This went down a couple weeks ago, but I'm STILL trying to wrap my head around it.
My sister got fired from her job a couple weeks ago. She worked at the same place I still work. We have an 'occurance' policy, where if you have 10 occurances in a rolling 12 month period, you will be pretty much shown the door. (Being late is half an occurance, being sick is a full occurance, though you can miss 3 straight days with calling in and only get the 1 occurance.)
Anyways, my sister had been at 9 at the start of the month, and the day before she had to go to work, she had an issue with her eye. The only place that would've been open was an emergency room, but it wasn't quite an 'emergency', just an urgent care type of situation.
So that night, we went over her occurance schedule, showing the occurances still on the list. About a week after the month started, an occurance was set to fall off her record. So she figured she could go to urgent care, see what was wrong with the eye, I'd provide a doctor's note since I had a shift later that day (as little good as that would do with the occurance policy), and then she could go in the next day as long as it wasn't too big of a problem.
I take her up in the morning, and she gets checked out. She basically needs medicated eyedrops to take care of what's essentially a zit under the eyelid (ew), and she gets the note, which I take in. The supervisor takes the note and no big deal, right?
Next morning as I get up, my sister's home, talking to our mom. Little brother approaches me and says 'don't talk to her about work'. I ask why... and find out they really fucking fired her!
She got told that she has ELEVEN occurances not long after she gets there and is shown the door! Needless to say, none of this makes sense to me. Even if the occurance hadn't fallen off, there's no way she had that many occurances.
So of course, within hours, they lock up all her login information, and basically try to sweep her service under the rug, with an e-mail only to our department that '(she) is no longer with (company) and if you have any questions, see a supervisor.'
She's fighting to get unemployment and looking for a new job, not that they seem to give a fuck that she's got bills to pay. Agh...
As for the subject title, ANOTHER rep in my department got fired that same day for hitting 10 occurances too. He posted about it on facebook. He'd gone through some surgeries, had a parent pass away, and other crap this year, and was told that was the reason why he got let go, it wasn't good business to be gone that much.
