The Things I Got Fired For

The crappy part was not being allowed to get my stuff, clear out my desk, or finishing my shift. My crew thought I had just gone to get packets. They were left wondering for almost two hours.

I got pulled in the HR managers office with my OPS manager - which didn't care for me much and was one of the main players in my demise. Then she proceeded to let me know what a loser of a manager I was - even though I was blowing the numbers out of the roof. My crew was amazing and was performing 100 times better than the weekday crew. Anyway, the reasons they gave me were: I didn't show up for the morning managers meeting (I couldn't leave the dock because I had no one to cover), I didn't come in at 5 when a few associates came in early to start early ( I let my OPS know and I had a sub-supervisor to cover), I didn't fill out a temp stamp (which no one has ever gotten written up for that one), I supposedly made a receiving error but they couldn't find the proof and other associates have used my login when they don't have one, I had a packet on my desk that was a dry backhaul (I worked perishable) the should have been done by the crew the day before, but I was responsible because somehow it ended up on my desk, and a safety procedure an associate violated that I was told I would not be held for.

Was I fuming - yes

I sure hope your supervisors had documentation to back up all the crappy reasons they fired you for.
My daughter lost a job almost four years ago and they gave her a bunch of crappy reasons also. Because they could not back anythng up with documentation she was able to collect unemployment for almost four months. It helped until she could find another job.
