I was the office manager for an accounting firm for over 12 years. An employee purchased the business January of 2014(ROE on file for the sale). While that employee and I were co-workers, she had an attitude towards me. As soon as she became the owner she immediately demoted me, without my knowledge, I was informed by a client that on our company's website I no longer had my title, when I confronted the new owner, she reinstated my management position. In the last 2 year she has continuously undermined my position, my work, and spoke down to me in front of my subordinates, and co-workers. In the past few weeks the new owner received a couple of complaints from clients about my dealings with them. I was not inform of this until the afternoon of October 5, 2016, I requested a meeting to discuss it, I was not giving any opportunity to give my side of the story, just that they were the client and they were right, even to the point of being called a liar, at that moment I was very upset (I take my job and clients very serious) I did not want the conversation to escalate out of control, while crying I left the new owners office and went home. Upon returning to work (October 11 2016), I was giving a letter of termination effective immediately, (with 8 weeks severance included), without any verbal or written warning. I have never received any type of warnings from the the new owner since she purchased the business. I said to the new owner, "This isn't right we need to discuss this with my side of the situation being part of the conversation" her response "Too late this cannot be fixed , I have put a box on your desk, please take all personal belongings and good bye" If you would like any verification from co-workers on the situation and attitude that the new owner had towards me I can provide the information for you to be able to contact them.
