What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My current employer is going through layoff because of lack of business and also because of offshore the manufacture. So almost all of us are expecting notice sooner of later. (It has been 6 round of last year already).
To my surprise, my manager gave me a very bad review just two days ago, and all the reasons given are not true and all are subjective. (There is no violation of company policy here). And I had a meeting with HR to express my disagreement. But HR director told me that I have every right to disagree but I have choice to either comply with my manager or not comply (and she hinted for me to quit). I had good intention to comply before I talk to HR and now I just feel they are trying to conner me so that they can fire me. (I really did not know anything I did wrong and my manager was not willing to give me any example).
By reading the posts here, I understand that they have every right to fire me if they want. However, can they do this in purpose of saving severance package?
BTW, I am exempt salary employee.
