WHO TOOK THE COOKIES FROM THE JAR
i learned a new emotion today, a lesson.
i was working, DOING MY JOB when i was pulled by one of my supervisors that one of my managers wanted to see me. i
thought it was for a long awaited interview to change departments. instead i was pulled to the BACKROOM..
this 4 x 4 empty dungeon is feared by almost all employees bc after being hired you only see that room
to get FIRED. i obviously didnt feel right. there was a chair in the middle of the room where i was asked
to sit down. Two six foot three, football player looking men where waiting for me (their position is LOSS
PREVENTION basically making sure that noone steals, customers OR employees). only one guy spoke the WHOLE
TIME he tried making the environment friendly but he was in my face trying to intimidate me. my manager
was sitting behind me and the door was SHUT. they knew alot about me started questioning me about my past
jobs, positions, and salary. they said if i liked to work at the HD i wasnt stupid i knew what this was
leading too. i said im only here so that i can pay my tuition (FYI: HD PAYS HALF MY TUITION). then they
mentioned i was short $23.66 in sept. -I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THAT nor did i sign anything saying i was
aware of it which is procedure. then he started patronizing me. i said i know im young but im not stupid
what do you guys want (they were playing mind games with me). they continued by saying i was short 100
smackaroos last week! i was completely unaware of this as well. they said i wasnt told bc an invest-
igation had to be conducted. they proceeded by saying the investigation was already thoroughly conducted.
they started playing good cop bad cop, "i know sometimes things get rough, are you going through a rough
time? sometimes you need diapers for the baby, need some cash for rent. we just want to know what happen
to the money, you can tell us, do you believe in second chances bc HD does tell us and youll be ok" I
told them what i knew which was nothing and they continued till they made me shed a tear. then i had to
fill out a statement and sign it- the manager watch me do it, they said they would fill out their own
statements..but who would watch them? i asked for a copy they said it wasnt necessary. WTF i insisted
again they declined AGAIN. i left outraged they made me feel stupid and LOW LIFE. again i might not be
genius but shit the streets are mine. i went to my HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER, i will be receiving a copy of
that statement, and i found out i didnt have to fill it out to begin with. im taking this shit to the
headquarters and help me howard lol. i felt like a criminal, like i had to confess to something i didnt
do or else i was gonna lose my job (which i would have if i would have confessed)vicious circle, i DIDNT
CONFESS TO SHIT WHO YOU IS??? i dont care if they said they were president i know what i didnt do plus dont you
think if you caught someone taking BIG
money from a register they would have arrested or fired me at the moment, there was no
point in doing what they did except make me feel inferior. so WHO IS WITH ME? DO YOU THINK I TOOK THAT MONEY?
