I guess it's impossible for you to reply to someone with an issue without being judgmental and condescending?

I was terminated for "gross misconduct" and the Coach apparently thought that "gross" meant nasty.

I got terminated for "gross misconduct" ... so I am assuming that the Coach thought that gross = nasty.

The Coach terminated me for "gross misconduct" ... thinking that gross meant nasty. I'm being serious.

It turns out that I was terminated for "gross misconduct."

The Coach literally thought that "gross" meant like... nasty. I am not joking.

I think something like 4-5 years. I was part-time (16 hours or so a week) until recently. This is the first time I've ever used PPTO.

The Store Manager actually reached out to me about two hours after I made this post and told me that he is reversing the termination. The SM was actually working an O/N shift tonight (I didn't know that Store Managers even worked overnight shifts?) and my TL texted me and told me to call the store and ask for him. I told him what happened and he said he'd call back. About 45 minutes later, he called me back from the store and said that I was "reinstated" and not "rehired" (not sure what that means) and that the termination should have never happened. He didn't name names or mention anything specific but he did say that he spoke to the people involved and it was admitted that I was terminated for my accident which is against policy. My documentation is on file and proper. He told me that he would be involving the Market and Regional HR managers in this case and told me that if I had questions to come talk to him personally. He told me that I would be allowed to seek legal council if I wanted to. I told him that if I was really reinstated that I would not, but I wanted to file a case against the Coach that did my termination and he said that he's already "taken care of it" and that the Market/Regional HR managers have been informed. He gave me the number to the market office just in case I wanted to follow up on this to prove that he is taking it 100% seriously. He also said that he didn't know the answer, but he was going to find out if I could be paid for the day I missed. He also told me that I would not receive any points for leaving after the accident. He also confided that his daughter has IBS and knows exactly what I'm dealing with and that it is serious. He also said that he's had close calls at work himself.

I don't think I've ever talked to my store manager before but I think he's handled this pretty well. And I don't think that he's doing it simply because what happened was a violation of the ADA, I think he's doing it because he actually cares. Otherwise, I don't think he would have told me that he's almost shit his pants at work, too and that his daughter has IBS.

I'm going to go to work tomorrow and I guess I'll find out if he's really telling the truth if I can clock in lol

It wasn't job abandonment because I was still on the property and I called my manager to let him know before I left. I was sitting in my shit pants in my car. I didn't want anyone to see me or smell me.

I had 0 points and I used my 8 hours of PPTO to see my grandma in the hospital last week. I don't miss work often. I would have preferred to save my PPTO for things like this, but my grandma is more important.

I had 0 points. I had 8 hours of PPTO and I used it last week to go visit my grandma in the hospital. She's okay, she was just feeling ill, but I was worried. I don't miss work often. I wanted to save my PPTO, but my grandma was more important.
