Since returning part-time from being on FML for 12 weeks I have been treated terribly at my job. There is a new director and a co-worker who used to have the same job I do is my supervisor. I was humiliated in front of the new director by my supervisor on 11/20/09. I was accused from everything to porn in my email to medicaid fraud due to an incorrect date documented while at a meeting. I can not begin to tell you how awful it was. I was not written up but told I would be required to take the orientation all over again if I am approved by my physician to return to my full time position. I’ve been there since 2005 and had my updated orientation in 2008. It is not required (in policies & procedures) to re-take it after returning from medical leave or from receiving a ‘bad’ review. I was told my work is ‘unacceptable’ even though I always met the deadlines! I know I am being harrassed but how to prove it? There’s no union and I felt like I was in a trial without an attorney. I dread going in even though it is just part-time due to my health condition. A few days letter the HR dept. sent me a letter making it clear that they are going to discuss my part-time position to see if it is ‘necessary’. They are trying to get rid of me no doubt. But I refuse to quit! They are bullying me for being ill.
help! My husband applied for the open positon of manager of his team of sales people. Another guy got the positon and ever since has been clearly singeling him out to make his job impossible. Others on the team have noticed the unique and unreasonable treatment . My husband was given a negative annual performance in contrast to consisitant high ratings from the previous boss. And, the eval was only after 3 mos with the new boss and gave no criteria for the rating. Now my husband has been put on a performance plan that is for an unusual 30 days, and even after his raising his sales ranking from 15th to 7th. Typically the company does 90 days. It is clear that the new boss is trying to drive my husband out. There are other open positions in the company and other managers that would like to have him work for them, but because of the bogus review he is prevented from transferring. We think that at least the company would respond to contact by a lawyer with perhaps an severence, is there is just no other recourse for us, but we cannot find attorneys who will spend their time on such a small potatoe. We would at least like to get some advice on how to best navigate this mess. Do you have any advice?
