Ignore it??? Please any feedback is appreciated thanks
First thing you should do is learn to type a cohesive paragraph. I didn't even try to make it through this whole thing, it was so full of broken grammar. -------And I'm not being a prick; if you want people to read what you write, it's rude to make them struggle at it.
Hard to understand what you are trying to convey. Might be broken English, might be on a cell phone that can't write.
First, the manager can't just fire you at most stores. If you are unionized, there are progressive steps the managers have to go thru before they can fire you unless it is for something outrageous. There are several write-up steps they must go thru. Just act dumb and say ok. Pretend to fix the problem. Don't argue with the managers. Let your Department manager deal with them when they get back from vacation.
If you are newly hired and still on probation, that is something completely different. They can let you go for no reason at all in most states before the probation is over.
If you are given a write-up for work performance, insist that the shop steward is in the room with you. If no shop steward, ask someone with senority and union knowledge to be your witness in the room. Let the union defend you if you disagree with the write-up and want to grieve it. Refuse to sign the write-up. Never sign any write-up ever. If you sign it, then you agree you did something wrong. The union can't defend you then.
Document and report. Abusiveness is in conflict with the company's claimed core values.
. . . insist that the shop steward is in the room with you. If no shop steward, ask someone with seniority and union knowledge to be your witness in the room.
Good advice, and it is a right guaranteed by the federal government.
You may refuse to sign, but signing isn't an admission of guilt. You may write, "Do not agree/Under protest" and/or "Only receipt of document acknowledged".
