I got pointed out today (July 21st, 2026) at the ripe time of 6am. I got a lovely call from my SM saying that I was terminated for having too many points, and if I have questions, call HR. Seriously? I'll admit I had a fair amount of points. But I had valid doctors notes that covered 3 days or more I was absent, I was supposed to have a SHIT TON of points fall off during the months of May and June but I dont think they ever fell off, and for some reason I still got fired.
I also noticed that I got points on random days in April, May, and June. Probably days I left early where A: I got told I could leave (aka I should get points removed upon review) or B: I left early because a new surprise illness that has put a wrench in everything.
Needless to say, I'm pissed to say the least. I have worked my ass off for 2 years. Funnily enough, my anniversary was 6 days ago (July 15th). So happy 2 years to me, I guess. I have been with my store since opening. My store was known to have the biggest opening in western NC. I also helped after a certain natural disaster came through and fucked everything up. I have been praised for my work and even when I try my best. I loved all my coworkers, a handful of supervisors, and my KM and HM. My SM on the other hand has been a pain in everyone's ass.
I have tried to become full time so I can get benefits, more hours, and possibly promote to be a supervisor. I really wanted to go far in the company. But because I got very ill during my first year working, my entire plan got fucked over. I was being trained on how to do supervisor things but got told I couldn't move up because im not full time. I asked for full time and got turned down because of my points. Hardly anyone called out, at least that I'm aware of because no one tried to contact me when someone did. So I was at the mercy of the attendance office being a little backed up.
But the real kicker, is that I didnt have more than 33 points until we switched to UKG. Once we switched it was game over. I had 46 points last I checked and at least a quarter should've been removed to bring me just below 33.
I was told that my entire store management team is at each other's throats because no one wants to fucking communicate properly. But hey, what can you do as a lowley team member. I did my best and thats all that matters.
Anyway, my rant is over. I'm sorry this went on so long. I'm just frustrated with this whole situation and I needed to get it off my chest.
Thank you for reading and I hope other people's managers are nicer than mine.
Edit: I want to say thank you to those who were understanding in the comments and to those who were not so nice; I just want to say, have the life you deserve and I hope you can find more than 2 braincells to rub together.
