I was denied benefits from a job I was working at for a year. I was let go because of many reasons but the final straw was a customer pissing off the owner by threatening to sue. And since I was working with the a manager and the customer I was the one fired. The customer got the killer deal on a product that the company got for free anyway and after it sat in a case for more than 2 months they managed to sell it for $200. All profit. The whole store was going under and no body was getting sales. We were tracked by sales no matter what they said and were pressured to upsale any computer sale with RAM, Anti-Virus and services.
That isn't a surprise and normal for most businesses. But after a year of service I know why they would write me up for sneezing, not making goal or anything they could. So if I was ever fired and filed for unemployment benefits they could show that everything has been papered to death and I could get screwed out of benefits.
I don't want them to be honest but after looking around for work for and running low on money I was doing everything I could to get somemore money including selling some of my prized property. They screw over the customer daily former employee's I don't know why I should be treated any differently. So here I am bitching hoping that I can prevent them from screwing over anyone else that might fall for their sales pitch.
Now I need to go to an appeals court and try to convince them that any writeups that were done in the last few days of work when they were making a hostile work environment hoping I would quit instead. Was just in case they had to fire me and pay unemployment. With the turnover that this company has I am not surprised that they know how to game the system and get their way.
I'm just in a hard spot and while I said I wouldn't do anything to screw them over in the future I was assuming that they would do the same. I should never assume.
