[QUOTE="klmno, post: 415223, member: 3699"] I started a draft email last night stating that I do not agree with the representation of the facts as boss presented them and although I understand that due to our different positions and time working for this company upper management would give him the benefit of the doubt, I would be submitting a statement disputing these facts for my record. And I included a brief statement that given the current situation and previous results of discussing minor concerns with boss, I was afraid to discuss these more major issues with him and that is why I told him yesterday that I will not meet with him about this. Also, I mentioned that since my job was currently on the line, I needed confirmation if they wanted me to continue with travel plans for work. Then, I got up early this morning, went to work early, and only client's rep was there. I mentioned the email I'd gotten from boss and client's rep already knew about it. He said he'd never seen any big problem but said it was his understanding that the company boss and I work for would be sending me a letter soon. I told him that was the first I'd heard about that but I wasn't surprised because I'd had a feeling for a long time that boss wanted me out of there. Client's rep said he didn't think so and that letter was just a warning. The he said since he'd only seen one problema t all and that was the arguement that Fri. over a project that he really thought boss and I could work things out. I said I didn't think we could because I'm afraid tto talk to him and then I told him about the way bboss had me call that lady, put her on speaker phone to ask her questions, then after we're off phone and rep came back, presented it to rep completely differently than it actually happened- making the lady look bad and discrediting her and getting back up from others.
