Illegal termination, with perks, so to speak
What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
I believe that i was wrongfully terminated, and I do know that an employer can do that whenever they please. My question is this: A week before I was let go from the position, I was the assistant manager of a retail store. I had found out that the manager was taking items from the store, many things, without paying for them. She had told me on two seperate occasions, that i could take stuff home too, that it was no big deal. WRONG! It is a big deal, its theft! While i was getting reprimanded from the district manager for things that the manager was making up, I asked him the policy on that whole issue. He agreed with me that it was theft, and he would look into it with her. I walked out of the office, she walked in. A few minutes later, he called me back in. She denied that she took them, said that she had paid for the items. And he told me, in front of her, that he stands behind his managers. Ok, I let it go. The next day, I found out from another co-worker, that the manager had been sending things home with her as well as other employees. I told her how wrong this all was...and then we contacted the employee hotline and reported all of it. They have done nothing about it....and its still happening. Later that next week, I was let go for giving too many discounts in one day. Yes, I know that they can let me go for whatever they want. All I want, is for her to get in trouble for everything that is walking out the door, unpaid for....
I must add that since this woman took over the managers position, she fjired a girl in april, me in august, let a yougn girl go last month, and basically made another girl walk out two weeks ago...said that she was sexually harrassing another employees husband. which never, ever occured. this other employess husband, cannot work there, but is there everyday, doing things...hes a known drug dealer, gang-banger the works. so now this other girl is out of a job....
Any advice anyone????
