Working at Tech Data in Fort Worth, TX: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Fort Worth, TX Area

"I worked for Tech Data for about two years, from about June 2016 through May 2018. During the earlier part of my employment, there were no issues; I worked peacefully at my station by myself as a void fill operator without any problems with supervisors or other employees. In early 2018, a woman in her late 20s told me, while on the job, confidential stories about her personal relationship, and that when she was 19, she first became involved in an intimate relationship with her 14-year-old boyfriend. I was quite astonished that somebody would tell me this while at work. When I told other employees and management, one of the managing staff, told me not to dare say anything about it, appearing to defend the woman. At that point forward, Tech Data began building a file, alleging numerous things from being too loud, to damaging equipment. Furthermore, a man in his early 50s was making inappropriate remarks to and coercing an 18-year-old girl who worked there, and, in my personal opinion, believing that was wrong, raised an objection, when he responded to me, rudely and loudly, almost appearing to acknowledge his wrongdoing, “You know what? I don’t like you anymore! Don’t talk to me!”. In May 2018, I was escorted from my workstation to the manager’s office, where I was told that I was terminated, and managers Karen McGrew and Nicole Monette, who were present, made sarcastic remarks, smiled and joked about the matter, and, while smiling, told me that I spit on the equipment, which was untrue, along with other similar allegations. I had applied for unemployment benefits which were initially denied due to Tech Data’s allegations, however, in my appeal, which was successful, and based on these facts, Texas Workforce Commission ruled that I was not at fault. Tech Data was a good company, and there were many nice employees who I enjoyed working with, however, I believe that towards the end of my employment there, I was treated very badly by management."
