I live and work in NJ for a multi-billion dollar company. Recently the company underwent an organizational change and after that few others already been fired. Even the SVP resigned.
My story goes like this; my department has 3 others that are like me covering the United States. My area of coverage has the biggest customer for the company, but because there was a manufacturing defect in one of the products there was a lot of money that the company has to pay out because of that.
I have a proven successful record and been awarded many times for a job well done from senior management and I always get great feedback from them for doing a great job.
On one of the projects my direct report or 1st boss requested for me to put together schedules to support the project and there were a lot of confusions, so after many email exchanges I requested that we have a conference call to clear things up, but it was all denied. By the way, we all work from home. I ended on one of the emails that at the end of the day the team's success is dependant on the leadership of the 1st boss. After that email, I got an earful from the 1st boss and he accused me of insubornation among other things.
Few weeks later, the company made an organizational change where all my daily works do not report to the 1st boss rather a co-worker of mine that is at the same level as me that was just recently hired is now the project manager and I am to report all works to him. However, my 1st boss is still responsible for all administration stuff that I report to him on.
I worked relentlessly and professionally with the new project manager. Remember the PM was at the same level as me and we both report to the 1st boss. Last week my 1st boss wanted me to go somewhere else out of my schedules to do something and I immediately called his boss or the VP and he informed that I need to follow the directions of the PM not the 1st boss. I did whatever the PM wanted me to do. This week I came to find out that the 1st boss has written me up with a list of not true reasons and deliberately trying to sabotage my career. It just so happen that we get our bonuses next week, but I called HR and they told me that I will not get my bonus because I got written up.
The reasons for the write up are so lame and not true when I confronted the PM. He told me that the 1st boss called him and asked about my work and he just told him what our schedules were and so on. On the write up everything is the opposite what the PM is telling me.
I think I am being targeted to get fired because I am paid fairly high compared to others in the same position. However, I been with the company the longest.
Is this legal? When I called HR even the HR person told me that my pay and job expectations do not add up and that I need to think seriously about my job and work things out with the PM and the 1st boss. The thing is I am doing what everyone else is doing that is in same position and in fact I know I am doing a lot more than the others because I have the biggest customer and I work my butt off.
