What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
My supervisor was demoted today back to her old job and shift. She isn't even out of her 90 day introductory period. The reason they gave her is that they 'feel she has become too stressed since taking the position". She has been intimidated and badgered since she was given the job and never been allowed to make the decisions afforded to our previous supervisor. They also told her it was effective immediately and that they have already hired an outsider to take her place starting tomorrow..and they want her to train the new person!
This is humiliating of course, but I'm wondering how they can make their own determination of 'her being stressed' when she has never been spoken to about poor performance or anything else. Myself and the other members of her team have been very happy with her as our supervisor and we stand behind her 100%. For all we know they could have hired a friend or relative to take her place and why didn't they offer the position to the rest of the team if they didn't feel she was doing a good job? Is there any kind of breach of contract going on here between her and the company? Just curious if there is anything she can do.
The intimidation has been witnessed by all of us.
