Dunno. That's what Becky, the girl who just got fired, told me. People have been calling for references and being told that whomever they're calling in reference to is not eligible for rehire. She knows a couple came in for me and a couple of others.

And the girl who got fired before me (she got fired at the beginning of January) is still waiting for her unemployment!

From what I could gather, between all who've been fired in the last six months are so (since the new central station manager was hired), we've all been done the same way. Model employees then 3 write ups back to back within a week or two...all bullshit. If they want to get rid of us that bad, fine. But don't make it difficult for us to get another job! Most of us have kids to support.

I'm getting really frustrated and stressed over all of this. I've even been putting apps in at convenience stores and little stores. I'll take just about any (legal) job as long as it's 40 hours a week, even at minimum wage. And for some reason I can't get past the first initial interview. Hell, I'll take 2 part time jobs...temporary jobs...anything to bring some money in.
