I was removed from my site without warning on Thursday April 30th at 3:30 pm my time. I have been working at that site under that client for 7.5 years, about to be 8 come July, with continued employment throughout. I was notified of my removal without any prior indication or communication, told that it was due to "performance", and I would be reassigned under Allied Universal to another site. When attempting to inquire about "why" I was removed, I was given no further response aside from "performance", and they would not answer the question. I was told I would be "reassigned", nothing further. I informed them I would be contacting HR monday morning and digging into the matter. I have recorded every call I've been on minus one where I was blindsided by this. Also, I have not been able to receive any confirmation that I am even going to be paid at my established rate I earned through my years, or if theres even a position available. If I am terminated because of this, I am going to go scortched earth.
The problem is the following. I have no disciplinary actions on my record. The client and AUS failed to make a good faith attempt to "correct" any deficiencies before opting for removal. I can think of a single instance where I was late due to weather, but that was excused. Additionally, this is most likely targeted and discriminatory as only people of color have been removed from our site, while those of white/caucasion appearance have been given "corrective action", especially those who have continued to be problematic, have excessive punctuality issues, have been written up, and actively been a negative addition to the site. Beyond that, I was targeted, as theres no proof or evidence of any wrongdoing.
What makes this weird is the client himself when I interviewed for the account manager position that opened in February, though I didnt get the position, he then requested through my employer (AUS) I work the opening 1st shift that was made as my fellow supervisor was chosen. (I'm also a supervisor). The exact words I was told was "The client has requested you work 1st shift and replace the officer who is taking the account manager position". I agreed, was moved, and suddenly disconnected from the site without cause.
So the lawyer: This isn't the first time this has occurred, and theres already multiple lawsuits going on for the client surrounding it. In fact, its my friend who was impacted by this recently due to discrimination by the client when he was an officer, who then went to go work for the company at another site who was again targeted, wrongfully terminated for health (with approved accommodation) and other shenanigans, basically has the lawyers at his disposal to continue to go after the client. Who have extended their help to begin looking into my case, and then adding it to theirs. I'll hear from them Monday.
To the previous client, you unfathomably shallow excuse for human life. You haven't a clue how my site works and thats clear by the fact you just want to tear it all down without taking a single iota of your "vast knowledge" to even begin scraping the surface of what I do and how this place operates. It's clear you don't know how much I'm willing to go just to get a single drop of metaphorical blood from you, and I will only be satisfied once the hell you've put me through has been equally paid back in kind. I will do my best to ensure each moment you sit in that sad decaying office chair, you look back on that moment as the truest form of proof, that not only does stupidity exists, you embodied it perfectly, forever being the top clown at the saddest circus of one. Fuck you.
