Anyone have any horror stories? I was working as a temp for an admin department at a lawfirm and got let go, but the reasonings weren’t adding up, and anytime I questioned anything, I was met with excuses. The cherry on top? I was gaslit, told I didn’t call to let anyone know I’d be late, and MADE (yes, they made me) to send a screenshot proving that I called. And yet, when I provided it, there were crickets.

Totally get it. I was demoted because they said I missed meetings…two years after the missed meeting… because I was in the hospital and THEY MADE me go on short term disability for the 8 days I was in the hospital eve though I had not used any PTO yet that year and we had an unlimited PTO policy. I returned to work the day after I got out of the hospital. I missed 1 meeting during that period and emailed the host to let them know why I was absent. Went to HR, was met with stone faces and crickets even though my HR lawyer brother said it was a wrongful demotion. I kept complaining and they layed me off with a small group of other people who they wrongfully demoted.

I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
