A whole lot of other shit went down, I stepped away from management because these people are so overdue for a lawsuit. I don’t need to be named in that shit. I complained to HR with months of documentation; near the end of the investigation, I had a death in the family. I took my three days of bereavement leave, and they fired me at-will the moment I got back. Textbook retaliation, they even said it outright in the meeting. You cannot make up this kind of heartlessness.
What they didn’t know is that I was interviewing for a perfect job the next morning, which was offered about four hours later. I now make 20% more to do half the work in twice the time; better tech and far less bullshit, too.
The downside is that it’s not worth suing my old employer, bc my situation only got better. No losses to sue for without getting complicated, and they play so dirty. Best revenge is a life well lived, l guess.
I’m still getting callbacks for other jobs I applied for; while I’m not available to work, I’ve heard that some people I trained on my old team might have been referred/fasttracked to those positions somehow…funny how that works.
