Hello there, I was hired to be a sales manager for a company. 6 months ago. Upon starting I was not allowed to manage the whole sales team. There were different rules for different people. The Business has over 50 employees and during staff meetings the owner would put the staff down in front of one another. Making them feel degraded and demoralized. I thought that I was actually helping to support my team. The owner then brought on a life coach, again which i thought was going to help the business change its ways. Just over two weeks ago I was brought into his office and told that we were not working well together. He asked me to write a list of my big rocks (hinderances or problems) and that we would work together to make his business succeed with his life coach. At the same time he asked me my opinions on lowering another employees wages. (consequently one was my husband) He threatened me and said that I was responsible for some bad results for his KPI's and I advised that this was not part of my responsibilities. Based on information from the life coach. He then told me that my communication skills were not up to par and I had three weeks to resolve my issues. He also advised that I was brought on to be a consultant and I should be helping make his company profitable. I completed my report, with my "big rocks" and possible solutions. Which I worked hard on to not place blame or list the actual financial and physical problems. As I knew then this was the end of my employment. Then spent two hours discussing the problems thinking that this would actually help his failing company. Last week the life coach sent a report basically changing my list into a witch hunt on the president. I was then Permanently laid off due to restructuring. I was given two weeks in leiu of notice. Which I know is fair for termination pay. However. I feel that I was harassed, my role was changed several times without documentation. I received a raise in the first month and a half for doing a good job. Consequently the Controllers son was also working at the company. He was hired while I was on vacation and his management (which was previously part of my job) was then assigned to another manager. At that time I thought it was to improve the business and help support the staff. As it turns out he has now been promoted into my role. I feel I will now be used as a scapegoat for all company problems. That this could effect my chances of securing another job in the insurance industry. I feel harassed and degraded. I was actually told in a management meeting that a prior employee set me up to fail. So I guess my question is, do they have the right to treat people unfairly? Make them fear for the loss of their jobs and degrade them? Move them and not give proper direction or guidance. Do I have any ground to stand on? I have not signed any documentation as they only presented me with a termination letter.
in the release letter it said "having reviewed our future requirements we must inform you that your services are no longer required. Is this redundancy
