This le with me from the get-go, and when she read “my statement” back to me, she had it very incorrect – maybe she already had her mind made up.
Before I go any further, I should state that I appeal this decision, and I also appeal the charges quoted above, as well as the $752.00 penalty.
Here is my statement, it is the truth and I hope to be vindicated by an appeals board:
I request that you first look in to my work history; from July 2011 until the separation date I didn’t have a single complaint or negative remark (verbal or written) in my file or regarding my work in general. I was highly sought after by clients, the office of vocational rehab and the families of clients.
I will save a long drawn out history, only to say this – on the day I was brought in to the office for what turned out to be a separation meeting what the GM says happened and what I know happened are two very polar opposites. On that very day it was divulged to me that my main boss (Ashley Devine-Upchurch), along with other employees, including an owner (of which, there were three), were plotting to start a competing business to Path Forward, using existing company resources, contacts, time and money. Please keep this in mind for the conclusion of this explanation. isions I had been making (and had been given the responsibility of making) since day one on the job. I was to be at this job interview for approx. 90 minutes (including taking the client to and from) and then show up to the aforementioned location.
It is also imperative that you understand that Brittany had only been my GM for approx. 3 weeks at this time and I had never once been told to act any differently, nor to perform my job tasks in a different manner.
So, you may ask yourself why was I “fired”, why did I supposedly lie about it, and basically went wrong? I can understand this, and the following is what I know to be true.
