My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: VA
Is VA an at will state?
I have not received a review in over 5 years, under two different VPs, although I have requested one numerous times and have filled out my end of that review. I am under the impression based on events that I will be let go soon, one on the fact that several people were just let go out of the blue.
Why do I feel I'm next: 1) ignored; 2) age; 3) just now being presented with new responsibilities veiled under 'you should have already been doing this', even though these responsibilities have in the past fallen under a different section of the department. I feel these new requests veiled under 'this is your responsibility' will be used as 'evidence' to let me go, as if I had not been doing what I was supposed to do. Basically, I believe these actions are setting up 'this scenario'.
As I've said I've not had a review in over five years. If I am let go, based on not fulfilling these newly presented responsibilities, that have never been put in writing, and are just now being presented, and, as stated, have had no review presenting these new items on my list of responsibilities, is there any recourse? In past years a review was given and expectation of the coming year with a list of expected responsibilities and goals presented, which I signed. Again, that has not happened in this case in five years.
Do I have any recourse.
Thanks.
If the above sounds confused, my apologies. It's late.
