What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
I was a recruiter for a trucking company and was let go from my position 2 weeks ago. The details around the event were i had an initial 90 day review which everyone has and in the review they had noted my performance wasnt quite up to what they wanted so far and werent sure if the job was a right fit for me yet. It was standard review stuff outlining what i needed to work on and that they wanted me to get my recruiting numbers up to a certain range , not to miss any days within a 2 month period and then some sort of further action/meeting would take place at that time. I asked my manager during the meeting that if i didnt hit that certain number what could happen, and it was pretty lofty so i asked what the details were. She said we will see when that point rolls around but as long as im making progress i should be good. I put in the extra effort and time and raised my numbers but about 2.5 months later i was called into the office and the manager/hr rep said that because i wasnt at what they wanted they would be letting me go.
She thanked me for my effort and as i was gathering my stuff told me she would write me a letter of recommendation,etc, and that they wouldnt challenge me if i filed for unemployment. Well i received a letter today from iowa workforce development about doing a fact finding interview because the issue has to be resolved : discharged. I imagine this means they are contesting my unemployment. Is there any advice/do i have a shot at collecting? I was under the assumption after she told me that i would be ok to file that i wouldnt run into any problems but here i am. Thanks.
