Forced Resignation?
I lost my position due to a post on LinkedIn. The post stated that I was looking for opportunities. I was a told by my manager that it wasn't appropriate for a supervisor to post something like that and that she was going to take it as my resignation effective immediately. There was nothing I could do. I was asked to pack my things quietly and not speak with anyone. I was followed to my desk, watched while I packed, and escorted from the building by my manager. She then told everyone that I quit.
Is this legal? Who can I speak with? I was there for almost 7 years... Loved my position and was great at it. #termination #management #advice #legal #employeelaw
Rule #1 do not follow people from work before you start looking. Do not change status as open for work. LEAVE it alone and apply via indeed or linkedin directly. I have done it few times and no one ever knew I found new job. Same goes for social media.
@Cynde Helke I'm so sorry this happened to you! I don't feel like it is a fireable offense to be looking at other employment opportunities outside of work. But I know a lot of companies feel differently. I do not think it was appropriate for you to be pushed out of your job like that, but maybe your manager was feeling betrayed and lashed out. If you can afford a lawyer and want your old job back now, there may be a way to salvage it. Although I doubt any legal action you take is going to change how your manager feels about this. Perhaps you were right to want to leave and this is one of many signs it's time to move on to bigger and better things! Let this Community know how we can help you through this! Good Luck! 💖
It sounds terrible. I'm sorry you are going through all this stuff. I don't have any experience being in this situation, but I would consult a lawyer.
You definitely need to speak to the Labor board. Also prepare a statement for unemployment in detail as to what happened. You will want to fight for it. Sounds to me like she had it out for you and was threatened in some way. I hope she gets in trouble for lying. I would be interested in what her bosses would have to say is if you told them she lied.
Supervisors live with a target on their back. You were obviously outed by a coworker or subordinated who was gunning for a way up and you were an obstacle. Sorry.
You were dimed out by a co-worker, either below you, at your level, or above you. Always beware of co-workers. And stay away from SM.
