Yes, this is happening right now, and its wrong.

I have a dear friend who is doing battle with her recently former employer. It astounds me that kindness and integrity have been repaid like this.

This battle has come because she chose to leave after being treated badly by aforementioned employer. To the point where she recently was forced to take down her Facebook page because of accusations that are being thrown her way, after having left the organization.

If I mentioned what she does for a living it would stun people. As with so much abuse of power, this is an organization that SHOULD be holding themselves to a higher standard, but are consciously choosing otherwise.

In a world of social media, lawsuits and the ability to influence perspectives you would think employers would give a damn about the global reputation that they get from the personal relationships that people have.

You see, she doesn't have to share what the accusations are, or the way she's been treated. More so, she hasn't. That isn't her style.

But for those that love her, we don't need to know details. This incredible, moral woman has taught us about integrity and ethics continually through her example and action. This particular employer is lucky, she is a rare beast. Most humans out there would and do broadcast wrong doing when there is a situation of discontent or outright malfeasance.

Yet so many businesses and organizations don't know it but constructive dismissal is a legal issue, intentional or not, and should be governing themselves accordingly. Our laws state clearly that as an employer you cannot create a hostile work environment in order to remove an employee. It is sad to see, but her grace and dignity will have her keeping herself in check, for now. 

I wish for her the opportunity, when it is right to do so, to speak out against this kind of behavior and action.
