Not sure, but I know that one of them that is suing for being on fairly fired said they were unable to access their personnel files and locked out of their email so they had no way of providing the evidence that they were receiving merit, promotions, etc., and had no complaints against their work.
So creepy to lock HR files. I'm no attorney, but losing those files sounds like it can cause immediate harm. If the person searches for work or files unemployment, they need the files. I'd be asking the lawyer about emergency orders. It might be possible.
The NPR reporter observed that by firing (excellent and high-performing) employees for “poor performance” they could not collect unemployment insurance. Diabolical stuff, the malignant narcissist’s need for revenge, plotted for 4 years… 😡 He must go down in flames! 🔥 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙
You can apply for unemployment in that circumstance. States handle it in various ways. In my case, it was denied and I could appeal. They asked for my explanation and evidence and those of the employer.
If the fired employee is locked out of systems and unable to access the evidence it adds insult to injury. Illegal… but happening to our great, dedicated civil service workforce. 😡
Exactly. Seems to me they could file for an emergency order to release certain records.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of lawsuits. They aren’t doing anything according to proper process and then it will just be case after case picking apart all the wrongful parts of Process.
