My husband just got fired. Completely out of nowhere.
Just last month everyone was saying he was the best manager they've had and we thought he would be getting promoted soon. Then they hired some guy from out of town, who we now know was out to get him, so he set him up and then fired him today. We have email traces of the setup so we're considering getting a lawyer.
I am in shock. They took his phone too so I can't even call him.
We just moved in September and have already put thousands into our house and are right in the middle of redoing both bathrooms and the kitchen..... if he doesn't find another job paying as much as his old one ASAP we might have to move back to California because I hardly make anything.
This is crazy. Our new life here is the happiest I've ever been and everything was going so perfectly... and now this.
Does anyone know anyone in need of an IT/Broadcast manager? Or anything similar?
Thanks ![]()
Re: Wow.... bad news.
Oh man! So sorry! That sucks!
I hope he can find something fast. And did the company have an HR dept? Maybe it would be worth chatting with them about the firing process, including showing them your records?

That's crazy. I'm so sorry.
I'd definitely contact an attorney if you have any proof of a set-up.
OMG, that sucks! I would definitely contact an attorney...they don't charge for talking prelims and hypotheticals. They have to know if they have a case first.
What kind of IT...does it include project management at all?
I hope you guys are able to work something out.
Thanks girls....
The story is getting worse... apparently HR was "in" on it too. In the meeting they were ignoring everything DH was saying and wouldn't answer his questions while his new boss (the one that set him up) was lying to their faces. They locked him out of his office where his laptop was so he couldn't get to his emails... now they are going to delete all of the convos of the setup so he will have no proof. If we get a lawyer it's all of them vs. him. I don't know how he will have a case.
He did from his laptop but they tricked him into bringing it to work today and then locked it so he couldnt get it before he left.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

I'm so sorry. DH works in IT (storage architect) for LPS. I'll ask him if he knows of anything.
ETA: Tell him to contact Sapphire Technologies. They specialize in IT jobs and were the ones that placed DH in his intial position when we moved to Jax.
