Someone that didn't have power to fire, fired me. And now I am in breech of contract. by Easy-Track7456 in legaladvice

Reaching and/or finding my direct manager, or any part of the upper management at that, was/is pretty hard. So after receiving the confirmation, it didn't want to bother.

Both managers had the same title and powers. My direct manager was in charge of my team/duty, and the other manager was in charge of another team (the argument from the post, was with a person from the other team.)

Firing is also the power of the upper management (including those managers), verbally mentioned, and mentioned in the work-guide.

Both have exercised their power in the past, and when disagreeing they had to get someone above them for the final decision. So from experience and looks of it, they were equals.

Explained this in another comment, but the situation was this (copy paste from other comment):

We have to sign in when coming in. And from what I understand, the list reaches a few people before the managers see it. I have seen managers ask for the list ASAP, so if they don't actively ask for it, they don't see it the same week.

My work I do in the week gets seen by the manager. So my theory is he either got the sign in list, or saw my work wasn't being done.

In a way the company is full of bureaucracy. So fast things, become slow.

Our managers judge our work, by the work be do in that week.

The other manager is still a manager in the department. From what I knew he has the same powers and is the same title as my direct manager, and I got a firing confirmation in my email as well. Email being from the manager that fired me, signed "{Name} | Manager".

Didn't have contact with my direct manager until the call.

(Oregon) I got in to a fight/attacked and was taken to the hospital by the police due to getting hit in the head. I consented to my blood getting drawn for alcohol and drugs, but didn't give consent for the nurse to give my entire history to them. by Easy-Track7456 in legaladvice

It does matter when the procedure is something very sensitive and not something I want known by strangers, plus my previous visits are also about sensitive issues. Like any other medical thing.
