What is the name of your state? NJ, but I work in NYC
I was fired last week, told it "wasn't working out." they gave me a list of reasons they weren't happy with me, things that had never come up before. things they had never asked me to fix or change.
it gets better: five weeks ago, they rearranged my department, giving me twice ad much work for the same $$. repeatedly,my immediate boss told how much they liked me and that she didn't want to lose me. she waxed about my talent and was sure i could handle the new responsibilites. she made it very clear that she wanted me to stay.
three weeks ago, i found an apartment i wanted to buy--my boss was aware i was looking--and i went into said boss's office to ask how secure the "new" job was. were contracts signed, were we doing well, should i make an offer on the property. boss tells me things are fine, that my job is safe, bid on the property.
so i did. and then was fired two hours before i was about to sign contract. my boss knew this. when she fired me, she offered only the "it's not working out" excuse and only for portions of my job that had never been in question. in essence, i had yet to even start most of the new duties, and i'd been assured my job was safe.
i came back at my boss with both; what she'd said 5 weeks ago, what she'd said 3 weeks ago. all she said was "i'm sorry."
did she fire me before i signed the contract because she, out of some odd sense of decency and guilt, didn't want me to lose my huge deposit, because she'd since found out they needed to get rid of me? the timing is all very suspicious.
how can they tell me on one day that my job is safe and secure long term, that they love me, that they don't want to lose me. and then weeks later say it isn't working out?????
