I was terminated for recording my manager admitting to violating FDA and company policy.
I work for a major pharmaceutical corp. and challenged my manager as he was trying to make me do something that violated policy. Subsequently, he placed me on a PIP (performance improvement plan), gave me a negative evaluation and a conduct memo for having expired samples. I complained to HR and I thought they were taking the matter seriously, as they flew me to headquarters to speak with our DEA/Compliance Specialist. They concluded their investigation and gave both the manager and me conduct memos. I was upset that they did not believe me and informed them that I had concrete evidence to prove that he was in violation of policy and could endanger the public's health. I received a letter stating that I was terminated because I recorded conversations which goes against our Code of Employee Conduct policy. However, my question, if my recording proves that my manager violated both FDA and company policy, is it still grounds for termination? I cannot believe that I tried to do the right thing and I get fired! Thanks in advance for any advice!
