What is the name of your state?CA
About 80 employees at our company banded together, signed a petition of no confidence against our Manager and Director. Apparently, they faxed to our CEO last Friday. I knew about this petition but I was not included nor did i sign it. I'm the Director's assistant. The problem is my boss, the Director, "heard" from someone in mgmnt about comments I made about them and the petition. The person in mgmt also knew about the petition and has made their own opinions known. Everyone knew! Anyway, the comments were not true. Our conversation was actually about coffee and nothing else! Anyway.. long story short...My boss is asking for an investigation into my alleged comments. Okay.. now my question.. when HR interviews me regarding this.. can i just not confirm nor deny anything? Is heresay an actual terminable offense? There was no one in the room at the time. Just us. I'm so tired of all their crap. I don't feel like I have to justify if I did say or didn't say something. As you can see.. if 80 employees collectively got together and wrote up a letter.. there must be something wrong.. right?! Can I be fired for not telling my boss directly about a petition to get rid of him?!
