I quit my job of five years for a work from home position, that gave me more of a work life balance, or so I thought. I ended up hating the work from home job and wanted to go back to my old job. My manager accepted my interview request and stood me up. She wouldn't even respond to my texts. She later told a former coworker she wouldn't hire me back because I called HR too much. She then told the recruiter I wasn't a good fit for the position. Is this a considered a form of discrimination?

I don't think it could be considered discrimination, and it wouldn't be retaliation either because you are no longer an employee. Unfortunately, it might be a sign that you will want to start putting applications out elsewhere.

Yes it is! We just learned about this in my work place. It's most definitely discrimination. Now you should really go to there HR.

That is really weird. She could have simply told you that there are othee candidates too. I mean giving an interview gave you a hope and then it felt more disgusting when you were stoop up.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
