My situation is unique. I wasn't union (or management). I wont go into is, as it would divulge too much info. Basically, I did track down my record at coporate. (P.S. never do it locally as they are too unprofessional to cough it up.) Basically, I was lied to by my manager and HR when they told me I would not be blacklisted, but am via their termination code used. They tricked me into resigning to take the heat off of the other people in the department who made the same mistake. I have fax and email correspondence that proves that the manager in my department new what was going on. The mistake made wasn't huge, but it was one of those "better be safe and get a scapegoat things.)
Basically, I just want that black mark (which the corporate HR woman said is fair game to give to prospective employers) off. She told me that if my manager at the store sent in a letter with a different termination code, she would replace the black listing one with the new termination code. Do you know which code that would be--the one that says rehireable?
What do you guys think about this information, and how should I approach my former manager. (He was culpable in the wrong procedure and also lied to me about not being blacklisted. I have been told that it is likely he that did the punative termination code.) Alternatively, if it was the district HR guy that did it, what would be the best way to try to remedy the situation.
I do have evidence of their malfeasence, as evidenced by the communication documents I mentioned. If it's the purview of the immediate manager, I'd I'm was technically at the same level of him/her, the untrustful brute may spend five minutes and send the correction in to corporate. I'm not sure how to go about this though.
Doesn't anyone want to get back at this horrible company? I have the cash and leverage to make something happen here. Can someone please inform me of protocol on this stuff?
