In Reply To: Be careful---very careful. I agree with the others who have recommended documentation. Following being placed on an IP, I had weekly 1/1 with my UM. In each 1/1, I had an outline, item for item, to counter with specific examples every item on the IP. I was sure to include every name involved. (My UM was especially scared of names and things in writing). In the end, I was let go, but not for failing my IP. I had asked for overtime on a Friday. Plus, in my monthly one/one two days before I was let go, I had an 'exceptional' review and was 'performing remarkably'--UM's words, not mine. I mentioned in the 1/1 that I was looking forward to four months down the line when I would become fully vested. I think that's what did it for me.... BEWARE!!!
Message: If what you have written is true, that the sole reason for your termination was to prevent you becoming fully vesting in the employer contributions to your retirement, then you have a cause of action.
