So, I am seeking a little knowledge tonight.
My girlfriend works from some VERY wealthy people, taking care of 4 horses.
She came home from visiting me, and they told her that they no longer needed her, and that was the end of that, no warning, nothing. Just said they decided to go with someone else. Which I totally understand! No hard feelings, she moves on.
Well, back up about 4 months, she had hurt her foot really bad, and missed 2 weeks of work. The Wife insisted, and I mean like forced, a pay check to her for both weeks, giving her the $200 she would have normally made.
My girlfriend wanted nothing to do with this, and confronted the wife several times, to the point of which the wife got really quite belligerent one night, and told her that it is just a gift because they care so much about her, and she was insulting them by not cashing the check. My girlfriend dropped it at that point, and cashed both checks.
After she was back to work, she offered several times to work off the money she had been given, and they wouldn't hear anything of it. So she dropped it again.
Now 3 weeks after they abruptly fired her, they mailed her a bill for $400! Girlfriend called and asked what was going on, and the Wife got nasty with her, and said that she owed them the money they had given her! Girlfriend politely tells her that now she is out of work, and hasn't been making money anywhere, and is barely scraping by to go to college (which is completely true!). And the wife told her, "well figure it out".
She doesn't have the money, and hasn't been able to find a job willing to work around her school hours. Now I am in this rut. Girlfriend is really upset, doesn't know what to do, and is afraid if she doesn't pay them she is going to end up in court. Do I contact this woman and make out a check? What would any of you do in this situation? Thanks
