Last Tuesday...my brother was suspended from his job. He hasn't heard from his job. I told him that I'd help him find something else. After working at Save-A-Lot for almost 11 years, I'm gonna ask him to type his resume and send it to Discount Drug Mart...which I find as a better management position since they're only in Ohio and the competition isn't tight.

I only wanna talk about this to a handful of people since one may spill the beans...

Good luck to him. Good jobs are hard to find.

Im so sorry.......I hope something BETTER comes along :)

They didn't tell him how long the suspension was?

?? Was he suspended or fired?

Nope...

He may hear about it at least tomorrow...he's been on probation for 6 months now...

?? Was he suspended or fired?

Yeah, that is what I was wondering? By suspended do you mean it was something he did wrong or do you mean laid off temporarily due to it being a slow time at the store or something?:confused: If it's that than he should be able to collect unemployment in the meantime if it was no fault of his own! ;) if it's the first than to me suspended means he didn't do anything that bad ( or they would have just out and out fired him ) and they will have him back, but they really should tell him how long it will last!

Anyway, Good luck to him, wishing him all the best! ;) Either get this job back or a new one that might be even better! ;) And he should really look into Unemployment! See if he qualifies, it never hurts to check!! ;) :wave:

I should ask my brother if he can get unemployment, or even paid suspension...

Save-a-Lot is more different than it was in 2007...they are now owned by another business.

I may now get my groceries at either Aldi or Marc's.

If he was suspended without pay then the plan is probably to terminate him.

I worked as a banker for about 30 years and had to put up with my share of job related BS too. I had to deal with BS from bosses, BS from other employees, and occasional BS from customers. This is why I'm glad I can now afford to stay home and not have to work. No more job related stress and BS to deal with. And the way things are these days, the less to do with other people, the better. I stay home most of the time and keep to myself. I'm a single guy and wouldn't mind having a girlfriend, but when I think about it, I'm probably better off not being involved with anyone so I don't worry about it. If I eventually meet someone, fine, if not that's OK too.

He has Suspension Without Pay!

He's got a record and I won't even shop at Save-a-Lot!

...My Brother is now fired from Save-A-Lot.

I'll no longer shop there, so if I need cheap groceries I'll go to Aldi.

Do you know why he got fired?

I would hope your brother can bounce back from a place Save a lot:D

Do you know why he got fired?

I forgot...I gotta ask him again...probably the zero tolerance policy...

Sorry to hear your brother got suspended and hope that he can find a new job soon...

So many dirty tricks played in the workplace, all occurring since Reagan took over from Carter..

Im so sorry.... He should fight for his job back!

My brother got his 401K and he gonna give me $4K...

...should I buy a house or should I buy a car? What would be the best option?

What do you think you should buy with it?

What do you think you should buy with it?

Probably a house...since I'm unhappy with where I'm living.

Of all your ignorant statements, that might be the best. :clap

Good idea.

I take it you've either never scaled up the higher echelons of anything or you've masterminded the dirty tricks which is in part the subtext of this thread.

I'm wondering if my brother can get unemployment?

I wish I can help him with that...but what are the requirements?

Well it might vary from state to state, I've collected unemployment a few times, and in Ca. You have to be employed for a good amount of time, I think at least a year ? And let go , not quit! Ideally laid off due to business being slow or if your performance isn't up to par , but you are coming to work on time, not calling in sick too much, and not purposely trying to get fired! ;)

If you are fired for doing something like stealing or cursing out your boss, stuff like that you won't be able to collect unemployment! ;)

Your Brother needs to apply and find out if he qualifies! Doesn't hurt to try!! Good luck to him, hope he can get it! ;)

Those *******s from Save-A-Lot won't let my brother get unemployment!

And the way things are going...I may have no other choice but to move-back with my dad!

I love him and all...but he ALWAYS HAS to win!

And I must sacrifice all my belongings so I can move-back!

I'm NEVER shopping at Save-A-Lot...**** them!

Seems like you have some unresolved issues with
your father that the two of you need to work out.

He always insists that I do something like eat with him. Me and my brother would have a plan, but then he insists I go to his house and stay until late.

It seems he wants me to stay permanently...he also says that I must be interdependent, but I feel that he's codependent.
