What is the name of your state? COLORADO
(sorry, couldn't be more brief)
Without warning, on 12/10/03, I was fired for “job abandonment without management approval” that occurred 11/23/03. I was a salaried customer service manager. Paid for 8, scheduled for 10. I notified the only other csm on duty and said I’d be leaving one hour early…working 9 hours instead of 10. She was aware of my early departure and raised no concerns about doing so.
With or with management approval, managers don’t always work a full 10 hours. For example, the csm who is scheduled for the graveyard shift barely makes it past 8 hours. Her early departures have been addressed by upper management, and her trend continues. Upper management has been overly vocal regarding her leaving early, but discipline has yet to be enforced. It’s been said because her shift is not desirable, she is allowed to carry on the way she does. Her attendance, job performance, and attitude have given her a hugely negative reputation, but she still has a job.
Two to three months ago, I had an annual performance review. I scored well and was praised for numerous accomplishments. No negative issues or concerns were mentioned.
The work environment is pretty rough. There is a tremendous amount of foul language, slander, and derogatory comments. Another manager on an equal level with me, was well known for this type of behavior and was not pleasant to be near. He didn’t care for me much because I chose not to join in the bantering. In a staff meeting, he even addressed me as a “holy roller.” Having never heard that before, I assume it’s a bash against someone with good morals who doesn’t use foul language. Ironically, he was promoted and at the time of my termination, was my direct superior. I strongly feel like I didn’t fit in. I also feel as if I was “let go” because of this.
I don’t know if I have a case or not. I also don’t know what other relevant issues can be brought to the table to possibly reinforce this.
I’m not fitting to get my job back. Honestly, they did me a favor by removing me from an unhealthy work environment. What I want is to possibly get compensated and/or have the “fired” label removed from my file.
Help!
