Heeeeelllllllooooooooo Everybody!
So I know I've been quiet as usual. Just been chugging along as I have been. The good news is that things were looking up for us and got things back on track...
Bad news? Whelp yesterday my wife was terminated from Target after 11 years. Why? Well, it was a bit of column A and column B; her fault and theirs, but mostly theirs. The first part was that the store is going through a remodel and multiple older employees were getting chopped left and right; two others were lined up and fired along with her while others were let go over the past couple of weeks as they "restructure". This push normally wouldn't, or well shouldn't, hurt a veteran of the store right? Well, the issue there is that over the past year after my mother passed away; my wife's mental health tanked too. Constantly driving to work burning a fourth of a tank of gas round trip and other stress-inducing things (both as a cashier and internal workings of the store) just kept adding up and she started becoming late for work. Most times it would be due to traffic based on how far she had to drive, but there was a psychological warfare side to it all as well. So they took the opportunity to say their pleasantries, use her problems as a "valid reason", and pushed her out. Luckily no "pink slip" so to speak so it seemed a mutual agreement.
Slightly better news: we were kind of planning of giving them a two-week notice as she just got a better job that is remote! So that works out in our favor; though not on our terms. That said; it's going to hurt us financially for right now because of the in-between delay in getting her final check and her new job's check...
This leads to me once again asking for some help. The goal is to get $100 minimum to take care of a few things such as getting medications and food for our pets along with ourselves. SO if you guys could spread the word; that would be great <3
