Hi!
I've worked for (retail store) for 6 years. I started in 2005 at a (retail store) in Florida, then transfer to a (retail store) in New Jersey around 2007 and stood there for the remainder of the time as a CSS/CSM(Customer Service Manager).
I am married with 2 boys. My wife and me worked at the same store, up until she decided she wanted to join the military services. She went two basic and AIT(military school) on march of 2012 and was projected to not come back around november of 2012. (Retail store) gave her the 5 year deal were she can hold (retail store) for 5 years, meanwhile serving the military(to not loose her job status if she decided to come back). I started doing the single parent roll and it took me a month to realize I couldn't. I decided to talk to the store manager about the situation explaining that I will need time off and if needed, I could go back as regular associate so they can hire/move another associate to the CSM position. All I wanted is to maintain the job status with (retail store) so I could transfer when the military assigned my wife and us to a base, I could continue working with (retail store). After I had that chat with the store manager, he said he needed time to think. Five days pass by from our little meeting and I receive by mail a termination letter(which is a first for me). I was really bum about the situation but had no choice but to claim un-employment. They open a case and started recording my info and told me to send in the Termination letter that (retail store) gave me because after they finished with me, they were getting (retail store) version and decide what un-employment was going to do. I get called 3 days after that I got denied because (retail store) told them I Quit my job. I was like: well!, did you guys received the fax about the prove that (retail store) indeed fired me? And un-employment started closing the doors from that point forward. Everything that I asked unemployment told me they can't disclose any information since the decision was already made.
I am in WOW! mode after this happen. I didn't proceed to investigate further more because I was going to relocate to another state and didn't know what to do from that point on.
