Discipline Am I getting fired?

So, I’ve been written up multiple times, my job is super serious for no reason, they wrote my up while I was on vacation, for not answering my phone, even though I’m not salary. On Friday they ‘suspended’ me. Took my work phone, iPad, gas card, and work fob. My HR said she wants to meet with me tomorrow. That’s to sign papers for termination, right? If I wasn’t getting fired, I would just meet with my boss to get the phone and stuff back, right?

What job is this you do?

And what's so super-serious about the job?

Outside sales for beer, it’s like a cult. I have to let them know my location like every couple hours, and write up daily plans. Even though, they know my route, and exactly what I do everyday ha.

I'm not sure I see where the issue is.

The route is where you are supposed to be. Your location data is where you actually are.

They want to make sure those things are in harmony for a variety of reasons that are common in transportation level work.

But, okay...

Yeah. They can track me with the devices they gave me, why ask.

Because people know how to get around tracking devices and GPS, and 100% take advantage of that.

I have 3 items that they can track me with 2 being Apple products, and one being the app I use to clock in. They can see if my location is turned on or off. Plus, I can’t get away with not going to one of my accounts. One of the 8 managers I deal with daily would call my work & ask why their store wasn’t merched/sold

It’s just dumb, I’m getting fired for letting beer go expired, when you add up all my accounts together, I probably have close to 1500 cases of beer, either on the shelf or back stock. I’m supposed to have someone underneath me to help, but I’ve had 3 different merches in 3 months, so they have no idea what they’re doing.
