I was terminated from my job, over three weeks ago. I was placed on two weeks redeployment with the company. Didn't find another job internally, so I am now on an 8 week workforce reduction program. With pay and severance at the end of the 8 weeks. Here's my problem, I was told it was a business decisionand the position was no longer needed. Basically, terminated the role.
Well, today I saw that they reposted my exact position. So, how can I be workforce reduced? Obviously, I was lied to. I'm so upset, because not only did I lose my job, now those in the company who were told what I was told, will now know otherwise. As if, I did something to lose my job.
How can this be happening? What should I do here?
