Can a company just fire an employee when the process hasnt been followed and how to fight it?

Question:

I work for an office supply company for 6 years and this year was very tough as many things were promised to help me achieve my numbers. We have been without a manager for 5 months until recenlty and they wanted to write me up. My former manager didnt want to write me up as there were many issues within the company that prevented me from achieving my goals. Major accounts were taken away from me without notice , some were lost becuse of upper managment bad judgements. I am now being told to turn things around in one month or be fired. I am not even getting the chance until the end of the regular month. What can I do? Human Resources can be your worst enemy or best friend? Should I hire a lawyer? I am not getting my due process. Thanks for any feedback

Answer:
There is a good chance you could win a wrongful dismissal case.
You should consult a lawyer. Many of them could give you a free consultation. Some are willing to work on a contingency basis. Good luck.

How company's evaluate your performance and terminate their employees vary.

If you have a problem with anything concerning your job you should go through the proper chain of command before seeking counsel from an attorney.

Did someone in HR tell you to improve in one month or was that your direct Manager? if not, talk with someone in HR. All details that you discuss with the individual is confidential and they can give you a plan of action to follow to file a complaint if you think this is really necessary.

Meeting your goals is the name of the game in sales. Some company's are more aggressive than others when it comes to to quotas and commissions.

They are giving you notice to improve so take that into consideration and develop and game plan to do so. Show them that you can do it before you give up. All you can do is try your best.

At least they are giving you an opportunity to improve. It could be worst they could fire you instead.

Hope this helps. Have confidence in yourself and you can achieve anything you put your mind to!

God Bless.
