Was working for sams club. Drunk or hungover coworker was angry about how I was pushing carts (okay boomer) and when I ignored his complaining he grabbed me from behind in sort of a chokehold half nelson thing, twisting my neck and covering my mouth. I bit him and was able to flip him over my shoulder (it wasnt fast and cool like in action movies, it took me straining myself pretty hard). Anyway I was still quite winded, and he got up off the ground pretty fast to come at me again and I swung the little rope and hook tool we carry to control large lines of carts at him, striking his head. He put stopped, put his hand to his head and looked at his blood covered hand before calling me a fucking idiot and stumbling away. Anyway, ive been told 3 different stories about what happened and all of them try to paint me at fault. One story is I initiated the attack. One story is that I had the opportunity to flee (I did not, I was cornered and it was outside along the side of the building). Finally, the newest story now is that there were several witnesses saying they saw everything and that after I got toby off my back he started to walk away (and that I hit him in the front of his head while he was facing away from me, somehow.)
I cant even get unemployment because walmart/sams told the unemployment people i was fired for workplace violence and misconduct. On top of that, this happens when I am in the middle of paying for dental work and in the middle of a fucking pandemic where people aren't doing much hiring to begin with.
I know I'm fucked and can't do anything to make Sam's hire me back even though I need the job very badly, but I will be finally getting unemployment benefits, as soon as the workforce commission appeals tribunal gets back to me. It is very good thing I called the police and wrote my affidavit and had the officer statement supporting my side of the story because otherwise I would have not had any document to support my unemployment appeal.
I ran out of room to type because I ramble so much: Currently what i do is while i wait for one of my applications to get me hired, I stand outside the Sams Club i was working at with a sign explaining my struggle and how I have been treated. The company should be protecting me but instead it is easier for them to just hire a new cart pusher and push me aside in a time of desperate need. Would anybody be willing to call my former supervisor and their supervisors as well? I guess it isn't productive but I've been fighting this since October 3rd and I'm so tired. I know other people are suffering and its not all about me but I have been wronged and dont know what to do other than to just keep calling Walmart/Sams' open door hotline, ethics hotline, and so on.

>fired for workplace incident >does not hire lawyer >DOES make 3D model to explain incident to anonymous strangers on freshwater eel breeding image board OP you are a fucking schizo retard, and while I find this entertaining I believe your life is suffering because of it
The 3D model isn’t super clear, could u make a video

I already did that, thats how i was advised on how to get my unemployment taken care of (its just a waiting game right now because millions of people are without jobs and income right now).
That aside, I live in Texas, an at will to hire state, and they can fire me for any reason real or fake so long as it doesnt smell like an attack on race, religion, ethnicity, creed, etc... which I know it is not, so i'm not going to even pretend that it is.
Anyhow, its come down to Sams saying "we may be wrong but legally we can do what we want so suck it"
Even in the face of the officer's report of the scene, even with my assailant admitting he attacked me, even with cameras being pointed at the area it happened (though they may just be dummy cams) they refuse to help me and every time i get an open door case opened it gets closed again... So thats my deal.
I already got to an attourney. They helped me in the ways they can. Now I think the only way to get back my lost compensation and lost potential future career with the company is if somehow the media or enough angry people call in to shame them into treating me right.
Ian Nelson
I agree, need video. If you can't do a video with 3D renders just dress up in a Sam's Club outfit and play the different roles yourself
Ryder Morris
Did you actually go through the trouble of recreating all these scenarios in Garry's Mod? Are you planning to sue or something?

@user QJp8Jm2p
lol thats actually funny because I am a medicated schizophrenic and was in special education classes until 10th grade when I took my GED. yes I know the 3D model is bad, but I felt like maybe my statement, afidavit, and the police report was not communicating clearly why i was unable to flee from my attacker.
Parker Bell
Get a lawyer.
Easton Cook
>okay boomer Fuck off zoomer faggot, you got what you deserved.
Evan Stewart

Nathaniel Foster
I honestly feel bad for you but what do you expect us to do exactly? Like okay you got screwed out of unemployment by Sam's Club maybe. If you went to a lawyer and the lawyer already told you there is no case (which is weird given the situation you describe) then what do you expect random strangers on the internet to do? Or are you just venting about this
yes guys I already talked to an attorney. they helped me organise my appeal to the unemployment people but told me because of how Texas laws are, there is no way for me to have a wrongful termination case.
Blake Fisher
>1. You have autism >2. You need to learn how to reply to people on 4chinz >3. You need to lawyer up immediately if you want to fight this
can you help me i havent used Zig Forums for over a decade.
and yeah i'm just venting really. I mean i dunno. i guess I am secretly hoping for internet army shenanigans but I know that wont happen because I'm nobody and as far as any of you know I could be a murderous asshole that did in fact attack the other guy... but i think the angle of the bite mark on his arm and the angle of the wound on his head would be proof of what direction everyone was facing during time.
also, not autistic, unless schizophrenia is on the spectrum now, though I am medicated and only rarely see auras, flickring lights, and smooshy walls. no screamies in my head with the hydroxizine and lithium i take, for years now.
Christopher Martinez
No, you need to press charges against the coworker who attacked you. That's assault and battery.
Leo Gutierrez
Sounds like you have some mental health issues user (though your story absolutely seems legit) I think the best thing is to just move on from this entirely, and do your best to get a new job and/or unemployment.
Noah Walker
You can kill everyone involved, user.
Benjamin Perez
This, law enforcement will be able to access any cctv and will cut through fake witness statements.
Logan Perez
Talk to your union. This is exactly the kind of situation they are there for.
...You are the member of a union, right?
Matthew Hill
Well whatever you do please animate your op pic and share with us. If you got fired you probably have time on your hands and I'm sure we'd love to see it
Elijah Ross
oh okay here is how i respond to specific posts: sorry about that guys, like I said its been a long time. I already pressed charges and so on. the police kind of shrugged their shoulders about it though, and I dont have the financial ability to go after anyone, and frankly, I think him losing his job is punishment enough and he cant attack any more coworkers being without a job also.
one thing that the attorney told me to mention, though, is once i get to the appeal tribunal for my unemployment benefits, that I need to tell the hearing officer about the other guy's history of showing up to work drunk and getting into shouting matches with customers because Sams may at that point be guilty of negligent retention. The hearing officer for my unemployment appeal will be able to subpeona that personnel files and so if that gets uncovered, I may actually be able to protect myself and get the attention I need because if they had not kept this employee despite his history then he would not have been able to attack me, forcing me to defend myself with violence.
Adam Murphy
lol in texas unions are basicly illegal unless you work for the government. i dont have a good enough computer to do that but it would be pretty funny to make a shitty flash animation to get played in court, though i'm trying to be serious despite my tendency to have a lofty perception of reality.
if i didn't laugh i would cry. sometimes i do cry. usually i laugh. i have been told there was no security footage, and it was so close to the side of the building that I guess I can beleive that... though it happened right at an emergency fire exit with a camera pointing right at it. However, like i said, the officer who took my affidavit reviewed available footage and said there was no footage of the incident.
Asher Lewis
How are you 35 and pushing carts? You need to live your best life op, getting fired is a blessing in disguise and if you were on unemployment you would just do nothing for 8 months, and be in a somehow worse position than where you started. Being homeless is better than this, at least 100% of your time can be focused on improving yourself or learning a skill or just generally making you the most important project you are working on.
>I already pressed charges and so on. the police kind of shrugged their shoulders about it though, and I dont have the financial ability to go after anyone Well then it really doesn't matter, you're already doing everything you can with the unemployment stuff. Also you sound mentally disabled, you should probably just try to get on disability after this.

Lucas Reed
i doubt anyone cares but here i spent too much time blocking out the addresses and names so if anyone wants to make more jokes about me being schizo, retarded or autistic then uhhh here ya go.
ive been painting pictures again and as i mentioned have been getting some long needed dental work
with my medication i do fine and i have a very healthy body which my mind lives inside of and there is no job i am unwilling to do! i was even a cam whore in my early 20s but im not cute enough to do that anymore.
i only really look at youtube and pornhub anymore though im trying to get on deviant art and other stuff to try and sell my paintings
thank you thats really nice of you and i appreciate the sentiment
i'm not a smart person but I know how to work hard and i enjoy pushing my body to its meager physical limits (i'll never be a power lifter or body builder lol). I paint pictures but thats not really much of a source of income though I've made as much as 500 dollars on a commission, I typically only get between 20-200 dollars and at most one commission a month though usually more like one every three months. example of a painting i did for someone in the past attached.
