| Oh No She Di-N |
| Monday, March 17, 2008 |
I got in touch with the HR lady with my old company today. I asked her had they looked into my termination and made a decision. Her response (and I'm paraphrasing): After review, I found we have had several similiar situations in the past where an employee employed a relative or friend in a situation where they were responsible for reviewing invoices or time cards, and all were handled in the same manner as your termination. So we do not feel you were terminated wrongfully.
I said "Really?!?" (with sarcasm) "And the situation in Warner Robins where the manager is employing her brother-in-law?" She said she couldn't discuss other people with me, as she wouldn't discuss me with others.
So I closed the conversation by saying, I would like a copy of the Operations Manual where this "company policy" is supposedly written, and a copy of the documents where I signed saying I received an Operations Manual (because the only manual I signed in receipt of is a "Policy Manual" which doesn't list it as a policy.) I also told her, she would hear more from me. (In the form of a law suit, but she doesn't know that.)
And then she said....(and I quote; no paraphrase here) "If there is anything else we can help you with during this transition, let us know." ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! You fired me on bogus grounds, refuse to look into it. And then offer to help me during my "transition." She better be glad that conversation took place across state lines, because I was just pissed enough to do something stupid at that moment!
Immediately after hanging up the phone, I downloaded the EEOC form to file a claim, filled it out and stuck it in the mail to the Atlanta Office. Oh...she'll defininately be hearing from me!Labels: eeoc, wrongful termination |

We'll time is almost up for my old company to make a decision. Thursday will be 3 weeks since I spoke with Human Resources for my old company. Remember, I told her I would follow up with her in 3 weeks because I thought that was plenty of time for her to investigate my termination and make a decision as far as wrongful termination and discrimination. As of today, my old boss still has a job, which tells me one of two things. Either they haven't bothered to look into the situation, or they aren't going to.
I have already talked with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) who has said based on my information I have grounds for a claim. This doesn't mean I will win the claim. Filing a discrimination suit is different than just filing a law suit. In State and Federal Court, any one call file suit against anyone (or thing for that matter). If the suit is frivolous, then it is dismissed, or a ruling for the defendant is given. But to file a discrimination suit, you first have to file a claim with the EEOC, and then file suit. But you have to basically have permission to file a claim. If I don't like the answers I get from HR on Thursday, then I will file a claim on Friday.
I haven't told them I was going to file a claim, because my intentions are not to sound threatening. My intention is to resolve this outside of court. If that can't be done, then I will have no choice but to use the court system for what it is for...justice.Labels: discrimination, eeoc, wrongful termination |
