I haven't been on NT too much lately.
I worked at a store starts with a M ends with a y, over a year I got fired on some Bulls taking a long break but, sometimes if matters necessary my managerlets us combine our two 10 min breaks. And this happened the day the Space Jams came out. My manager was not there the morning this went down he was therelater in the day. I had to work at 6:45AM. I got to the mall at 6AM and got inline. I had a co-worker like 5 people behind me also inline. I let him take myspot so I can go to work. I got to work a few minutes early clocked in on time everything. I tell people at work why all these people are waiting in line andeverything. 2 stores in the mall were gonna open at 8am, the other 4, 6am to sell the shoes. I worked for a while did what I could being by myself and wassuppose to open with another seasonal person in my department but he wasn't there and around 7:30AM I went to the bathroom had my boy from anotherdepartment come over and cover so my department wasn't left alone. I told him I'm gonna run down to see whats up with the lines too. So I get toSheikh's and the line was only like 10 deep so I had a chance. So I text him and tell him I'm gonna wait. 5 mins later I text this girl that works inanother department (that starts at 7:45AM) so she could cover me just in case too so she did. I was in the line and . So the line went and then there were 3people in front of me and the guy yells "we only have 1 pair size 13" dude in front of the guy I was in back of was a 13 so guy in front of him lethim get it. So I dash off back to work and its like 7:56AMish And soon as I get to the door, the manager on duty is walking out looking for me. She was mad andtold me " how long were you gone? You know you took your two breaks right now and I agreed she knew where I was and didn't take any other breaks theremainder of the day. She reported me to HR about what happened and I got suspended two days later (my next shift) and was scheduled to go in on NYE to talkto HR about what happened. Day I was suspended I wrote my statement. I went into HR and told the story again and turns out the manager that reported itdidn't include what she told me about taking about taking both my breaks already. I was on my way out of the job anyway but, I didn't want to leavelike that my manager was really shocked too that it ended like that because a number of people are leaving the company on a bad note. Anyways what should I do?
