A month ago, I was “let go” from my job. The day my employer let me go, he assured me that my job performance had been fine, and that I had been a “good fit” with the other employees…they simply didn’t have time to train me for the position that they hired me for, and had decided to hire a “trained, compliance officer” who had already been through the training, tests etc…and could just step in and take the position and duties over.
There were circumstances in play at the time (which are too lengthy to recount here), but suffice it to say that I strongly suspected that they might be in league with the employer who I had left to take that job…to teach me a lesson…and get even with me for leaving the first employer, and for filing a claim against him with the labor board. The first and second employers were “good buddies”, and had been for years.
Bear in mind that I have been gone for a month now…yet things continue to unfold. Below is the updated list of reasons that they claim for my dismissal, with the dates that each was added:
1– No time to train me (the reason that they gave me, when they let me go). Sept 29
2- Excessive use of internet and email (the reason that they gave the labor board in an attempt to keep me from collecting unemployment benefits).
Mid October
3 – They found out I was writing a novel (the reason they gave one of the brokers recently, when she inquired directly about my dismissal) November 2
Holy cow…I only wish that I were writing a novel! How bizarre is all of this?! To top it off…they posted an ad yesterday…online, for my position…with no mention of compliance training. All of this is, to me, further assurance that my original suspicions were correct. What I don’t understand, is why a group of professional, educated people, don’t have the sense to at least get together and decide on which lie to tell…and stick to it…together.
Be Well!
