Exactly what the title says. A little backstory, I have lived with my aunt for 6 years now. She is my main support system and we have been working together to pay the bills for the house we live at. I’ve been at this job for a over a year, and 3 months ago they began to implement these asinine rules about completing checklist forms. Simple checklist about the tasks we must do. I’ll admit I have a crap memory and would forget to do the forms sometimes. However I never made any mistakes as far as completing the work on the forms. Just forgetting to fill out the forms themselves every now and then. But again these would never impact anyone and made no difference to the amount/quality of the work getting done. 2 weeks leading up to my firing, I was hardly getting hours and I was begging my bosses for extra work. I am very open about my financial and home struggles. Fast forward to now and my aunt was diagnosed with end stage liver failure Friday. She was given 2 year prognosis in the event she cannot receive a liver transplant. Now Ill have to pick up where she is unable to, since her condition keeps her bedridden and unable to work. I told my bosses about this and that I would need a day to come to terms with her diagnosis, so I took a sick day to spend time with her in the hospital. Monday, on Halloween, they decided to fire me on the grounds of an incomplete checklist, after a month of no mistakes. Took my entire livelihood away at the drop of a dime when they are aware of my family’s situation. Just opened my eyes even more to how these jobs/companies don’t care about us. I thought, this being a smaller business, they would be understanding, perhaps even give me time to find other work before cutting ties. But they don’t care about us, they care about money. Funny how we, as employees, are expected to give 2 weeks notice when we quit as curtesy. Meanwhile companies can throw us out anytime like garbage, regardless of the impact and consequences it may have. Now I know, don’t give any company the benefit of the doubt, look after you and your needs.
