What is the name of your state?CALIFORNIA
I currently work for a manufacturing company as a purchasing agent. Towards the end of July, my wife and I began considering to relocate to another state. I mentioned this to my boss and some of my co-workers in an attempt to be open and up front with them that I might be leaving in the next couple of months. I did not tell them I was leaving and did not give them any dates, other than that we would be taking a vacation in the next month or so to do some scouting in other locations. Within a week, they placed an ad an began interviewing for another purchasing agent. I was told by my direct boss that if I chose not to leave, then he would convince the owner of the need to keep all employees due to the workload (which is true!). 2 weeks ago, the controller came and requested that I fill out a form of resignation. I refused and told him that we had not made a decision to move yet and therefore had not planned on leaving the company. My wife and I are leaving on our vacation this week and I received a signed letter stating that my last day would be Sept 30 as stated by me when I gave notice in July in personal coversations with co-workers. This statement was signed by several high ranking individuals in the company stating that I had indeed gave verbal notice. Is there any way I can dispute this or is it just a case of my word against theirs? I did not give a verbal or written notice to any effect other than discussing upcoming personal options that my family might be looking into.
