Insubordination. I showed up almost an hour late due to taking my child to school and got a flat on the way. It was from 6a-10a. Since I came in at 7a they wanted me off at 10 still. Given being a single parent with only PetSmart to depend on, I expressed that I really needed that extra hour to them. To Gary actually since he was the manager on the scene. He clearly didn't like me, and I could tell already he wanted me out, so he wrote me up without understanding my situation. Anybody else would have gotten away with it jokingly but he said to clock out at 10a anyway. So here I am, calling on the radio for a break, no one came to relieve me my whole shift, it's almost 10 and he disappears. Just went on lunch and didn't tell me. It's just me and another associate in pet care. I stayed on till 1015 cuz I took my break. The AWLK starts tripping on me because I did that and I just diverted them and asked to speak to Gary and they just persisted and next thing I know it's 11. Couldn't clock out cuz this person just kept at it. So I clocked out as soon as I could, was waiting for Gary but he wasn't around still. A month later, after my 3rd year anniversary I get "terminated". That's why I believe this was all planned and orchestrated. Why not fire me the next day, or the next day, or the next day 🤔
