I have worked as an on-air radio broadcaster, as a news anchor and reporter, for 15 years. At the last station I worked at, I did have contract, which said if I broke it, I would not be able to work on-air at a radio station in the same market for the duration of the contract - which is an additional year. This isn't the problem, though. The general manager of the station had a very cozy relationship w/a subordinate, so cozy that a majority of people responded negatively about the twosome in an annual management survey and members of the corporate office actually held a meeting to say that the two 'weren't sleeping together'. The female subordinate got a promotion she wasn't qualified for, and more and more bonuses, until New years eve, when she and the rest of her staff were given an extra day off. No paperwork, no vacation time available, nothing - just a "gimme" day. When I asked the manager why, he lied and said they all had the time coming to them for earned vacation days. I made a complaint to the corporate HQ, saying this was the type of favortism that was causing problems. Then a scheduled pay raise for me failed to materialize and I ended up quitting. I applied for ajob at a tv station and the owner forwarded me an email from my boss -the email I sent when I quit, with the comments my co-worker had added reading, 'can you believe this ****ing psycho bitch?' I didn't get the TV job. Another former co-worker is suing the company and the general manager for age discrimination and wrongful termination. What should I do? I didn't get the job I applied for because my former coworkers made me out to be crazy and unstable, all because I quit when I realized I had no future with this company.
