I知 concerned about a wrongful termination of my employment even though I知 currently still employed. This is a complicated situation and I will spare all the details that span several years, these are the issues: (1) I work for a government contractor at a military base in New Mexico (2) the company I work for is in the final stages of a contact re-compete-bid for this contract, typical resulting in upper management change (3) I have documented information that highlights my employer of, what I deem to be, fraud, waste, and abuse of government funds and equipment, to the tune of several millions of dollars, (4) I know that I may have "whistle blower" status and currently I have not taken any action on any of these issues. (5) If I were to exercise the "whistle blower protection" I would not only place the company at risk of losing a $85 Million contract, I also risk my own employment with long term repercussions and this is regardless of who wins the contract. (6) My employer knows that I have this information, as I asked to be removed from any projects in which utilized questionable dealings, that I could not take part in. (7) My employer also knows, that if he were to terminate me now, before the contract is renewed, I would report all these dirty details to the appropriate authorities. This is true and I will the minute that I知 not depending on them for a paycheck and this brings me back to issue 5 above. (8) My employer also knows that I am a senior enough manager to undermine their contract bid, if I were to talk to the competition for this contract. (9) To this point I have never compromised my employers trust. However, he decided to make sure and short of termination, the farther away from the contract bidding he could get me the better. I was conveniently reassigned to Hawaii for Temporary duty (for an extended period of time). This position is one, for which I am grossly over qualified. This was presented as my only option to staying employed. I had to accept a 50% cut in salary for an hourly wage position. This being temporary, my pay was being augmented by Per Diem rates for Hawaii. I accepted this over the alterative - termination. Now, I致e been temporary for nearly a year, at which time, I will have to assume a low salary position, due to the One Year Tax Rule, as it pertains to Per Diem funds. Next week is the presentation stage of the contract and the contract is due to announce in February 2008. I am told that I need to stay in the temporary duty status longer because there is no work for me otherwise.
My only options are: to accept a 50% pay cut in a lower status position at the military base, main office or stay TDY in Hawaii with considerable tax implications. None of which I知 willing to do. Therefore, this may force my termination. There is no getting away from my "whistle blower" I feel it is my civil duty. But I have done nothing wrong and I feel all of this is leading to my wrongful termination. I also think the way that my position has been degraded will hurt me with the new employer whoever the winners are for this contract. If I知 not allowed to stay with the contract due to termination, I lose my negotiating position for a decent salary altogether. None of which is fair. My only fault is not partaking in what I considered fraud, waste, and abuse of government funds and equipment.
This is complicated I know, but do I have a case? Any advice is welcome.
