What is the name of your state? NY
I was working for a huge company. I have worked for them in CA previously and had a great record. Then, while working for them here in NY, an upper-management guy called me in told me they were looking at everything as an umbrella and were terminating my position which I thought meant, they were cutting my position, (down-sizing) not replacing me. I at the time, was up for another job within the company, and he told me I should go for that opportunity and them terminating my position should not affect my future with the company. Then a week later, I called because I had not heard back to schedule my interview for the other position. The woman (who works in HR) told me I was no longer eligible for that or any other position within the company and that the upper-management guy should not have told me that. She also said my termination was performance based for an incident that occured a week and a half before I was let go. I worked at least 12 shifts in-between the time that incident occured and the time I was let go.
Anyway...I am wondering if I have a meeting with them what I can ask for as an alternative to wrongful termination. I have already gotten a wondferful job with better pay and hours, and want to move on, but I may want to work for this company again back in CA and do not want this termination on record as being performance based. Is it even possible for the company to reverse the termination, destroy the records and have it on file as a lay-off or as me quitting?
