my fiance has recently been fired from a large corporation for what they say were "gross acts of misconduct". he has a long standing record in retail management and has never had a complaint or a write up in his 8 yr history. he has been with this new comp. (as a manager in training) for 14 months and has been transfered in and out of 4 stores for training purposes, again with no problems. (at the new store for 3-4 months) when he arrived at this current location he was written up 5 times for minor to major things (one being the color of his shoes, which were up to code!, being 5 min late for a meeting when he said he would be 5 min late!, violating cash handeling policy, which he didnt! it was hear say, so crazy manager says)and then fired, all of which he disagreed with and were just plain incorrect or grossly exaggerated. he requested to move from this store 3-4 times thru his d.m. and his partner rep. to no avail. ( through one written letter and 2 or so phone calls). he feels he was being harrassed and wanted to move locations givin he had never had any problems with any other manager. i am in no way saying that this manager of this store was racist but he was the only minority in this store and got transfered in, which she didnt seem happy about. from all those in the store she had never hired a minority. she could also have felt threatened by his management skills as many employees complained to him about her. unfortunatly my fiance did not see this coming and was trying to transfer out quietly and trying not to cause a big stir. obviously in this case more aggressive action should have been taken on his part (ie.. demanding to be moved versus asking, and filling complaints on HER!) we have now been denied unemployment( for "gross misconduct" naturally, we are in appeal!) and are looking for advice! thanks
