Ask Community about Hawaii Attorney General

11-14-2020 I Augustina Dahilig, I had been referred me to Riza the manager at Jeans warehouse at the mall. As she is currently my sister in law Kaitlyn Garthe’s Boss.

Riza messaged Michelle on March 07, 2020 in regards to interviewing me on March 08, 2020 around 3pm. During the time while I was filling out my application Riza and Vangie was interviewing me at the same time. She told me she would contact me, Riza contacted me to start on Monday but, do to my employer at Hilton I had to put my 2 weeks in and could not guarantee I would be there Monday at 2pm, She told me during our conversation to come in on Wed at 2pm, I turned in my Resignation at Hilton And quit the same day I had to be at Jeans Warehouse. When I went to Jeans WareHouse, My mother in law walked in with me, While she looked around in the store, I stood by the desk waiting for Vangie to get off the phone, As I was going to help the cashier She than hung the phone and stated Vangie- “oh, Riza didn’t call you?” Me- No?!

Vangie- (speaking Out loud) Ohh, She was supposed to call you, because due to the Covid we don’t know if the mall (agana shopping Center) will be closing. So we couldn’t hire you. Me- Ohh No she never called me. (I looked back at (mother in law) Michelle, as she walked in our direction to converse with Vangie regarding my hire, she looked at her phone to see if she missed a call from Riza but no Facebook Message, call, text, or voicemail was made) Michelle than began to talk to Vangie to reconfirm why I wasn’t able to start that day.

so I was making massive attempts to reach out to them including their corporate office. But, there was never a Response. Later on within months Riza told a mutual friend that she (Riza) would like to hire me at Agana location and to give her a call, when I called Riza it was only to tell me that I did not qualify for unemployment because I never filled out the proper paper work but i know i did. When I was rereading the qualifications it stated about being commence to work.

I called asking what it meant by “commence” to work. The agent that I was speaking to when I called 311 She said it was a date given to start. I was given by Riza the date and time to start, and when I arrived was told by Vangie, that due to the Covid we don’t know if the mall (agana shopping Center) will be closing. So we couldn’t hire you.

. Riza and Vangie has given me the run arounds in regards to who to contact at this point of time. Around the Beginning of May 2020 is when I officially became Homeless, as I claimed that on my file with HireGuam Because I could not afford to pay my rent, my mother had to book my ticket as soon as all the airports were clear and open to fly through to make it to Mississippi. I left Guam in mid-October as my previous employer wanted to take me back.

I am currently a residence here, and I am currently employed. Sincerely
