I think a colleague was framed
Title says it. They let her go today. It started a couple of months ago. My colleague is an immigrant and the same ethnicity I am. Let’s call her Maddie.
My store manager or coordinator would hand me things to give Maddie to mark down as much as possible at the register and then hand them back to me. My store manger and coordinators have asked one more person of our ethnicity who works at this store to do the same.
Now today they showed Maddie camera footage of marking things down and handing them to her “friends”, then they gave her papers and let her go.
My other colleagues were talking in the break room about Maddie and how she is a thief and she will never get hired at any other store or retailer because she now has theft in the background check?
First off, how can they do this?! How is this even legal?
Second, is it true that she cannot get a job anymore because of this?! We are in California if that matters.
It’s so messed up, I cannot stop thinking about her.
