I've worked as a manager with this company since April of last year. I started working at the 2nd highest revenue store in our district. For the 3rd quarter of the year that I was there I had the number one ranked store. It was a long drive to work though, so after the 3rd quarter ended I asked to be transfered to a store closer to home. So I was moved to another store close to home which happen to be like the 2nd lowest revenue store in the district. Mind you, I was still getting paid as if I was a high revenue store manager. (about a 8k a yr difference) After the entire district struggled for the 4th and new 1st quarter, I was placed on a 30 day notice. I was told by my DM 5-6 othere managers were also on the same plan. If I didn't get my stores numbers up I would be fired. Two days before the 30 days were up, I was let go. At that time, there were 4-5 other stores lower than me in the district rankings. I know at least three of those managers were also on the same action plan I was on. I was the only one let go. I asked why I was the only one let go. I was told, "It's a case by case situation". I worked my ass off trying to get the stores numbers up. Personally, my numbers were amazing. I was by far and away the best performing manager in my district as far as sales. Unfortunately my crew could not keep up with me and as a result it brought the whole stores numbers down. So having said that, could they deny me unemployment benefits? The only reason they gave me was my stores numbers were too
