You may have missed the change in dynamics.It has been public knowledge the demoted manager (DM) was being phased out within a short time and that fact was re-affirmed to me by the Vice Pres., direct Supervisor and HR manager prior to me considering the move. He is difficult and demeans everyone but I knew that I could handle this person until he was phased out with the backup of management which they guaranteed I would have.In vocalizing the above concerns I now feel that I have been purposely isolated for doing so. I have been removed from dept. and demoted to doing secretary's filing and errands until her assistant is hired. I also feel Management, specifically VP, has negatively stereotyped me to which our HR manager was witness.Have you asked management, specifically, what you can do to ameliorate that situation?I have gone from a Superior employee (as all my evaluations attest to) to now being “troublemaker” and “friction causer”.
When you state that management said,How do you reconcile that with,I have been told I will not be allowed to collect unemployment because this is a voluntary separation nor have I been give a set termination date even though I requested one.I am not sure why unemployment benefits would be an issue in an at-will employment state. In theory, it should not matter as long as separation from employment complied with at-will employment laws and doctrine.He acknowledge problems with DM, I was told to learn to get along or one of us would be gone and it would be me, called me a whiny crybaby who had problems in balancing home and work life which were causing problems at work (????)
