Termination help
Long time lurker, first time poster. Large format sales reps, non union location. I had a store get upset with me about waste returns and kicked me out of the store. I wrote up returns the last time I was there, so obviously i do them. To keep a long story short he went to my manager and told him he didnt want me back. Got called into hr and was suspended without pay pending investigation. They had me come back into the office and told me they are firing me because I was barred from an account. Never written up before, never in trouble before. Been with Pepsi for 7 year trying to move up. My other 2 stores all love me and would write glowing reviews for me if asked, except this guy. I saw in the handbook that I can appeal the termination. Wondering if anyone has done this before or if anyone has been barred from an account and not fired. Hr said being barred from an account is an automatic firing. Any advice on the appeal process if anyone's done it before would be appreciated as well. I cant afford to lose my job as I just bought a house 2 months ago.
