What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Somewhat at a loss for words as I was released by my employer very unexpectedly. I was told during my termination meeting that I was being terminated due to an HR investigation that concluded that I had violated policy. I do not believe I violated policy at all however I was instructed by both my manager and his manager to execute a policy change for certain clients. I questioned whether or not this was change ethical and against company policy to which I was informed it was not by both said managers. Fast forward 3 weeks after executing the directive given to me and I was terminated for violating company policy. All I was told is that the directive THEY instructed me to give to the client ended up in the wrong hands in corporate. Did my managers not entrap me into being terminated? I have spoken to 2 attorneys who have no interest in contingent case because of the at will employment laws in Illinois. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
