What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Texas
Good afternoon,
I just received notification that my unemployment is going to a hearing. I pretty much figured that would be the case as my previous boss is saying that my leaving was mutual. That couldn't be further from the truth. I was hired in a professional position, but was being delegated nothing but physical labor for 4 of the 6 weeks I was employed. When I let my boss know that I was unhappy, she told me that they misrepresented the job to me and that there wasn't going to be much of the work I was hired to do. That certainly wasn't what I was expecting to hear. Several days later, she approached me again (with no one around) and asked me what my problem was. I asked what she meant and she said it seemed I was still unhappy. I told her I was. After going over the same details, she said that my unhappiness was affecting others around me and that it would be best if I left as the job wasn't going to work out as they had told me when I was hired. She told me my last day was going to be that Friday. This happened on Wednesday. Wednesday evening I sent an email to the president of the non-profit. He's the one who hired me and I wanted to let him know how unfair I felt I was being treated. Needless to say the next day when I came in, she became hostile with me for contacting him. She accused me lying. I tried to defend myself, but she became more ugly, so I just went back to what I was working on. When I went to lunch several hours later, she called and told me not to come back at all. Now she is disputing my charge for unemployment, saying it was a mutual decision, which is a lie. She also stated in writing that I was insubordinate to her and was irritated when assigned tasks. This is a complete and bold face lie. I was in tears yes, but never insubordinate. She is lying. What recourse do I have?
Please advise,
Thanx!
