Dollar General terminated no reason giving Mentor Ohio
I have been employed by dollar general in mentor ohio for about 4 months now. I was a lead sales associate and had the job of preparing the deposits and pretty much what the assistant could do. There was a deposit that was short 22.50 and i was confronted about and told"your not in trouble and your not goin to be written up you just need to be more careful with the money" this coming from the manager. I went to work the following two days, nothing was said about it again. I went to work today 01/05/2009 walked back to the office and the manager asked my"did you clocki" i said no she said"go clock in and come back there" i did go back there and immediately she asked for my keys and i said why? she said"the deposits was short and this is company policy. While she fired me she did not take me in the office privately she fired in front of customers,another employee and it was quit embarrising for me. There was no indication of the termination i have never been written up for anything, i keep the store recoverd constantly i Have numerous customers that come in to just shop with me. I do my job good the D.M. loves me. Meanwhile theres three other girls includin the manager that do not do there jobs, always calling off, constantly there drawers are short, one girl gets atleast 2 complaint a week for attitude at the cah register. This was a slap in the face did not see it coming just moved and my income is vital to my family. If anybody has been in the samr situation as me please respond I have contacted a lawyer and i have a very good case for severance pay.

You might check and see if Ohio is a right to work state. If it is a right to work state then they can fire you for any reason they wish. They could fire you for not liking blondes. They could fire you for wearing orange shoes. Only federally protected discrimination is a reason they cannot fire you. Your deposit was short, that's why they fired you. They didnt need to establish a series of write ups. You may be able to get unemployment over it though, so I would get on that ASAP. You may get lucky and they won't fight your unemployment

Whistleblower terminated after 8 yrs. & denied unemployment

OMG! I feel so stupid now after reading all of the similar 'unwarranted termination' stories here. And I thought mine was an isolated case just because the mgr. was covering for her best friend (the asst. mgr.) Jokes on me! I've worked for $ Gen. for 8 yrs. part-time. I LOVED my job and especially my CUSTOMERS, many of whom were elderly. They would go on & on about how helpful, courteous, & happy I was. I was never late. I never called in sick. I worked my @#* off. I was never short on my register. I was there longer than any of the managers, assistant mgrs., district mgrs., regional managers., & of course all other cashiers. I reported a serious company violation of policy (by a supervisor) to my manager. The next time I came to work (Feb. 2009) I was mysteriously 'short' on my register & was "suspended' until the DM checked things out. I spoke with him 3 times to arrange a meeting but he was too busy. I filed for unemployment & was denied - due to "misconduct", "cash shortages, willful & wanton disregard for my duties & obligations..." & other accusations that are straight out lies. I am angered, hurt, & astonished. I've called the STARS hotline, district asset protection, & a field mgr. - to no avail. The next step is the Dept. Director of AP, Wage & Labor Board, Dept. of Professional Business Regulations, & an atty. Am I missing anybody? This is direct violation of the 'Whistleblower' laws. I don't think $ Gen. is excused from this law. I given 8 loyal, hardworking, HONEST yrs. to this job I LOVED. Not only am I out of an income, but they've made it impossible for me to be hired anywhere else, even if jobs WERE plentiful. I read $ General's SEC Report that came out 4-21-09. Apparently several 'exempt waged 'employees are filing class action lawsuits. I'm tenacious, suppose a 'wrongful termination' class action lawsuit is in order. I hope BRANDY from Willoughby, Ohio reads this. There must be many more out there like us who have been slapped in the face for years of faithful service. I must remain anonymous until after all appeals & filings are in order, so for now I guess I'll be known as whistleblower (which by the way, was regarding a drug transaction at the store & Workers Comp. fraud - & yes I have personal knowledge of this & witnesses sworn under oath). PLEASE REPLY
