He did what?
My job called me, and told me that I am to get down to my work and clean up a mess or I was going to get fired.
I grew up in a home where non of my family had a filter what so ever. My parents always educated me and my younger sister about everything. So over time and as I had gotten older, there really isn't anything people can do or say to embarrass me. This story not only embarrassed me but I felt very hummileated. My name is Keziah and I am your narrator for this story, please feel free to share my story.
I am going to begin this with a little bit of background, just so that this makes more sense of the situation that had happened. Michael is a 32 year old mentally disabled adult, that has a mind set of about a 9 year old mind. He had contacted me again for the 3rd time, wanting my help to become clean and living on his own. It been 3 months in March that he has stayed with us. There has been a lot of up and downs, but it was normal for his state of mind and getting sober. I had been working with him and trying to teach him his triggers and some coping skills that he can do. At this point I have learned about him wearing diapers, just because he wanted to. So I was trying to break him of the habit, as well as informing him on how others see that it is not ok to be wearing little kids pull ups.
On March 8, 2021 I had got up around 8 am, because my daughter had a dentist appointment. I had noticed that Michael was not home, and he had snuck out in the middle of the night. It was about 8:30 am when Michael had messaged my husband telling him that he is in Caldwell pan handling. Michael had also mentioned that he wasn't coming back, because he loves getting high off of meth and didn't like the fact that he couldn't get high at home. As me and my husband were walking out the door my supervisor had called me. I did not answer my phone because I was talking to my husband to have him meet me at my work so I can give him some money. While I was at the ATM pulling money, one of my coworkers had approached me. She was apologizing to me about a situation that had happen with Michael and a customer and hour before I had shown up. I was actually shocked that he was at my work and not in Caldwell like he said he was. When I had asked her if he was still there she had told me yes, but wasn't sure where he ran to. I then ran outside to let my husband know and asked if he could check the men's room to see if he was hiding in there. I was called over by my supervisor, so that she can inform me that Michael had shown up at 5:30 am wearing a mini skirt. All I could do was shake my head in embarrassment. I was starting to run late on picking up my daughter, so I had left. My husband had called me around 10:30 am, to let me know that he could not find him, and he had to get to work. So I thought that Michael had actually left the store and took off. Then about 30 min later I had got a phone call from my supervisor. She was wanting to know where I was at and that Michael was still at Extra Mile where I worked. I had told her that my daughter was still in with the dentist, so there was not anything that I could do. When I had hung up I was so confused on why she was starting to get upset. 30 more minutes have gone by and she was calling me again. This time she was more rude and disrespectful. She then had demanded that I tell her where I was and what I was doing. So I had told her once again that I was waiting for my daughter to get out of the dentist office. Not even 20 min go by and she is calling me again. This time she is pretty much yelling at me and talking to me like I am a very bad person for taking my child to her dentist appointment. So at this point I had called my husband to see if he can take off from work to go pick Michael up cuz they just wouldn't stop calling me. I had took my daughter to get something for lunch because she had missed her lunch due to her appointment taking to long. I had dropped my daughter off at school around 12:30 pm, I wasn't even out of the parking lot yet when my job was calling me again. This time she was out of line with the way she was talking to me. She had told me that my husband had already picked him up, but I was to go straight in. That is when she had told me that Michael had pooped himself and got it all over a chair that he was sitting in, plus it was all over in the mens room as well. My manager told me that I was to go straight there and clean it all up or I was going to get fired. What my manager made me do was against Jacksons policy. I was just blown away that they were making me come in and clean this up. Still not knowing why I got into so much trouble for something that a customer had done and I was not even in the same town. I was so mad and upset that I just didn't know what to think. A couple of my regulars had seen me and came up to me to talk to me. So of course I told the story of what happened, they told me that Jacksons was so messed up by making me come in and clean it all up. When I got into the men's room, I was expecting poop all over the floor and walls. But when I got in there all I had to do was clean the inside of the toilet and take the trash out. All of this only took me 20 min to clean up. When I went home I was so fearious and mad that I didn't talk to anyone. I then got ready to go to work. When I had got there my manager and districked manager had stopped me from clocking in. Instead I was told that I had to go take a drug test and I was suspended until further notice. I couldn't believe that I was being punished for something that a customer had done while I was in a different town.
A week has gone by and I still haven't heard anything on when I was able to go back to work. I finally decided to just quit my job. It was not fair that I got punished and in fear retailed against after all of that had happened. When I had texted my dm telling him that I quit because if was bs that they had done that to me. When i had went to return all of my uniforms, I had told my manager that I quit, because I was not going to get retaileated against any more from what had happened.
Still to this day it embarrasses me of this. I had even spoke to Kody Jacksons and told him what had happened. Kory Jacksons acted as if he could care less. When I had asked him about my vacation time, He had told me that I was not going to get is because I was terminated. I was so confused and mad. How can he say that when I have the proof on my phone that I had quit my job. So I had told him that I was going to the news so that way people know. I was done wrong. It shouldnt have mattered if I knew the guy at all. Also is what makes all of this even worse? Is that I was Michaels care taker. Still not sure Why I was and still am being punished for something that was out of my control.
That is my embarrassing story that had happend. I am very slowly being 86 from the Jacksons stores. So make sure you keep a look out on the news for when I report it to all of the tv stations just to inform the world on what really goes on. Until next time I am Keziah your narrotor
