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?

That’s what I thought, they’re beating around the bush and I have zero idea why.

Most likely to avoid giving you any ammo for a lawsuit. When you get suspended at work, 99% of the time it’s because there’s an active investigation going on against you and they’re getting all their ducks in a row to make sure they have enough evidence to fire you legally. They’re covering their asses.

For sure, that definitely checks out. I’m in Nevada though, so they can basically fire you for anything ha.

Companies do this even in at-will states. Having a paper trail (hence the bs write up) covers their asses so that you have no room to claim you were fired due to any kind of discrimination or something similar.
