my dear The bright side,
I work in the marketing department of a small company with about 30 employees. Since 2022 so have I Remote work.
On Monday afternoon, my manager called me and told me that I had 40 minutes to get to the office for an emergency meeting.
I told him “Sorry, but I don’t follow last minute orders. I’m not a robot.”
Shortly after that, I was shocked when HR sent everyone an email announcing:
“Dear colleagues,
After the urgent meeting held earlier today, we would like to inform you that the new management, which is now supervising the company, has decided to grant higher compensation to some departments. Please see the attached file to know the percentage of increase that your department will receive.
Best regards,
“human resources”
I couldn’t believe it. The meeting was scheduled to be announced New leadership and more. For over a year, there have been rumors about this, but many of us have lost hope. Suddenly, it finally happened.
But just two hours later, there was a knock on my door. It was a delivery boy handing me an envelope. Inside were papers from human resources. I froze. My contract will not be renewed When it ends in two months. There was even a note:
“We expect full compliance, and unfortunately, you did not show up today. Since you did not attend the meeting, we are sending these documents directly to your home so you do not need to attend.”
I felt crushed. I was fired because I refused to rush to the office, even though I had been working remotely for years.
Was I wrong about that? Stand your ground? Or was the company unfair in the way they treated me?
for you,
Amanda
