Rummaging around in my stuff

By Chesty Larue - 07/08/2015 00:29 - United States

Today, I got fired from my part-time job, because I insisted on keeping my phone in my pocket and never using it, instead of putting it in locker without a lock or security camera, that anyone can go through. The manager found out by searching my locker for the past 3 weeks. Ironic. FML

But how can they fire you for having your phone with you? Isn't there also a law or something that says work places must have a secure (locked), clean place for personal belongings? Damn, fyl op

I think there are some legal issues with that but it's probably not worth the hassle, I wish you luck in finding a better job OP. ^u^

if your boss worries about his employees not focusing on their work, he should invest in lockers with a lock instead of being a douche

That's illegal, you can take them to court for that. Contact your boss explain situation n see if u can get job back and manager fired or contact legal advisor

It's not illegal. In a medical facility you can't have a phone in like your pocket or anything because you could be photographing private medical records

stand up to your ass boss, cause the wu-tang clan aint nothin to **** wit

Put a lock on it? If that's the rule, follow it.

Keep it in your car? I totally understand not being allowed your phone in the workplace but they must offer a safe place to keep it. You could make a complaint to head office?

You could have brought in your own lock

**** em. Find a better job with less cunty coworkers.

Say that you don't bring your phone to work with you! Although it sounds like you're better off without the place.
