hi! so i want to say i am new to this forum and love learning from everyone! quick background: i am young (21) and financially independent and the perfect person to take advantage of in that sense. so here is what happened. i worked for a company for nearly 2 years. i had to transfer due to unforeseen circumstances and have worked at my (now ex) recent location the past few months. management, standards, all of it was different and it was a bit of an adjustment to be sure. now my new manager and i didn't get along too well. in fact they have had many problems with past employee's for their treatment and behaviour. this was fine enough until their actions became more frequent and frustrating to handle. recently i finally blew my top and i accidentally broke property. it was truly not intentional and i felt horrible and fully expected to have to pay damages. flash forward to next work day where i already had a scheduled meeting with my manager. there i am told our original meeting is to be rescheduled and instead am made to write a “statement”. However I wanted to apologize as regardless of my frustration I never should have let it affect my coworkers (i was sent home after breaking equipment) or ability to function. Important to add I do have documented history of at times severe mental illness(currently rehabilitated and okay). I disclosed this information to my company when hired and disclosed it to my manager during this brief meeting. I shared I had been unmedicated + on a medication that is known for causing mood bursts, and had gotten back on medication and regular psychiatric meetings. I did not use this as an excuse I merely wanted to share insight into my reaction in hopes we could have an honest discussion. it seemed to go well, i finished out my shift afterwards with no issue, we never discussed the specific problems going on between us as I figured we would have our longer meeting sometime soon. Wellllll next work day I just feel in my gut something is up. I see my manager and a fellow manager in the store, I then greet both and put my stuff in the back. I am then asked by my manager to come “have a chat”. Moral is I got fired, here's the kickers for me, I was fired very obviously in front of my whole team and customers in the middle of the floor. It was humiliating to say the least as I felt all eyes on me. This especially hurt as where the manager's had previously been seating was still in the open but at least a little more to the side, they purposely moved all of their things to that center table to fire me. Another issue, my manager and entire team explicitly know I do not have transportation without my ride being fully notified, I was given no notice to tell my ride to stay back and after being dismissed had to awkwardly/shamefully wait outside. And I really do not think it's as simple as “oh they forgot” as my whole schedule is based around keeping my ride in mind that my manager and i had discussed multiple times. On top of this I have never had a write up in my near 2 years of employment, this was my first incident. Now to tie in my mental health, I was cited as being “violent” which is already a common misconception with the mental illness I have. I clearly had no intention of harming anyone, and never have harmed anyone. There was no discussion on anything I was just fired. I have some more quick snippets to add if people have questions and I'm sorry if this is too vague. Anyways my family, a few coworkers, and friends think I have a case on my hands here, just wondering what other's think. All the best!!
