Laid off

Remember how I wasn't terribly worried about finding a new job?  Yesterday I got a crude awakening via text.  The owner of the business where I work decided to lay me off, citing slow business.

Through a text message.

That misspelled my name.

6 hours before my shift started.

When I called back, to ask questions, he screened my call and sent it to voicemail, listened to the message and then would text back.

I'm not really sad to not work there anymore - it was a dead-end job, with terrible hours, where the better manager had just been let go/quit, and the owner has no respect for his employees.  I was looking around for something before this, but the way in which the situation was handled was really hurtful.  I really just want to find him and tell him to grow up.
