I put my 2 weeks

Here to tell you what lead up to this.

So it all starts with my sons mother getting fired at walmart. To clarify we're not together. Not only did she get fired, she got an eviction notice shortly after. She then decides to call the Childrens Bureau and throws the ultimate curveball and says she wants to sign her rights away and was seeing if they could take my son. Fast forward 5 months, I win full custody.

I had my son weekends only due to that I work 2 jobs. What i didnt know was my son had autism. So i interview sitters, lots of sitters, none of them feel comfortable watching him. Np i understand. Ik the daycares wont be an option due to that as well. Now that leaves me to go on an LOA until i figure everything out. So after 9 months, i get him diagnosed, aids, support, into a new school, a 2nd insurance, aba classes, therapy & 2 transitional case managers but no sitters after 23 interviews. At this point i have to ask for an extension on my leave. I call sedgwick and proceed to find out that I've been terminated...

I call the store to see wtf is going on. (BTW my bosses leads and all knew about everything going on. I was very open to them and my coworkers.) So HR says that's it there's nothing they can do. Fear of losing my job and wondering what the children's bureau might think of this after I got custody I kinda panicked and lied and said I can come back to work right now if you would give me another chance. They agree.

I ask to go down to PT so I can help my son with the therapy and the appointments. At this time I'm in the process of getting a caretaker set up thru his insurance so I can get back to work FT. I let my STORE MANAGER know that I'm gonna need some days off. Now yes alot of those days I needed were in December. I didn't have anyone to watch him during his school break. They denied my days that ask after knowing everything that was going on.

I was hurt about this. I've busted my ass for Sam. I was in the juice aisle on night shift for over 2yrs. I've clocked 55hr work weeks, came in when leads did, and stayed even after my leads and coaches left due to how understaffed we were at my store. Not one write up at all...

I'm sad bc transitioning to daylight from nightshift was like going home to your wife and her having a 3rd and 4th chick waiting for a 4some. It was too good to be true. No gaslighting, no harassing, no arguing, or lying. It was amazing but I didn't want to go to another job with 'I GoT fired At mY LaSt JoB' so I put my 2 weeks in back in December.

Ik I'm kinda late writing this but I just wanted to remind everyone who you're working for and I pray that your stores are not run like mine and that none of you ever have to face what happened to me...

But on the bright side, after working night shift for the last 10yrs of my life... I can finally go back to having a 9-5pm and have alot more time being a father. Best of luck to every one of you and don't let that place bring you down.

(Oh and Walmart said I will be on the DO NOT HIRE LIST as well for some reason.. idk wtf I did for that but ok sure.
