acts like a total bitch, really mistreating me.

I am so cut, she is so petty that because I'm planning on leaving she tried to ruin my whole livelyhood, and won't give me a reference despite me being her best worker for years and devoting everything to her.

So, what can your devious minds come up with. How can I get back at someone for doing this to me.
