I have worked in the same job for the past 15 years at a salary level equivalent to our receptionist yet the job requires a technical background and the expectations have grown over the years. I have always received outstanding performance appraisals and my supervisor is aware of the extra responsibilities and has kept promising to change my grid level. As a result of a re-organization, I was offered a couple of promotions under another supervisor which I initially agreed. This was not supported by my former supervisor and he decided to submit a very damaging letter about alleged comments I made about the re-org plans and employees. As a result of his letter I am now being reprimanded for unprofessionalism and insubordination. I will be placing a grievance and this whole experience has been very stressful and I have been off for about 6 weeks. I am expected to go back to work but not sure since I feel my supervisor has created an unhealthy climate of work for me. I would consider leaving but I love the job. I am considering a lawsuit because I do not feel I can go back and they have cause mental stress. Or the other option is to request for severance pay and look for other employment. I am currently seeking legal advice.
