I was let go for as a "business decision". I was with the company 6 years. I was a team leader and had an employee who was slandering me to other employees, I brought this up and had a heated argument about the lady in a meeting. The meeting was because she kept accusing me of yelling at her and picking on her and she would run to HR. I had emailed HR prior and they said I had to deal with my leader, I told them I had and now I needed the help of HR and they refused. This led to this meeting with HR, my leader, the employee and myself where I stated what had been happening. Roughly 6 months later I was terminated and so was the other employee. As people talked it turns out the other employee was trying to get fired for a severance package. They fired both of us on the same day but said it was just a business decision.
