I didn’t got to the team builder outing because my wife and daughter are both sick, would rather tend to them instead of a 3 hour kiss a-s festival. My area manager and director of sales showed up today and walked me out. Do I have any way to fight this? I make $72k Salary so I’m just trying to get my job back.

Im 100% sure it has nothing to do with prior attendance and poor job performance. No way
I kind of doubt it had anything to do with skipping a team building event. More to the story for sure.
What were your real performance issues?
Thats what happens when you don’t got to the team builders meeting and your boss’s is a married female couple.
How would a supervisor have been able to defend less than 24 or 40 hours in the office whether the employee was required to be in the office 3 days or 5 days? The supervisor should have also been terminated in each case
Critical thinking isn't your strong suit eh?
Most COR store managers and their bosses are shady and dishonest, so the more fired the merrier.
@aw no one advocating those who didnot work 8 hr or 40 hrs. someone worked 8 hrs or more based on their work requirement from any where and supervisors knew that they are working late nights, still they didn’t support them, that is wrong.
It’s just weird that I get fired after telling my supervisor that I won’t make it in person, didn’t send a text email or call or vm & this area manager & director of sales are a married female couple. The hypocrisy is crazy I thought that was a no no for a couple to be running the same ship so to speak. Idk we’ll see what happens.
There were many people who were in agreement with their supervisor due to their work nature where they use to work outside office hours. Still those supervisors didn’t defend when this less than 3 hours office presence came to them. And problem was AT&T never mentioned how many hours need to be in office. But still they terminated employees under cobc. Forget about this company. Move forward.
Just move on and find something else. Thats about all you can do.
Uniform application is part of discipline. Not showing up is an attendance issue, but not calling in and reporting that you can't show up is misconduct. If you can show that other employees don't have to call in, then you might have a case. In this era of cellphones, you should have called in.
Other issues would be appraisal, letters of warning, etc. Seniority also matters. A 30 year employee would be given more deference than, say, a 5 year employee.
I am certain if the ethnicity of all the parties and team members were known, things would get a lot clearer.
So you were fired for failure to notify that you were not going? Did you let them know you were not going or just not show up? Not showing up is a no call no show and justified termination….
The OP is full of sh-t. Fired for not attending team builder and supporting Trump? There was a serious performance issue obviously.
Good. You should be fired for supporting the biggest con artist in the world.
Reason being was “failure to give notice of a non-appearance” in my separation letter. I should point out they didn’t like me because I’m pro Trump and had some disagreements with these two managers before especially after Kamala lost BIGLY.
That's no way to build a team.
This is like the terminated employees claiming they were working 5x8 but really only regularly in the office for a couple hours. You need to be honest with yourself.
Come on, you didn’t get fired because you didn’t go to a team builder, probably the excuse you’re using to hide the shame. What was the reason provided? If it was that sudden I’m thinking some COBC violation.
You would need to consult an attorney, but most of them will tell you it is unlikely to be worth it. If your L2 and L3 want you gone it does not matter what you do, they will get you eventually. Look at it as a blessing and go work for the competition. They are all better companies. At least retail store management is a transferrable skill.
