Unethical Behavior by Macy's Employees

My significant other used to work for Macy's, I feel the he was dismissed unjustly, but he was truly loved by big bosses, peers and customers alike, but that is neither here nor there, a couple of the managers at Macy's called my significants' new job and told untruths to his new supervisor on him trying to discredit him. I feel that this is totally unaccepted and very unprofessional. If you have dismissed a person why would you try to jeopardize their new employment? And how would they know exactly who to call and what department unless this was all planned out, but for what reason?

I feel that Macy's should let all of their employees know that this is very unethical and unprofessional behavior. This should not be tolerated by any employee, it only make others look down on this type of behavior by employees of such a well known and prominent department store.I am in school for business management and I have every intention of researching and doing a paper on this type of behavior.

Depending on what state you are located in, its also illegal for any
company to give information about you,beyond your dates of work. Some
states will not allow them to GI e out income or reason for dismissal.
If I were you, I would file a lawsuit against Macys and the employees
directly, for violating your rights and file with the Commission
Against Discrimination. Also you can file with the Attorney General's
Office in your state. I know years back, Walmart was sued for
something similar and they had to pay a multi million dollar lawsuit.
Make these Managers accountable for their actions. It's also
intentional affliction of emotional abuse. Good Luck!

i see the OP says the husband was popular.


thing is popular doesn't really say anything about job performance.
you can be popular but still be fired, depending on what you do at
work.

Do you have proof that what you are saying happened, happened?

Are you still in high school? Why are you inserting yourself where
you don't belong? Your S.O.'s employment issues are not for you to
mess with.

I also think you need to look into your S.O.'s behavior, because I
don't believe for a minute that the former bosses called his new
employer and bad mouthed him.

I suspect your S.O. is not a gem.

as the owner of a small business I wont risk it
I tell people that he was employed and whether or not I would rehire.
Thats it.

I cant risk even having to take days off to defend myself.

There's not much benefit for a company to give a reference for a
former employee but there could be a lot of hassle if one is given and
a lawsuit is filed because of it. That in no way equates to legality
like you originally stated.

you're claiming the new boss lied - but without any evidence to
support this other than your claim.



this is something your partner needs to bring up to HR.

But remember, the new boss may have evidence to support his
accusations. "Truly loved" does not mean he wasn't doing things
wrong. You can be popular but still be making mistakes worth firing
you over.
