No negative reviews. I was in management and our location had just broken our all-time sales record by more than 40% for the year. We have 3 salesman at our location (including me) and we just had 1 guy resign (30 days prior to my letter) and move into a different career, so we were down 1 guy at the time. I informed my boss and the HR director by email with a word document attached. I was smart enough to forward the email to my personal email the day they let me go so I would have a copy of it.
I was told to my face that the company “was going in a new direction”. But my unemployment paperwork filed with the State said “failure to meet employers standard of job performance”.
I would have thought that they would have needed to ask me about a reasonable accommodation before just firing me for poor performance. At least that is what I understand the law to be.
