This is a temp job placement agency that I worked with in St. Louis. I was on reserve status for the military and was looking for work. I worked for awhile at Hussmann Refrigeration, and after my assignment was up, they asked for me by name when they had another assignment. After that assignment was completed I took an assignment at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. While working there, people on my base were being mobilized for deployment to Afghanistan and I pulled a day of active duty time on my base to help. I emailed my contact at Spherion, and three different people at Wells Fargo letting them know that I would not be in that day because of a military obligation and that I could bring paperwork in (my official military orders) to excuse my absense. Instead I went to Wells Fargo, went to my business as usual and then a couple hours later, Jeanette Baugh my contact from Spherion came to Wells Fargo. She wanted to talk to me. I followed her waiting for her to say something, she led me out of the suite and down the elevator in the lobby where I was told I was being fired. That's right, fired for missing a day of work for serving on active duty time, this is against the federal law. The look on her face was priceless when I flashed my orders in front of her and walked out the door. I went straight to the base and talked with our JAG officers about it and they were ready to take it to the extent. I decided it was not worth it, I was better off not working through them anyways. I was able to get my own business off the ground and it has become very lucrative, so they did me a favor.
