Hi all, if I could get some insight from shifts or potentially store managers, really anyone that understands the policy better than me, that'd be greatly appreciated.

I received a final termination notice, with no prior warnings or written coachings, after a shift where my shift lead at the time found coverage for me, something came up directly before my shift started and I couldn't work it, I was told I was good, so I figured I was good.

Until I got a final termination notice for shift abandonment the next week or so. I was told by my DM that even though the shift was covered, I abandoned my shift because I wasn't the one who found coverage. No prior warnings.

I was fired the day after I called in sick, I was so nauseous I couldn't leave my bed, let alone drive, but I was told unless it was contagious, I had to come in, I couldn't, and was subsequently fired the next day, even after my store manager told me I wasn't.

After struggling to find employment since, I decided to try and apply for unemployment benefits, they were approved, but Starbucks is appealing and I have a hearing in about 2 weeks. Should I be worried? Does anyone have any advice?

Edit: first screenshot is from the shift lead, the next two are the store manager the day before I was terminated
