In 2017 I was hired due to my over a decade of demo experience in pet food to work the Science Diet demo jobs. Brenda Thompson (whom i was told had originally worked for Walmart) was my immediate line manager and at first all seemed normal.
I got good hours and she seemed decent in person. When I told her that my relative(also babysitter) was in the hospital and I had also been sick and had an upcoming trip paid for and planned, Brenda took it upon herself to begin scheduling me for more work without consulting with me first (this was not a full time job).
I explained the above to her and she basically told me tough stuff and began using inappropriate language and her response to anyone and everyone that does not let her control their life/schedule is "you are to be on a conference call at 8am". Knowing a friend that she had fired, I knew what the conference call was, it was to discipline/humiliate me for being sick and having other priorities and I promptly declined and quit.
She emailed me back and said that she accepted my resignation, then went behind my back and LIED to human resources and said that she "terminated me" basically, for not obeying her orders and letting her run my life, so to speak. I went back and forth with HR and one minute I was told the resignation (which I had proof of via email) was valid and I would be eligible for rehire.
So, about 6 mos to a year later, I attempted to apply to rejoin the team in another department and Ursula (with HR) told me that I was "ineligible for rehire because Brenda Thompson had said I was termed". I told her that I had given proof that I resigned and Brenda had accepted it and I fought with HR managment for a while and finally gave up, because Brenda's lies had somehow been believed.
Brenda Thompson should never be allowed to work in management again and any job who looks at her should read this statement. She is simply unethical, a liar, and should not be in a managment position.
