Recently I’ve been going through personal strife and issues with mental health and finances leading to time management problems. In an effort to make some extra money I was late to work for my final strike before being put on suspension. Due to my union contract management has 3 working days to suspend me. Days one and two I left two hours after store management and was the last person to leave so they chose to not suspend me quite yet since only 1 other person is trained and willing to do my job and I was covering his days off. Today (day 3) I show up to someone covering my shift. I’m over half way through my shift and management still hasn’t called me in to the office. Usually they leave at the same time as me and we are a tad short staffed so I assume they are waiting until I leave to follow through with punishment. At lunch my supervisor approached me to stay an extra hour. Out of spite I accepted because that leaves management with 3 options:

  1. Stay later than they usually would to execute my punishment.
  2. Leave as they usually would and not punish me.
  3. Suspend me when they usually would leave and still leave themselves short staffed.

I’m excited to see how the end of my night plays out and will update with how they decide to proceed 😂
