Walgreens
Fired for no apparent reason

I'd been working for Walgreens as an assistant manager for about six weeks, and I was fired out of the blue. I had asked my fellow assistant managers and the store manager for feedback on my performance, and I wasn't given any negative feedback in the preceeding weeks. The only comment that was made by the store manager was that I needed to get faster at counting the safe.

One day I came into work, and was fired with no concrete reason given. The manager gave me some song and dance about not being qualified enough for the position - but before I was hired, I went on 3 interviews!!! Somebody couldn't have figured it out BEFORE I left my former job for Walgreens??? I attempted to contact the district manager several times to ask exactly why I was fired, but never received a response.

The day before I was fired, loss prevention was there. So I'm wondering if I was framed as a thief by the store manager or the other assistant managers. I had never counted the safe, deposits, etc. Without another manager being present, so there was never even an opportunity to steal. Now I have a big, fat TERMINATED on my employment record because of Walgreens. Try getting a decent job after that.
