Crossmark Marketing Had a car accident, my job left me for dead, Plano Texas
After the company had blacked us out from working over the Christmas holidays, my 2nd day back at work on the 2nd, was in a car wreck on my way back to work. I sustained a major injury to my ankle and was unable to work. Assured by my manager and HR everything was fine, my job was secure, I was told to just worry about recovering. I filled out all the forms, jumped thru every hoop.
Finally in April I was released by the doctor to go back to work, I was told that the team I had been working on had been eliminated and that I needed to contact recruiting to be given a new assignment. Call after call, email after email, I heard nothing. Finally in the HR department I found one person to help me. And guess what they gave her the run around to. I begged and pleaded all I wanted was to go back to work...thats all. Finally after blowing me off for an additional 2 days I was informed that I had been "EXITED".
No calls, no emails, nothing just screw you goodbye. I have worked with Crossmark for 2 years. They have had me criss cross the southeast countless times, shorted mt mileage and money, but I consider myself a team player so unless it was a huge amount, I let it slide. I have always given 110% everyday I worked, my work being impressive enough to become a team lead in 2 years of employment. A pretty amazing accomplishment in this line of work, and yet when I needed them the most, they threw me under the bus.
As a result if anyone from Crossmark reads these things? Know this. Because of this I have had to sell off almost everything I own, my wife is disabled, there is only me. We have been forced to apply for welfare, and im facing all kinds of legal trouble from creditors I can no longer pay. I have nothing to lose. So Im coming after you. Big Time.
I was told I am eligible for rehire. which means that this company shut me out soely to undermine my pay scale, and keep me from applying for unemployment, hell they still list me as a current employee. I have a meeting with a lawyer next week, who assures me that not only have these people broken Federal employment law, but also that I have a very valid complaint for a formal lawsuit...like I said I literally have nothing left to lose.
