I’m tired.
Left a government job due to documented harassment 4 years ago. Recently applied for a job in the same branch just different location. Interviewed 3 times and offered the job. This week was my second week. Came in and was asked to attend a meeting with HR. They explained to me that due to my improper notice of leaving my job 4 years ago that I am ineligible for re-hire and that there was a breakdown between in-house HR and the state HR higher ups which led in me being “incorrectly hired.”
I have been put on paid leave pending their decision.
They apologized profusely and told me it is against the state hiring protocol to hire someone on the ineligible for re-hire list. Again, only reason I’m on the list is because I didn’t give a full 2 weeks notice when leaving a toxic job 4 years ago.
I had to leave today and I took my personal belongings at the advice of HR. I’ve never been so embarrassed.
