Plans to go out for surgery, during medical leave or soon after returning ? I was suspended from my job due a false accusation and it is

I work for a major grocery store chain as a supervisor . They claim I worked with the deli manager to get a half price pizza. I remember buying a pizza but the was no way discussion about it as stealing. There is however the possibility I bought it as the time was expiring on it and there for the manger always discounts it. My manager new what kind of surgery I was having and has a family member who had many complications afterwards. I think he was afraid of me being out for surgery and how it would effect them if I had complications. It is all bulls$$$. As of now my lawyer is trying to get me off of suspension because of discrimination

My surgery is 6/4, and to add to above, I do recall getting a pizza, but do not recall it being discounted , but the price it was, is the price you get for a pizza that is close to expiration

Omg I can't believe what I'm reading, they suspended you for a pizza? Really!!! No way!! That for sure sounds WRONG, it must be something worst going on, oh and btw did they ever give you a verbal warning? Always remember that verbal warnings come first, then written warnings, suspension and then release of your duties but wow this is a shocker!!! Good luck and keep us update

Sue there butts... How dare them.. BTW I never knew they have a special price for pizza when it's about to expire. Like above poster said. You should had gotten a warning first verbal then writtennup the last is suspension,and after worth fire,but I find no need for warning or anything if you did nothing wrong.

Did the deli manager get suspended too? You paid for it, regardless of the price so yea- you've got a case!! Good luck, keep us posted!!

[nomorefat 74]

Yes. Everyone could see he had it out for him too. My lawyer is good, so I have faith it will turn out ok, since I know I did nothing wrong . Surgery on Monday !!! Yeah buddy !!

Update for everyone.. Work has still not replied to my lawyer. I am still employed but who knows for how much longer . Still moving forward with surgery , I am so stressed about the work issue that I don't even have time to stress about the operation on 6/4. 5 days !!!!
