Ok, without getting into too many details, I am most likely facing termination from Wal-Mart after more than 5 1/2 years. If you get 4 write-ups within a 12 month period you're automatically terminated. I'm at 3 right now with a 4th pending (2 were massive brain farts that I had, and one was bogus for "poor job performance"). After the 3rd one I was very angry and went home, went on my facebook account and posted a rant that ended with "Wal-Mart can kiss my ass!" One of my "friends" printed it out and it ended up in the hands of the store manager. I'm pretty much cooked, as this violates the "social media policy."
Has anyone here been fired from Wal-Mart? Will this be a "not eligible for re-hire" situation, as I don't want prospective employers finding out that they wouldn't hire me back. Also, what is their policy on telling people why you were fired? Do they disclose the reason in detail, or do they just say "we wouldn't hire him/her back?"
I admit I messed up, but I don't want to have to work in some sort of crappy job for the next 2 years just to get some more job history because I messed up.
Also, what is the best way to handle the issue when asked why I left my last employer on job applications and interviews? I'm seriously freaking out here that I completely screwed myself over and I've been kicking myself for 2 straight days.
