Wrongfully fired

[u/Low-Review-4728]

I had got the job at my store in September 2022 and was working there till July of 2026. I had always done as told and was trying to work up to shift leader for 2 years straight. I was constantly asking why I wasn’t getting it and management always avoided the questions until they told me that the carpal tunnel I got in 2025 DUE to them having me scoop custard basically every day has made all the progress from before no longer count. After that I had looked into getting i different job due to the discrimination (I wasn’t having any luck) my brothers who I worked with had even messaged the GM saying how I was being treated was extremely unfair in which he responded by telling my brother that it was none of his business and if he had a problem with it then he should quit. After this I began having panic attacks at work nearly every shift. Then during one of my shifts the MOD had put my best friend outside on a tablet to take orders in the 96 degree weather for a hour straight. When she came inside she was visibly unwell to the point where it interrupted my break and I ran to get her a drink. The managers present had brushed her off and just told her to stand in the freezer. I went into the back with her while still in my break and she was left completely alone. She was pale weak and shaking and eventually passed out in my arms with management nowhere to be seen. I had to scream at other coworkers to get someone. When the MOD came into the back she was still playing off everything off and saying that it’s “policy” to keep people outside for a hour straight. She seemed to only care about herself and didn’t ask my friend if she was ok a single time. Seeing my friend being treated so horribly sent me into a panic attack and I began calling her out for treating her poorly. Instead of her taking responsibility on the situation she instead told me to go outside into POD when I was still visibly in distress from the whole situation. Where I very respectfully said “I can’t do that right now”. Especially with the fact my friend was still on the floor now awake but still shaking and unwell. I ended up telling them that I’d like to go home and have them send my friend home too. Which they luckily complied with. Later that night I was then texted to by the GM and he accused me of being profane to the managers (I never said a single word of profanity) and that I was refusing to listen, and then proceeded to fire me over text. He never once asked for my side of the story and went with whatever the manager told him when she is a known liar. This job had caused an unhealthy amount of stress to the point where I began loosing hair towards the end of it and began having stress caused migraines. I couldn’t believe the fact that they would care so little for one of their most loyal employees who was with them for nearly 4 years and fire them over text like it was nothing. We had even contacted the owners over these issues and was completely ignored. If anyone else has or is dealing with this kind of mistreatment I know how it feels.
