At the beginning of last year, I got fired from a company that started expecting it’s technical support people to also be salespeople. The only way to make their sales quotas was if you deceived customers into buying things they did not need to resolve problems they already paid us to fix. I failed to make their sales quotas, got let go with the rest of the people with low sales figures, and found out when I filed for unemployment that I was “fired with cause” for poor attendance, despite having very good attendance and never coming close to having enough attendance points to even qualify for a verbal warning.
Then, I never got my W2 from them. It was returned to them as undeliverable because I had moved, but I didn’t have any trouble with any of my other mail being forwarded, so I’m not sure what the problem was there. I called them a couple of weeks ago to find out they still had it, I asked them to hold on to it so I could come pick it up.
Went to get it today and found out that they shredded my W2 and I have to call somebody on the other side of the country to have them send me a new one. This means I’ll have to file for an extension at the last minute. When asked why my W2 was shredded, was told they held on to it for over a month and then gave up on me coming to get it.
WRONG, you may have had it a month after it was returned to you, but I called you just over two weeks ago and you said you’d hold on to it for me. Why shred it? Why didn’t they just mail it to me when they came to the mistaken conclusion I wasn’t coming for it, I gave them my new address…I know this is a lame pitting, but I’m too mad to come up with any eloquent vitriol. Damn them.
