I was terminated two weeks ago after working at the nearby Target DC for just over four years. I loved the job and was very good at it. Top three when it came to meeting production. Unfortunately, we had a horrible OM who came in two years into my tenure. She played favorites and had it in for certain people, myself included, for no good reason. We had a survey where everyone gave her bad marks. Nothing changed. Another survey was even instigated later on by a TM who had a relative in HR. Again, nothing changed.
I have many examples and remember all the details of my personal harassment as well as a few others. She also lied to me during my yearly review. I asked how many CAs I had, she said one. Turns out, I had two, so I was surprised when I got fired. I thought it ridiculous that I get fired for attendance when I only missed two overtime days. Before that, she had told me my prior miss would fall off in 30 days, which this was well after. The other two CA's were for minor safety violations back in March/April (one handed toss, letting go of a hand scanner wrong). I was there every day for my actual shift, never would VLE, didn't use my sick time like crazy to leave early like everyone else and, at the time of termination, had 60+ hours of vacation time I had built up.
Since I loved the actual job and most of my co-workers, I'd love to go back. Even more irritating is that a friend and current TM told me she heard the OM is leaving next month. I called HR to try and find out if I was blacklisted. She said they don't have that info there, but I could reapply. I asked how long I have to wait to reapply and she said I could do so immediately. I was under the impression I had to wait a certain amount of time to reapply? So, I've been left even more confused. Of course, I will, at the very least, wait to reapply once I get confirmation of her departure. But if anyone can perhaps give me a little more clarity, I'd appreciate it.
