SECURITAS SECURITY SERVICES Burns Security Unfair HR Department Chicago, Illinois

I was laid off from my job for speaking out against the HR Department. On April 4th of 09, I questioned a remark made by Erica Bailey one of the HR Manager's for this company, on April 7th I was written up for poor work performance. I found that to be odd because I had been with this company for 9+ years and had never received any write-ups. On August 1st we lost an account, that had 21 employees working there. All Manager were asked to help with re-placement of these employees to other accounts including the HR department. Cameron Walker the other HR Manager didn't want to be included in this process and at the time I was unaware of this, when the employees called I gave them his number thinking this was the right thing to do. I later receive an e-mail stating that his number was off limits to these employees, however, when I questioned I thought the sole purpose of our jobs were to help the employees-ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. After this time there seemed to be a group of Managers that totally harressed me day in and day out. it got so bad until I went to the VP Randy Bell who assured me that he would talk to these indivuals and put an end to the harressment, instead of that happening it got worse. It was to the point of a hostile work enviorment. My headaches started as soon as I walked through the office door. I then decided to see if the EEOC could help me. After visiting with the EEOC I found that I didn't have a strong enough case. Although there was a caucation Scheduling Manager that was so bad in his job that we were asked to help him do his job although he was still getting paid his regular salary and we got nothing extra. After it was discovered that he couldn't handle his job he was moved to another job as an Account Manager with less responsibilities still making the same amount. And we were then forced to not only handle our work load but his also. He was then paid out for his vacation plus kept a job. Me on the other hand I was laid off without severance pay-I was told that since I had never taken a vacation that my vacation would be my payout. I was let go without reason.
