Proceed w/ LABOR BOARD OR NOT!!?

Question

Used to work for a FURNITURE STORE that's barely on the works and claims to one of the largest furniture stores in Southern Ca. Well, this store is nice but the people they so call managers are terrible at their job. There are to many cover-ups and corruption in that workplace. People had quit do to poor management and they let go of people that actually do well work performance. I know, I used to be in the Human Resource dept.
They have terminated people due to no reason and expect them to sign a Change of Relation. I was let go due to: Position terminated. Month later after my termination; I find out that they have a sales level person taking care of a Adminstrative Assistant position. what? Don't understand what's going on! The people they should be firing are the ones that have been complained about'; but are still there. If customers would know of how things are run at the store.. I'm sure they would not SHOP there!!

Answer 1

Your situation is unfortunate, however from what you've said, the employer has done nothing wrong. In your case, your position was terminated because there was not sufficient work to keep you fully engaged for 8 hours. The sales person was given administrative responsibilities IN ADDITION to his/her sales function. As you know, it's called consolidation and is frequently used when a reduction in force has occurred.

As for the other - the corruption and mismanagement - that falls under the "Golden Rule" - Whoever has the gold, makes the rules.

Hope you get a job soon. Good luck.
