I worked/work at big coffee corporation. I've been stealing bottled water every shift I worked for a couple of months. My manager called me in (her manager was also in the room) and asked me if I had been doing so. I was told never to lie and that good things will always come.... so I didn't. I told them I knew that I was stealing and that I only did it for a month. (I just shorten the time frame cause I got scared). They told me on the spot that it is considered theft and that I signed the paperwork the day I got hired. They told me that they would investigate and contact me on Monday.
Couple of days pass and I come into my next shift. I talk to my manager and I thank her for everything she did (cause she was still nice to me) and all I say is "Well we know where this is going." and she finishes it off with a nod and saying yea you're going to be terminated. Today is Monday and they never contacted me, so I called them. My manager picks up and I ask what's going to happen and she tells me to come in Thursday for the paperwork. I then ask if I was obligated to come in for my shift the day before. She said no because all my shifts were covered. I then ask that if that really meant I was terminated. She then agreed after some badgering that I just need to sign the termination paperwork that day.
So what is confusing is that my boyfriend's father was in management and told me that if I were to qualify for unemployment, that I must not sign the form that has me acknowledge for the reasons I'm being terminated and that I'm not obligated to sign that paper. That all I need to sign is the termination papers and that's it.
Is this true?
