I was working at a company for 8 years, when the company hired a new young manager, a chinese immigrant with PhD. He dislikeked me from the very first the moment. To prove my inability to do my job, he kept me isolated from all meetings. Assignments were unclear, and frequently a nonsense. Dispite of my PhD, over thirty years of experience, 4 patents concieved for the company, two company rewords for exeptional contribution, my name engraved at the company lobby, and continuos excelent evaluation by previous manager, he immidiatelly downgraded my performance to marginal, claiming I do not attend meetings because I am not interested in his departments' work, and put me on probation. When I complained to VP, the VP told me he had absolute trust in his managers, and he could not do anything for me. Less than two years later, when I was close to my 59th birthday, he fired me, and hired another young immigrant with PhD who took over my job. I filed a complain with the state EOC. A black officer was assigned to my case. Well, I lost, I am white! EOC found my complain without a merrit. My former colleques were so scared, they refused to testify. One of them said: "If such a nasty thing happend to you, I could be the next one". My advice: Leave as soon as you can. |

Once your relative is on the street, they can check their own references. For a fee ~$100, you can find out if a former employer is badmouthing you and gather evidence of it. Some of these are law firms who will take the bad guys to court and maybe collect damages.
Go to Google and search for "reference check". You will find several links.
