About 5 weeks ago I was given a written warning from my district manager this warning was triggered by a mystery shopper who had been in the store whilst I was installing a new computer for the reigster which is not in my position guidelines. She stated the warning as bad leadership skills and said I would be reviewed the next day on performance since then in total I have seen her once and worked with my manager 9 days because of an accident I had at work which caused two weeks off ii have now been back now 7 days on light duties and been issused a 2 warning for no improvement on my performance when I have eceeded budgets and done everything by the book. My district manager has asked me to quit before she has also touched on personal things with me to in her words to "break me" those attemps did not work so she is looking for anything to fire me. Is this right and is there anything I can do I feel I have little time as she is questioning me on minor things such as 3 minutes late from lunch

Whether its right or not, is subjective. But it doesn't sound like anything you can do anything about. You can try going over the manager's head and complaining, but I don't know how well that would fly.

There is nothing illegal going on here. Sounds like the manager working the system.

If you have truly done nothing wrong and feel you are being treated unfairly, then you should complain.

I don't know where you're from, but in the US you can file a complaint with the Department of Labor if you are treated unfairly or are dismissed without a real reason.

It is vital that you document everything... dates/times/what's said and done to support your case.

Here in the uk it's a similar proceedure:

1) verbal warning

2) written warning

3) your fired

You can however go to an appeals tribunal if you think you have been unjustly treated and will be allowed to put your case.

You will be expected to show evidence of your accusations... dates,times, witnesses in your defence.

At this point you are allowed to take a witness with you for moral support.

The case is then usually ajourned for 2 weeks, you are then recalled for the boards decision.

Most recently the employees that I know have won their case, so keep your chin up.
