On may 25 while unloading a truck at 34 weeks pregnant with twins i slipped and fell resulting in an injury to my right leg. Well i could not walk much less finish unloading the truck. With myself being the store manager i had no other choice but to contact my district manager. Who had the nerve to tell me that i was a liabilty to the store and that regardless of the injury i could not hold the store responsible. She mase it sound like if i went to the doctor on my own while i was suppose to be at work she would fire me. She told me that i needed to think about the store and since i was a liability i should go ahead and take my medical leave.
Well like i explained to her the doctor said i was having a healthy pregnancy and that i was fine to continue to work full time.
Well on june 2 loss prevention came into my store and said that i was allowing employees to work off the clock. Meaning that i would have someone follow me to the bank after closing to make deposits which i was trained to do so. And by having employees who was scheduled to work truck wait until the truck arrived to clock in which i was also trained to do. Those were things that was taught to me as an hourly employee. There was one incident that an employee failed to clock in and i forgot to key in his time but i did e-mail payroll so that he would be paid for his time. Sounds to me like they were fishing for any excuse to get rid off me since thet felt like i was a liability. It should have fell back on them for poor training but of course the rich never blame theirself. Especially when they are at fault.
