I have been working at an office for about 4 months now, and I was offered another position at a different office with a higher pay. I went to my current employer on Fri Dec 11th and explained the situation and inquired about the process of getting a raise, when/if he would be able to provide something like that. When I first accepted my current position my employer had mentioned he would be able to give me a raise around 3-4 months anyways. He offered me an incredible raise, and said he didn't need to think the raise over that I just needed to get back to him with my answer when I was ready. By no means had I gone into the meeting anticipating him helping me that way he had purposed, nor had I even thought the would be able to provide a raise right away. I was anticipating near the 6 month mark. On the following Monday, he spoke to one of my coworkers and stated I had asked for an "outrageous" raise and he was considering letting me go. My coworker spoke to me the same day, and I decided I would put my 2 weeks in the following day. So the following day (Dec 15th), I went in and spoke to my boss, he offered me the same deal, asked what I thought about it...and I just decided I wanted out of this place and gave him my two weeks notice. He said he was happy for me, wanted me to follow by passion...etc. We decided I would end working on the 23rd (when the office was closed for the holidays. On Friday the 18th, he pulled me into his office and told me 20 mins before my shift ended that I was done. He said that I screwed him over and he had to do what was right for his company. I was not impressed and left politely. I am now hearing that he spoke to that same coworker today (Dec 21) and told her that he was happy with what happened because I was asking for a higher salary than my coworker. I don't think he should be disclosing this information to her and I have a gut feeling he is telling more than just my coworker about my personal situation. Regardless, that’s the basics of the situation. I just wanted to touch base with someone about my rights, and what I am entitled to. Thanks for your time. Have a wonderful day. Kalynn
I have worked for a company since 1985 and I am still there because they will not pay me a severance, so I am forced to work. I am 68 years of age. After all the years of employment, do I just walk out without nothing?
I was dismissed from a roofing company two weeks before Christmas they said for poor attitude (they said I complained about long hours) I was not warned verbally or in writing first, it was a shock frankly. I would just like to know if it is legal to do such a thing before the holidays? If so then thank you for your time. If not what steps do I take to bring a wrongful dismissal case against my ex employer? Thank You for your time.
I have been employed at a grocery store for almost 3 years. for the last 8 months was the meat wrapper. The last 2 days they put me back on the meat counter to help out there because the ladies on the counter are inept. went into work sunday and was told to wait because they wanted to speak to me. told me that they have me on camera giving customers deals... no way... they wouldn't show me the video. just something i wouldn't do.
