[quote=Anonymous]I worked as a contractor. The contract ended. I went to work for another contractor. I learned the day I met my team of subcontractors, they worked for the company I just left. Sound complicated?

One of their contractors sent me an email inviting me to drinks and dinner. I replied back no thanks, politely, I don't mix business and personal life. I emailed this email exchange to my HR department, requesting that they take note that I turned this man down. He was a subcontractor but a good twenty years older and in a position of authority.

The next day, my HR department brought me into the conference room and fired me. They said it was because I told them the job was too difficult for me to do.

I went to work three weeks later for another contractor.

I saw an attorney but was told I had no case.

I am just putting this out there as a case study and lesson learned. Everything worked out for the best for me in the long run. I never would want to work for an employer like them. However, was there something else I could have done to save my job and not date the subcontractor? [/quote]
