What is the name of your state?
MICHIGAN
Can you believe it?
I typed all this in, and when I went to summit it a message that states THREAD CLOSED is what I got...so I cut and pasted this.
For people who MAY be concerned about this, I have made the entire situation public property when I posted in another section of this forum, it is too hard to start all over, yet maybe you might have heard......if not it can be found under "double jeopordy" a few weeks ago in the employment section.

You cannot even if you tried to forget my miserble exsistence, I am already without a job AGAIN!
I agreed to transfer to another location, and I did not even make 1 day or 1 hour before I lost the job. I went in after being without for a week, and I woke up scared and affriad of what others were going to say blah blah blah, but I stood tall and made it in the door, without crying!! And I met with the Assist. manager, and requested that I switch a day so that I may go have my taxes looked at, she said no problem there were actually too many people on the schdule as it was. She gave me a Friday for that day (Monday to compensate my hours) I shook her hand THANKED her time and again and literally skipped out the door thinking this IS going to work!!
Get this, the very next morning, I wake up and go to my car and the passenger door is open. I look to make sure there is no broken windows and nothing stolen and everything else seemed okay. I turn the ignition and NOTHING!! The lights from the car door being opened all night drained my battery! I do not have any reason to think I left it open, for I do not use the passenger door for NOTHING! SO this HAD to be intentional! I go into the house and call the GM, I have yet to meet my "new" manager and when I went in the day before she was not even expected in until 6 or so. I leave a message on the GM machine of my problem and await his call........NOTHING.
I figuire here we go, they are deliberetly sabbotaging my efforts to go to work. YES< I do consider this a personal attact. I did not call the police, this has nevver happened before, nothing was even stolen! So the next day I await to hear from the GM, NOTHING again. I call the station and the manager has already left for the day, I ask for her home number get it call it, and she told me she had talked to the GM and I havve been terminated.
I call the Headquarters and explain to Angie, that this is what happened and she now is accusing me of being a ex-employer with an axe to grind. As if all the issues I brought fouth were rumors. I explain to her that the allegations that I made were made long before I was termoinated, and if I knew to do follow company policy on how and to who to check into with I would have. I never met my manager, therefore I did not feel comfortable explaining to her that I feel as if I am being targeted. Nor, did I know you have to call somebody other then the man I had been dealing with to explain what was happening. I hadffered the GM to listen in on a call I was going to make with my manager so that he could hear that these allegations were not rumors but in fact REAL!
I took a recorder to my grievence meeting, and on tape I hear the GM say to me that my manager was to have gone over this so called employee manual with me and explained the things I was unaware of. That was one of the reasons she was finally fored. So on tape I have a GM, telling me that the manager failed to give me a copy of this handbook, and it was not my fault that I did not know to call in advance if I wanted time off. I had asked another employer to relieve me of my shift 1 hour early, the day before I was written up.
Yet, now I have the Headquarters telling me that since I did not comply to these policies when phoning in, I was terminated. I never got the freakin policy!!!!!
I know you know this was never going to end peacefully, yet I thought I could get in a few more months before goiving them a 2 weeks notice and returning to my life as a store owner.
So here I am, in worse shape then ever. Beth, I really cannot believe what is happening. Why, in the world would I consuult you as well as a Civil Rights lawyer about all this to just quit the job, before ever working one day? The civil lawyer, stated he could possibly get me the wages for the time I lost, yet I asked him not to, since I had to go back to work there, I would ask the GM myself, when the dust settled. I have since informed him of all that has taken place and have not heard from him.
Beth, am I crazy? How can a person that steals, misuses his power, sexually harasses and speaks nothing but trash and racial slurs, drink on the job still have a job, and I am without one? I did not know this policy he has had at least a year or more time on this job to know what not to do, if in the event common sense fails to tell him you do not grinned your penis up against a female employer which happens to be me, tell me that all I need is a good FU_K, he can make my Titties hard, physically bounce of my breast, call people that come in the store NIG%%ers, and he is better equip then them blackasses,etc....tells me what a CU&T my manager was/is, and tell another employer to smoke the Cocaine not in the backroom, but in the bathroom!! Make me givve him smokes he did not pay for, cash in coupons that he saves from the papers for cash...blame the employees that have come and gone for stealing smoikes in which just happen to be the smokes he smokes. They tried this on me already too. And more. I did not follow procedure and I am without a job? I never called in a sick day, I came in running at 5 in the morning to allow my manager to go home and get stoned. I even relieved my manager because she was so stoned she could not run the register.
What should I do? PLEASE do not tell me to go on...forget it, it is only a 7.00 job, for me it was so much more than that! It was my independence, my childrens food and clothes money, my store rent IT WAS MY WAY OF MAKING MY WRONGS RIGHT! I was not always so passionate about truth and justice, I have a passion deep in me to do the right thing. I cannot quit now. Beth, I am not failing to not say something nor am I exxagerratting. This is all so very true. I swear it is. PLEASE from one girl to another HELP ME PLEASE! I literally cried myself to sleep for two nights now, knowing I allowed that man to treat me like ****, to look me up and down as if I was nothing but a piece of flesh, because I needed money for my bills, I complained and it got me nowhere, I asked for help in resolving this situation, where nobody would have to loose their job, just have to respect one another for a few hours a day while we were in the same building together. To know he lost nothing, makes me so sick. What more could I have done? I might as well as sold my A$$ in a strip joint.
I am going to find out what laws I have to follow in order to pickett in front of the building...allowing others to know that this business allows Sexual Harassment, Drug use, Theif and racial slurs yet won't do a damn thing about it, except fire the one that exposes their errors to the community.
