I recently faced a tough situation at my job where I was sick and had to call out due to vomiting. When I returned to work, I overheard my General Manager and a shift lead discussing how I supposedly called out just to avoid working with a specific colleague. This was frustrating because I always check the schedule upon arrival to see who is working and when. I've even brought in doctor's notes to validate my absences, but it seems like they have a personal issue with me. I learned from a couple of coworkers that there's an HR case being opened against me, and I'm worried it might lead to my termination since I've felt targeted by my GM since I started. I'm currently looking for a new job before the HR meeting, but I'm concerned about the implications of being fired. I live in Tennessee and I'm unsure if I would be eligible for unemployment benefits if they let me go after the meeting. I’ve heard that being fired for legitimate sick leave or defending myself against false claims typically doesn’t disqualify someone from unemployment, but I’m anxious about how this will unfold.
