wow....I wrote the whole thing out, hit post and the dang thing vanished. I usually copy but......
so here's the short version
My situation with getting UI has absolutely nothing to do with the DLSE investigating my case. According to my old boss, I was fired for "betting". I assumed this is what she would say to the UI people. Yes I was wrong for "betting" ( I guess)...but I didn't know I was wrong. That being the situation, I was unclear as to whether or not it would be approved....
now...
I believe the reason I was fired was because my boss was pissed off at me for complaining about my schedule. She is the person that is to cover me for breaks and lunch. She's never there to cover me. I complained to my direct supervisor for 3-4 months. Nothing changed. 3 days before I was suspended, I went to my boss and told her I was tired of it. I requested that she either be there or have someone there that can cover my breaks/lunch. Taking lunch and breaks is a protected activity. Worked there 7-8 months. I never missed a day...never asked for a raise. I did leave 2 times because I was sick (waited for coverage). I am equal to 8 other people in title and pay....I am the only one out of them who opens the store, counts the money and makes deposits to the bank. I'm told she now has 3 people doing my job and she still comes in late. When you're the boss.....it's real convenient to have a person like me around.
There were many other things that were said and situations that occurred...but this is already longer than the short version
I'll keep you guys up to date
