Fired for wanting compromise

Today I was fired from my job of four years. There is a new manager who has changed many aspects dealing with our line of work. A few of us who disagree with what our manager is implementing were trying to work out a compromise with our new manager. Things have worked fine in the past and we were willing to comply with some aspects of our manager's plans, but wanted to compromise on other topics that are more important to us.

We had a work meeting last night and were asked if we had any comments or questions after our manager talked. We felt that we then had the right to voice our view points and ideas of compromising. Because of that meeting for sure 3 of us were fired, for voicing our opinion.

We are in the process of developing a plan to fight this. I need ideas of what effectful ways can we fight this successfully. Any thoughts???

Do you have a union, and what state are you in?? Do you have an EEOC office in your city? Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

If you are in a right to work state I am afraid there isn't anything you can do. Never hurts to try to speak to your manager's manager and at least ask for him/her to hear you out.

Let me see, after the boss tells you how he wants it done, you don't do it that way, but keep trying to make them do it some other way, and after that does not work, at another meeting again, you will not agree and they decide to get rid of those workers that are not on the team.

I don't see an issue here, after knowing they were going to do it thier way, you should have finally became a team player.
In any company if you don't do it the companies way and keep disagreeing, what in the world do you think is going to happen.

so you have the right to collect unemployment, and find a new job.
And perhpas you need to learn the rule number one of corporations,
1. The boss is always right.


Just think of this, if you are the boss, and you are taking over a area of a company, you have your plans to do it, and listen to other ideas, but want it done your way, you have a group of people who don't want to do it that way but they would be willing to try some of the ideas, and were planning on how to fight ( go against the boss)
You would be fired in any company, even in a union company if you failed to follow the bosses instructions, you would stll be gone.
What I can't understand is how you can even think it was wrong of them to fire you.

I appreciate your responses. The manager above my manager that fired me hired me back a couple days later, because he realized that it was a mistake.

I was not refusing to do things how the new manager wants; myself and other employees were trying to meet in the middle with our manager on some issues. Which is happening now.

It was a wrong decision firing me and she/he has realized that.

This just shows that the manager cannot always have it their way.

Comments on this post
Emland agrees: Glad you got your job back.
