My partner was fired today from their job (Home Depot). It was an attendance related issue, they had a nc/ns a couple months ago due to some personal issues and received a first and final. However, during the write up process the manager told them that the nc/ns was separate from regular missed attendance and as such they would only be terminated if they repeated the nc/ns.
The big issue comes that my partner called out last week, had a reason that should have been excused as there was no way they could have made it to work. But because they called out and had the first and final from the nc/ns they were fired today despite what they were previously told by a manager regarding the write up.
Anything that we can do? I'm not sure that unemployment is an option do to the nature of the termination. My partners obviously gonna start the job search up again, but in the meantime can anything be done about them being mislead?
