I know someone who was fired from a long time of being
employed with a major corporation that most definitely is a
household name. This employee honestly forgot to do
something, yet it was nothing that did any harm to any
other employee. Other employees have committed similar
infractions and are still in their positions. I thing
possibly the clincher here is that this man sustained a
work injury in 2001, had major surgery and went through a
year of PT until he was able to go back to work. His work
record has always been as his manager stated "unblemished"
until this time of forgetting something. The company has
not followed their own regulations in his appeal process as
to how long it takes them to review this case nor did they
follow a governmental regulation set forth for them. This
employee is considering filing suit if he is not reinstated
not only due to this possibly being over the disablity, but
age and possibly race. Also, this corporation is in the
midst of a downsizing which is not well known. They just
asked many employees to retire early so they can boost
their stock prices. Any info would be helpful at this
point.
