Target Store 2201 Fired Me For Having Coronavirus
I was hired at Target store 2201 in Ross/Pittsburgh PA before the covid19 pandemic began. A few months later I sadly ended up catching the virus and it took a huge toll on me. I immediately told my store director and the HR department to make them aware. I was informed that due to being understaffed I could face a write up for calling out and until I provided official documentation that says I have the virus and that I still needed to come to work. For the safety of my coworkers and the store customers, I had no choice but to call out. When I spoke to the store director on the phone, he told me I would be fired if I didn’t provide proof / documentation that I had the virus. I then told him that it would take a day or 2 for my doctor to send the results in. The very next day, I got fired. Target expressed no sympathy towards my illness and showed no concern towards the safety of team members and guests, knowingly exposing many. I am not the only person who got canned due to having covid19 in this company or at this store location alone.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Tarshit doesn't care about humans.
You have every right to slap their asses with a lawsuit. You did the right thing and Tarshit did not do right thing by you. Take asses to the cleaners. Show no mercy!!!!
This is why cases are sky rocketing in good old usa. Glad we booted Tarshit out. And don't you dare come back. We don't want you.
