Hey guys, I worked for Target about a year ago. I was there for about 6 months. I ended up leaving without notice, so I assume I was marked non-rehireable. But it goes a bit deeper than that...
The reason I gave no notice was because I was depressed and suicidal and was unexpectedly committed to a mental institution by one of my family members for a week. By the time I got out I didn't bother to call and tell them, since a) I figured my job was already lost anyway, b) I wasn't even sure if I was going to be alive in the next few days, much less worrying about my job at Target and c) it's so f**king embarrassing to admit you got committed to a mental institution.
The thing is, while there I had a stellar record. All the ETLs liked me and praised my work ethic countless times. I never called out or was late a SINGLE DAY in 6 months and even came in to many shifts I wasn't scheduled when they needed me. They relied on me so much to the point where I was their first choice if they only had a single person in our department (aside from the TL obviously.)
Anyway, it's been about a year since then. Luckily my mental health is much better, and I'll be back in my old home town soon and I'm wondering if I have any chance whatsoever of getting my old job back. I really enjoyed it, my coworkers were cool, and the pay was relatively decent for the area. I would think the extenuating circumstances and the fact that I was a stellar employee would help my case, but for all I know there's no exceptions under any circumstances and I shouldn't bother wasting my time and bearing my soul by telling the truth (which will still be very embarrassing!) all for nothing. I read some threads here that said there's a time limit on nonrehireable, is that true? I've seen a lot of contradicting info on this. Thanks to anyone who can help!
