Just got fired for being sick!
I was hired as store manager for a smartstyle salon. I spent the better part of 3 weeks cleaning store top to bottom! Dust bunnies on every shelf,black dust coming out all ceiling vents, mouse droppings from last summer! Back room products scattered everywhere. I organzied to make inventory easy etc. Now mind you I BARELY get sick! Lil colds once in awile, after about 3 weeks of working there I got a terrible flu! High fevers for 3 days!Never been so sick. Although I called my area supervisor almost daily, had the store covered w/employees I missed several days of work. I called my supervisor & left many messages on her home office phone, cell phone, & last resort text messaging her. I finally called her boss the regional director. I let her know I had a dr.note & when I would be able to return. She (my boss) called me stating she never got my messages & only found out I was sick from her boss. That is a out right lie & I have phone records to prove it! She stated that a dr. note does not excuse a absence & I was fired! I begged for my job & told her I would never fake being sick & I know she got all of my messages but was upset that I went above her head! She speaks to people very disrespectfully & should have saw a red flag when she called me to come in that day for my practicle interview & waited for her for over 30 min & she never showed or called or apologized! She's a bitter mean girl & I don't understand why this is happening! She has even belittled other stylist in front of customers! Made her cry! Saying that she did a terrible haircut! She has no class or ettiquite! She's always late & Im IN SHOCK I LOST MY JOB FOR BEING SICK! I CAN PROVE I WAS SICK & PROVE I CALLED HER SEVERAL TIMES! I have a iPhone that keeps track of calls & text messages... Is this legal?
