I got fired from guitar center in modesto about a month ago... the reason that the manager said he didnt want to keep me was because of my sales performance. He wanted me to sell close to $27,000 by myself each month, I worked in the drum dept and it was impossible now a days to even reach $15,000. I just got a paper from unemplyment, and i got denied. The reason on the unemployment paper was that i got denied because of attendance, which i was late a couple times because i havent had my car for about three months, its been at eq tuning getting my motor work done. I drove a 98 neon that broke down on me like 3 times, which caused me to be late. Anyways on the last write up he had told me that one of the things that i need to work on is to eat healthier... Now my question to you guys, can he tell me this? thats like border line discrimination, ya i might have gained a couple pounds while working there... still i dont think he can tell me that. Also i got denied for unemployment because of attendance, but the reason he told me was cause sales performance. What do i do??

 

first off we can put this in the right section..

moving to the Central forum.

 

He can say whatever he likes but it's what he says that can help and or hurt you. You can always fight the claim. Don't be intimidated. If he is discriminating fight it. You may not end up with the full amount. You may not get unemployment for an extended term. Good luck

 

Fight it. Take him to court. My buddy got fired for leaving one lug nut loose but they blamed him for destroying an engine.. he took gen manager of toy to court and won the fight. Just do what u can and defend your unemployment.

 

The employer can deny your claim for whatever reason. At that time the claim is dead until you fight it. Happens all the time... Especially with retard retail mangers. That guitar center is and has been a mess for years due to a variety of reasons. Be happy you are gone from there and fight for what you are entitled to.

 

Thanks guys for the info. I will fight it, and im ready to roll... and yes i am extremely happy to be out of that dump. It was the worst job ive ever had, as a musician i loved to go there, now that ive worked there and got fired, never again will i ever shop there again. My 18 month old son can run the store hell of a lot better than the store manager there. The only thing i got out of it is all my music equipment at cost...

 

SOrry to hear about the job. Employers who deny unemployment benefits are jack holes.

Sidenote:
Three months is a long time for motor work.
