I would like to say that i have never been fired from a job since starting full time work in 1986. I have 10 plus years foreman experience. I have worked for Acklie for 8 years and was a foreman for 5 years. I was terminated for glueing a nickle to the floor, Screwing a pop bottle to a table and stupid stuff like that. I did admit to it but i also stated it hadn't happened in 2 or more years and that i had already been talked to about it. I was turned in by 2 personal friends of the shop managers years after it had happened. The shop manager was was retireing and put in for his retirement the morning of the day i was fired and never stuck up for me even though i had been doing his job plkus mine for the last 2 years. They closed the shop 3 weeks after my termination. I was fired without a verbal or written notice.
They not only damage my work record but they messed me out of a months severance pay. I have a written statement from the foreman before me who was demoted for basically the samething i was fired for. He was demoted with out a pay decrease. A week before i was terminated our terminal manager beat up a driver in the parking lot and never got fired. It states in company hand book which i do have that anyone in a phyical altercatio will be terminated. The driver got fired and he never took a swing. The terminal manager admitted to me that he didn't remember much of it because he just freaked out. I was questioned about this in my termination right directly after the terminal manager was told by H. R that it was done and over with and that they weren't going to speak with him about it. I can go all day.
