What is the name of your state? Nebraska
My previous position was eliminated because of department cutbacks. The company told us that we had 60 days to find a job back in the company to have no break in our benefits. Also in this time we would be considered internal candidates. I applied for numerous positions that I was completely qualified for, but never even got a first interview. I am wondering if there is anything that could have been put in my personal file that could be hindering me from being rehired. The only incident that had ever come up was when a girl threatened to quit in hope of getting more money ( we all got a raise so we were all basically making the same, she thought she did more and should make more then me) so when they didn’t counter offer she got upset. She said some things about me and another girl, things like we verbally abused her and made fun of her clothes, a ton of stupid caddy women stuff (more things then I care to or have time to type out). Our supervisor was called in to discuss is and told them not to believe things from a person that stole from the company (another long story) so because they dropped it, it shouldn’t have gotten into my file… Anyway I’m getting off track. What I want to know is do I have the right to see what’s in my personnel file? If I do how do I go about it? I’m afraid that if I call and make an appointment to see it that will give them time to remove things that I wouldn’t know was in there. Is that being a bit paranoid?
Also I just found out today that they are now hiring three more people in my department and they had let 3 of us go 4 months ago. That feels like a shot in the back.
