I work (worked?) for a well known academic institution. I’ve been having problem with my boss for a few months, I have proof he has been lying about my work performance and it finally came to a head when our Director of Business Operations and HR met with me yesterday to tell me that I’m ‘not a good fit’ for my role and to ‘decide what I’d like to do next by Tuesday’
Well the thing is, they haven’t fired me yet. My badge still works, I haven’t been asked to turn in my laptop. But today I was told by a coworker that they were asked to cover my position since I wouldn’t be here. Not once in my conversation yesterday was I told to not show up?
Note that I received disability accommodations Monday this week but was told ‘this has been in the works for a while’ yet I had vacation time and a cellphone stipend approved earlier this week.
So what gives? I get they’re trying to make me quit but by not firing me either I’m kind of in a state of limbo. Where do I go next? Besides to a lawyer? Is this how employers are letting people go these days??
