Civil rights violation
Gave notice and worked greater than 30 days to train my replacement. My employer told my new employer that I had 28 days unexcused absences and was in a psych hospital. She neglected to say it was only 4 days due to ptsd exacerbation related to being isolated from family and friends due to being forced to work every weekend for 3 years. I was one of 4 nurses. The others would not work weekends. Despite the defamatory remarks by previous employer I did get hired only to find out they would be closing in 60 days. Why would they attract new staff if they were closing. Now I have to look for work again in a rural area. I have to list references but am fearful my previous employer will say untrue negative remarks about me again. I have been a nurse for 27 years. I've never been fired. Feeling very worried at this point. What should I do?
Susan; You gave notice and worked greater than 30 days to train your replacement. Your Employer told the new Employer that you had 28 days excused absences and was in a Psych. Hospital. I am so sorry this has happened to you. I am confident you will find another job where it will work out for u. Gayle Myers
