Not saying anyone's racist but I think I got fired for being Black male in an altercation. Lidl warehouse in (graham, nc) has a no tolerance policy. April 6 2019 I was at work and a coworker put his hand on me. When my team lead asked me what happened I told him the truth, they asked the guy and he told him nothing happened at all. So they suspended us both with pto until they could investigate. Knowing you can only be but so right defending yourself all I asked if they could check the cameras. They claim they will but didn t. The cameras barely works in this establishment because I m pretty sure if they did they wouldn t have to mention about people stealing inventory everyday in the group meetings. The reason I m asking for cameras is equal perspective and you can clearly see the guy is not working and stopping me from doing my job at the time. I was in a totally different aisle then him and the altercation happened by my forklift truck where I was working. I didn t provoke this guy , just a conversation with big words got him furious enough grab me. As we tussle to the ground I told myself to just defend myself and don t hit him back. I couldn t believe this was even happening like I never imagined fighting at a place I work for. I asked how can I be penalized for this mans actions. I asked my manager (pharaoh) she said I shouldn t be talking at all. That s kinda hurtful seeing though everyone communicate and on top of that I was new and never trained properly. So yeah I did have to ask a few things here and there. I also showed up an hour early everyday and stayed late sometimes. Me losing the best job I ve ever had is unreal to me so I ask myself from the time they suspended me until now. Why me? The only realistic thing I can fathom is that a Black man in an altercation and rather them dealing with the problem the cut is both loose. The biggest lost I ever took was hoping to retire with this company I guess. Good luck and stay out the way to next man that might go through the bad luck I ve experienced
