My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: North Carolina
I'm a property manager of two sites for the company I work for. Late last week my supervisor called several of my subordinates, stated that he was scheduling a visit to the property but not to tell me. They told me, unprompted.
Upon hearing this, I waited through the weekend and through Monday and Tuesday to see if my supervisor would tell me the day of or with short notice. He did not. Tuesday night, I wrote my supervisor an email (copying their supervisor and HR) asking that my supervisor please (I actually did say please) never ask my employees to conceal information outside of policy dictated items and elements (i.e. discussion of pay, etc.) because not only inhibited my ability to meet goals from decreased awareness but facilitated expansion of integrity issues among my teams, of which there is a recent discovery (unrelated to this question).
The following morning, HR calls me and states they've received and read my email and that they were going to follow-up on the issue. About 30 minutes later, my supervisor calls me and tells me that my email "people see me as a threat, they feel threatened" and his boss asked him, "if I(he) have everything in writing." Finally, in that conversation I was informed I'd be written up for performance issues and demoted as soon as they hired another property manager to take over the second property I currently manage.
When I asked what performance issues I had, I was told that during a corporate visit in early February, the condition of the property did not meet expectation. At that time, I had only been with the company for three weeks and reminded my supervisor that the issues pointed out by corporate during the visit were issues I had asked for assistance with and existed prior to my hiring. His response was that it shouldn't matter, that it was my responsibility to know what issues needed address and to address them even if they happened before I was hired.
I feel this is a form of retaliation. If I'm justified in this feeling, what can I do to combat and defend against what it seems my supervisor is doing?
Thanks,
