About to in to losing my job of 16 years.

Edit to title: About to go into work losing my job. Edit: Throwaway account for reasons. Work at Costco and I’m 100% sure I’m getting let go today. I’ve been suspended two times this year for attendance and once for tardiness (less than 10 minutes late three times). The last two got sent up to corporate to decide on my termination, and both times they vetoed it. Manager said I was on my “last shot, make it count.” Then went and changed my availability/off days so I had to work extra hard/longer than I’m used to, which led to me over exerting myself and getting sick. Our sick policy is decent, but if don’t have sick time you’re fucked. Had enough to cover half my shift on Monday, but Tuesday I still felt like shit and was supposed to work that day as well as Wednesday so I called off…

Work at Costco and I’m 100% sure I’m getting let go today. I’ve been suspended two times this year for attendance and once for tardiness (less than 10 minutes late three times). The last two got sent up to corporate to decide on my termination, and both times they vetoed it. Manager said I was on my “last shot, make it count.” Then went and changed my availability/off days so I had to work extra hard/longer than I’m used to, which led to me over exerting myself and getting sick. Our sick policy is decent, but if don’t have sick time you’re fucked. Had enough to cover half my shift on Monday, but Tuesday I still felt like shit and was supposed to work that day as well as Wednesday so I called off again (back-to-back days counts as one instance), knowing full well that it would mean my termination. Had Thursday/Friday off so today is when I’m due back. I’m kinda freaked but mainly kind of calm about the whole thing. I hate the job and it’s been killing me for years. Only got the job because my dad made me have one while I lived with him, and it was a great gig for someone in their 20s. I’m only in my 30s now but my body is a wreck and my mental state is in shambles. Don’t really know what the purpose of this post is. Been wanting to quit but I’ve been on this sub a while now and it seemed like consensus was, “Don’t quit, get fired.” So I did it. Fuck Costco. Fuck that building. Fuck you especially, Will.
