Q: Are my supervisors at work allowed to tell everyone but me that I’m in trouble and lie about me putting in a notice?
I just got a new job a few weeks ago and I needed to request off for events I had for my other job and they said that was fine. They denied my requests off and said they already made the schedule. I told them I could not come in those two days and didn’t show up . I also had issues with being tardy. After those two days I missed my supervisor told everyone that she was pissed and me and gave me the silent treatment. That didn’t bother me until today, when I get a text from a co worker saying that she told everyone I put in my notice, I did not. I never even got officially written up. She’s not in charge of firing me. She’s been telling all my coworkers about my business and not one supervisor or manager has talked to me since those days. They had corporate come in today and everything was hectic yesterday, I feel they just were keeping me on so I could do all the work for that. I just want to know if any of that is illegal, or if it’s just workplace drama.
