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

It's not always. It depends on where he works. If he works at a medical facility he can't have his phone in his pockets because he could photograph medical records.

Keep it in your trunk... There are rules for a reason.

for all the people talking about unfair dismissal and sueing, OP doesn't say what state they're in, but a lot of states employers can fire people for any reason that doesn't have to do with a protected class. employees rights have been eroded over the years along with union powers

Why didn't you just leave it in your car or at home? they can't punish you for "not having" a cell phone on the property at all.

I worked in a Corporate Loss Prevention/Operations Management position for 4 years. Unfortunately there is no law concerning lockers and security requirements with regards to personal items. The messed up thing is that from a "Loss Prevention" standpoint, Managers/Supervisors are required to do locker checks on a daily basis and if a locker has no lock, they are allowed to open it without asking permission from any company employees. Essentially leaving your goods there for the taking. The only thing to do in this case is keep your phone in your car at that time.

That can't fire you for that. Legally that is. I'd say file a lawsuit or at least threaten one
