Serious question here. In today's economy, lots of companies are "doing more with less" i.e. layoffs. It's been happening at my work all year and continues today.
My company is merging departments, and I can pretty much see the writing on the wall that my department's time looks to be numbered and I fully expect most of us to be replaced once our current project is done.
We combined 4 departments into 1, and the old bosses of the other 3 departments have been let go and now we just have this 1 boss over-seeing all 4 departments.
What I've seen so far in deciding who gets let go and who stays is clearly favoritism from this newly appointed boss, where he had kept his own people and made heavy cuts to the other three departments. Even when it meant cutting good people rather than letting go of his own lesser employees in some instances.
Like I said, it now looks like they are coming after us and writing up people for the silliest things just as an excuse to fire them later.
So I was wondering, is this even legal? If I have evidence of favoritism and evidence of intimidating (my) people from my department from this new management regime, can I present that to HR or anything, or since this is a right to work state, do we just have to take it until we get fired/laid off?
