Outage Proof for Employer (Letterhead)

I was recently terminated for my job being unable to contact me for an assignment because my towers in my area were down. 

I was told that ATT doesn’t provide proof of outage to employers as far as a mailed letter with letterhead.

i was however able to get the nicest most empathetic supervisor to grant me an official ATT notification of the outage issue and details since I have been calling in since the incident day. 4/19… 

any other suggestions on how to attain more proof to help my grievance case?!

Unless you created a previous pattern of behavior that led your employer to the conclusion that you were just not responding, there is no reason for an employer to act so disrespectfully and the first time something occurs to blame the employee and discontinue their employment. That is not an employer that deserves to have anyone work for them.   

You are not the only person to say that their employer took out and outage on them. I remember somebody else posting right after the February outage that they were at risk of being fired.

If you got an “official ATT notification of the outage issue and details” from a supervisor, what more are you asking for?  Not sure of the question.

@dwill05 funny you may ask that. Again, I was asking if that should suffice? Since this is my first time going through this.. or am I missing something or other proofs I could get?? 

I feel like that official text should work. But it’s my first time going through being terminated from an outage.. so I guess I’m wondering if there are other ways or suggestions. I also have my proof from when it happened that day . Which are dated screenshots from Down Detector which is how I found out I wasn’t the only consumer affected.

No one here can tell you if what you got will suffice.  That will be a call your ex-employer will have to make.  🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@skeeterintexas I know that lol

 Again my question was really did anyone have any other suggestions on how to obtain any additional proof from ATT that they may know of.

But thank you

@JRose116 

Once you have submitted proof, and received an apology, tell that employer to kick rocks.
