[QUOTE="Bierhunter, post: 1466870, member: 3178"] Just to summarize what's been mentioned in easy to read bullet statements: 1. You can help her put together a plan of action, but only she [the employee] should be the one interacting with the company. 2. Sadly, this is not uncommon in business. Business politics suck. 3. If she does take action, [B][COLOR="Red"](very important) record EVERYTHING[/COLOR][/B]. Phone calls, emails, etc. You can secretly record a phone conversation in Oklahoma as long as you're one of the parties to the conversation. The other parties do not need to be notified of the recording. If it's not in writing it doesn't exist...and...company policies are not law. They are guidelines and are broken daily based upon management's decisions. HR may be there to assist employees, but the bottom line is that they work to protect the company. 4. I would recommend really thinking over whether or not it is worth the hassle. It's easier to find a new job when you already have one. Also, if she takes action, and things go badly, word gets spread around. When a new company does a background check, the old company can legally only say certain things and not talk poorly about the employee...but it doesn't really work that way. If she really wants to work elsewhere, she may want to suck it up until she can leave for something better in the long run. It's hard to do that while feeling what she's feeling, but think about a few years down the road where she really wants to be. In any case...I wish you and her the best and her things work out well.
