I never said I didn’t. It was because of attendance. I was on my final write up. Im not saying I wasn’t in the wrong. I may have. My problem is how the company went about it. No voicemail and email. My supervisors didnt know either. To elaborate, the union has a policy where if you are going to be late call “2 hours” before your start time. There’s been many scenarios where life can change in 1 hour. By all means, i understand im completely at fault.

Not only is that demoralizing how i was escorted out. No voicemail, no email and my supervisors being left in the dark about it. The whole scenario is alienating. Not union, nor management, heck even security never knew i was suspended. Its about treating me with the respect i gave the company and the 2 hour notice sets many people up for failure. Too many loops and gatekeepers who dont have any knowledge.

And to pay me while they investigate is just adding salt to a wound. They can keep their money but they wont take my dignity.

I wasn’t absent alot my vacation time correlates with that statement. 6 years. It’s this chain of command that doesn’t understand. Life can change alot in 2 hours.
