A coworker and I were working as a manager at a movie theater chain. There were two theaters in our town and staff went between both stores. Due to covid in 2020 theaters shut down and, while managers were furloughed, a lot of the staff just never came back. We had about 20 staff members, 5 of which were managers, that worked rotating shifts at both locations. Starting around October a male manager was sexually harassing our teen girls on staff and they came to me and another manager. We informed our GM and he said he’d take care of it but never did. I filed an anonymous complaint for the girls and nothing came of it. Then I filed two more complaints that were not anonymous and still nothing came of it. By December we had lost a lot of our female staff because the harassment continued and this was on top of some staff being out of town for the holidays (we are a college town and students who live on campus cannot stay during breaks.) The GM didn’t want to deal with the situation or complaints any longer and quit leaving us in the mess the busiest time of the year. (This will come back in a minute.) On New Year’s Eve all management staff was working between the two locations due to busyness of the holidays. We received a call from a staff member stating he had COVID. We tried multiple times to get ahold of our DM for instructions and couldn’t reach him. We couldn’t find the company instructions on what to do so we got on the cdc website and used their guidelines. Now, our theater staff were all friends and got together on occasion for dinner out, game nights or cookouts. A couple days before most of the staff got together for a game night. This meant all but management staff and a couple ushers were at the person who tested positives house for food and games. Meaning, according to cdc guidelines at the time, they all had to quarantine, this included some management staff because the staff member was in the enclosed office space with most managers discussing work just the day before. While I was trying to get ahold of our DM, unbeknownst to me, the staff at my location locked the doors, cancelled the rest of showings, and the other managers sent staff home. Our DM finally reached out and wouldn’t listen about why everyone had close contact and called me a liar saying I just wanted to close the theater and that the company would lose revenue if we closed. At that point I didn’t even know the theater was locked and shows were cancelled. When I realized what they’d done, I told the staff the DM wanted us to stay open but the staff that locked the doors told me if I unlocked the doors they were all going home and I’d be on my own because they didn’t feel it was safe for them or the customers. I was getting nowhere with the DM and passed the phone to another staff member to handle the call. He said the DM was fine with us staying closed for that night and had left us to rework the schedule. ALL management staff had a conference call to discuss the situation. We ALL collectively decided to adjust the theaters schedule to have unaffected management staff working to ensure everyone was safe. With such short staff, and to follow CDC guidelines, one of the theaters was going to have to remain closed for two more days so we kept the busy one open. The manager in contact with the DM said he okayed the plan, so we followed it. The next week, myself, one other manager, and two supervisors, were FIRED for different bs reasons. I had worked there for over 5 years started as an usher and worked my way up to manager and was in the running to be the new GM of both locations. I had NEVER been written up or had so much as a slap on the wrist. The official reason for my termination was “violating policy”. They refused to tell me what policy, or when/how the violation happened. I filed for unemployment and they came after me for it. They had to tell the judge why I was fired. That’s when I found out I was let go due to filing false complaints against the guy harassing the girls, as well as incorrect incident reports, they said they knew the allegations and reports were false because my statements were inconsistent, even though they weren’t, and for closing the theater when the DM said not to. The judge ruled in my favor and even told the woman who fired me “you should be ashamed of yourself for letting a loyal employee go when she had the businesses and it’s employees best interests at heart”, he also wanted to know why only some of the management/supervisor staff were terminated but no one else on the management staff who were in agreement to close the location’s were not. The woman who fired me was on her own and had no legal representation (I didn’t either). I got a call a few weeks later offering my job back, which I didn’t take. And I found out recently by the staff that was still there, the woman who did the terminations and the DM were both fired over the issue. Oh and when I was fired all the teenage girls that were still working QUIT because the harassment guy was still employed there and there was no one sticking up for them and, due to opening the doors again before the guidelines were up, the theaters had to close for a full two weeks due to a COVID outbreak. Which is what we were trying to avoid in the first place. Now if that’s not karma in true form I don’t know what is. #wrongfultermination

Leaving a stable position for a new opportunity can be a risk. I took that risk and uprooted my life based on promises made during the interview. However, my position was terminated due to changes in the company's COVID testing. Now, I find myself in financial turmoil and uncertain job prospects. Was this wrongful termination? The impact on my life has been devastating. #WrongfulTermination

Was fired after 7 years from a non profit after a survey was done about our leadership so we shared our honest opinions and people started geting fired for made up reasons smh sad. #termination #nonprofit

In November 2021, I submitted a request to use a personal day to partake in Communion services. After being denied and taking my request further up the chain, my request was eventually approved. However, the manager issued a stern warning: "Be careful running things up the chain, because you'll get a target on your back." After returning the following Tuesday, I began experiencing retaliatory acts by both Management and Senior Management, including being placed on "forced" medical leave. The situation culminated in February 2022, when my employment was terminated based upon false allegations, which were made by the best friend of the Senior Manager's wife. Unless you: want your Constitutionally-guaranteed rights violated and/or disregarded; love being spoken to like a child by someone who is young enough to BE your child; love being worked like a dog with no appreciation; having to work a 9- to 11-hour shift with only a 30-minute break, then FedEx Express' Memphis World Hub is NOT an ideal place to work!

The same offer of quitting instead of being fired. Others who were as sick as me were offered to quit so they could be rehired once the Covid was over. #wrongfultermination #management #mythoughts #unemployment #coronavirus

Does everyone get an additional $600 in addition to their unemployment or is there some kind of criteria that has to be met? #unemployment #wrongfultermination

Any interest in helping bring a story out into the public involving the wrongful termination and slander of an employee and the company’s attempt to cover it up involving corruption within the District Attorneys office, local police department, and a local lawyer? This person has been fighting a corrupt local system for 3 1/2 years including an 11-1 mistrial in his favor of not guilty near the end of the 3rd year . The state is objecting to the motion to dismiss and a retrial date is pending #wrongfultermination
