Add Comment Question: I wasn’t an office manager at a dental office for the past 6 months. A co-worker found emails exchanged between another co-worker and my regional manager. The co-worker was speaking very low of me, saying nagative remarks on how she feels that I shouldn’t be a manager. She was creating false situations and accusing me of doing things that I was not. When I was given the emails, I brought them to the owners attention as I have had many issues with my regional manager discriminating me because of my age and acting as a bully towards me and other employees. The other employee she was emailing has also had many issues with other staff members. I have everything documented. After I spoke to the owner about this, he said he was aware of them “talking” but wasn’t okay with how negative it was. He said he was going to talk to them...I ended up getting fired with the employee that found the emails on Monday. No warnings or write ups were given to me or the other employee. She found the emails in an email she had open access to. The other co-worker and regional manager still have jobs and did not get in trouble for all of the gossip and undermining that has been going on ever since I started. I have no issues with any other staff members in fact I have very positive relationships with the rest of the entire team. Was our dismissals wrongful? I was not given a reason and did not ask why as I know I got fired for doing the right thing. Answer: Thank you for your question.
