Job Lied About Why They Fired Me
Hey this is my first reddit post ever. This situation spooked me because I never had anything like this happen before.
So about a week ago, my store manager fired me. Said he recieved an email about a "flag" on my background check. I do not have a criminal history or anything of the sort. He didn't tell me any details just "got an email. You can't be rehired so sorry bye." The thing is I already paid money for a certification I was being trained to obtain. He basically shrugged and said call him in two weeks and that I should receive something in the mail. He'll "get back to me". Turns out he's on vacation.
Waited, nothing in the mail. Called up there, no one knows what happened. Had to call another store manager she reached out to the district manager, they couldn't do anything either.
It escalated all the way up to HR. HR told me I was fired for my background check and was told to fix it. I called the company that ran my background check to see, turns out that nothing was ever wrong with my background check. I called HR vack and told them and now I have to wait two days for an email for "documentation"
HR also told me they couldn't give me my money back only the store manager that is currently on vacation could.
I tried reaching out to various coworkers if I missed anything but no response.
I live in a state that allows one party consent recording so I have recordings of multiple phone calls about this.
I just want to know, do I have a case or is this just me being screwed over and unable to do anything?
