On Nov 4, I spoke to my immediate supervisor about a personal and confidential situation and mentioned that it would be nice to someday relocate out of state. I was honest about reaching out to internal and external recruiters to see what the job market was like both locally and out of state. On Dec 2 he called me into his office to let me know he felt obligated to go to HR and let them know my "intent" was to move out of state and that I was being terminated out of my current position and the job would be posted for a new hire. I let him know at that time that I in no way had resigned. Immediately following this talk, I received an email from my supervisor stating "this email will confirm our conversation on 1119/09, during which you advised me of your intention to resign your employment as a result of your relocation to the East Coast." I replied to him and cc'd HR "At the present time my intent is to stay with Citi. If there has been a misunderstanding, I take full reponsibility." Since Dec 3, when I spoke to HR about this, I have received no answer on whether I am able to stay in my position or it will be posted for new hire.
I feel this matter is in retaliation due to my making a harassment and ethics claim against him in the spring of 2009.
I would like to know if a corporation can terminate me from my position on purely an exploratory information gathering search of jobs outside of the immediate area.
