I apparently made an impression upon my former company. I wrote an E-mail to their corporate website and I recieved a response today. One of the Executive Vice Presidents got on the phone with me and we had a little chat. I kept it pleasant and sociable. I told her I applied for unemployment compensation, and she seemed to indicate that the company would not contest it (we'll see).
She asked me what they could do to improve the process, and I certainly gave them a few strong suggestions about supporting their consultants and establishing up front with the client that they need continual feedback from them. She gave me a lot of those "repeat back" questions: "So, if I understand you correctly, you're saying..." I hope she lets the field office in on some of my suggestions. I felt very betrayed by the whole situation.
She said she could tell from what I told her that I cared a great deal more about my work than about being released from my contract. She indicated that this was a positive factor. I told her that if nothing else, I took away a great deal of skill and knowledge I did not previously have, as the court did not give me a whole lot to do. I think of all the taxpayer money they've wasted already, and how much more they'll have to waste trying to get someone else to fill my shoes. Government agencies just love to spend other people's money.
I still may put in a claim to the EOC. I feel there is discrimination involved. I was treated like a used piece of garbage to be thrown out on a whim. I feel that there was intentional retaliation involved here. We'll see.
