Meijer review: Employment ended over "background check" that I was up and honest with. ( 2 comments)

I was working at a distribution center in Holland, MI for almost a month. I jumped through their hoops, got a full physical, urine urinalysis while being forced to wear a mask inside a (Medical Facilty) for physical/uranalysis even though fully vaccinated. Passed both with flying colors, minus hearing is a little bad (served in the Army for 3 years, Infantry). I disclosed on the background check that I had a Domestic violence charge, from 4 years ago (Misdemeanor mind you). As well as a couple older charges I had 2 resisiting obstruction officers - Attempted, misdemeanors, even older than the 4 year domestic. ALL of the 3 charges are misdemeanors. I have not been in trouble or gained a new charge in 4 years. Am I not a contributing member of society? I feel embarrassed, and even more discriminated against. There was a person bragging there how they had a credit card fraud charge. A felony, and did prison time. Who is in charge of the hiring process? If you think I am a risk, then why did you let me through those doors to work waiting for the background check? Nope of course not! They throw you right into a understaff production facility. And expect you to float around doing 2-3 other peoples jobs yourself because they can't retain anyone there. They only answer I get on the background check is "General - Does not meet company standards" nothing else is said. Getting ahold of anyone is a complete and utter joke. You can't even find a E-Mail address for cooperate on google (I dare you try it). After looking at all of these reviews on multiple sights it's very easy to see that Meijer's only cares about profits. Not the customer, nor their employees.
I would like to point out that I have been living in a sober living house for almost 4 years in Holland, I have changed my life. I am not who I used to be, and I don't see how I'm a liability or whatever you'd have to prove in court more then the person who has credit card fraud. I wasn't absent, nor late once. Showed up and finished every shift. Did more than I should have. Never disrespected anyone, and always listened and did what I was told. So tell me Meijer's Do you believe that people can't be rehabillited. or change? Or do you only do favor's for certain members? I can't believe how unresponsive and unprofessional management is in this company.

When they ended your employment why did you not beat them like you did your wife? In get it you do not hit those who can stand up for themselves. You broke the law, you cannot be trusted. How are they to know that if someone says or does something you do not like that you will beat them up?

Keep your sobriety. Eventually, all else will fall into place. Discrimination sucks. Sorry you are being judged for your past. Unfortunately, domestic violence is a very serious issue; Even if it was a thing that happened 4 years ago. Some companies are just taking a stand against it. You will find another, better job if you keep your sobriety and don't let this drag you down.
