I was fired due to tardiness on my part beyond what was considered acceptable by my company. My attendance was never an issue. What I mean by this is I never took more days off than vacation or sick days earned. Actually, I often didn't even use up all my vacation days in any given year. I have over 20 vacation days earned that my company will have to now pay me for. The only issue was me being late, not that I didn't show up or call in sick too often. I also worked several hours of OT throughout the years as my department was poorly run and seemed to be often short-staffed.
