I Refuse to Work With the Manager Who Fired Me Years Ago

Well, with all my respect. You don't choose who you work with, unless it is YOUR company which clearly isn't the case. So grow up!!

Don't bother with all that faff. That HR staff already knew what your supervisor had done to you previously by their smile and lack of shock at the news. They didn't support your reaction. That tells me that for some likely unjust reason, they are siding with him. I strongly suspect that they want him to shadow you because they've already planned to oust YOU after 3 months and you are training him for your position. So it's good to leave right now. Any new workplace you can show work evidence, im sure you have some. I would advise them that your position became untenable overnight due to company necessities and be honest if they probe further. You state that you gave your all but no employee would thrive in that toxic position and stress your success just before this situation occurred which highlights your lack of contribution to toxicity. Id leave right away because then they will see that the new supervisor cant work without you like before. I wouldn't be surprised if in a couple months they'll beg you back, at which point you get a friend to anonymously request a written reference from them. You tell them you'll consider a return. Then, reference in hand, say sorry, no im.not returning. I wonder has HR girl and this supervisor hooked up.

Just leave!! The same way you find another job, find a new one, but try to add classes to your preparation, find out what degree or certifications he got that you don't, and study just next time he crosses paths with you, he will be UNDER your Supervision...I just quit a company that does that to an employee, it does not care about you...companies are not our good friends or good relatives they just want to make money...the tide has turned...if I was you, I jump to another boat, if he is lazy as you said, his personality will show up again...if you are capable as you said, the workforce will welcome you again...in another company...life is short, and that plan of checklists and stuff, willl add stress to you...just exit with your head high, let the company sort it out...hope you find a better position somewhere else...everyone deserve to be appreciated, and to work with minimal stress...

Dont do his work. Let him fire you. Then go collect unemployment while you look for new job. Best to say nothing

Something tells me this guy followed you too your current job for a reason. What if you leave again and once more he follows you.

Ignore this AI generated advice. Its emotionless bs. If your company insists on hiring him, it speaks volumes about their attitude towards you : they dont care. They are probably doing this to get you to leave. If so, try to do some reflections. What if the problem is you? If somehow you are the victim of injustices in a row, consider starting your own business, however small it is. If you are as good as you said, it should work.

I agree with the others who've said: Get out, with your head held high. Sorry but the advice in this article is bad advice. It will put you in a stressful, one-down, losing position--and HR there has already shown themselves to be arrogant, punitive and evil. You won't win in any situation you try to design or bargain for, there. You will win by leaving. Yesterday.

Well it seems to me you are a lifer at the entry level and have no desire to have a career, all you want is to have a job that anyone can do which you can be replaced by the end of the day. You do realize that at the other company you were also entry level? Entry level employees are the least valuable people at a company and any complaints you have about your job will not be tolerated. Example; your supervisor has a group of entry level employees that he is responsible for that it's his job to get a productive crew to accomplish his assignments, you and the others are his tools to get the job done. If his crew is unproductive then it's his job to find out which tool ain't working and replace it. You were not doing his job for him, you were doing your job in his department, you didn't want to progress your way up in the company by learning higher level positions, becoming a valued asset to the company and by not moving up and refusing to do your job your supervisor fired you. Not for not doing his job, he did his job and fired the one that didn't want to be a productive part of his crew. You went to another company and started in an entry level position there to and parked yourself in a position that that anyone can be trained for faster than it would take to remember to remember 5 names of their closest coworkers, which was proved when you took your low level, invaluable self to HR and said "you ain't gonna..." and they said "oh yes your are" and there were no board meetings, no offers to transfer to another department, no redirecting him to another department because after three years you have moved up to a valuable, important part of the company no you quit before they fired you for not doing what you were assigned to do and you were probably replaced before the day was over.

The sooner you realize companies do not care about you the better. Whether you been there 3 years or 30 makes no difference to them. Move on to the next crappy dead end job.

This has to be a joke! Or a woman who posted this. Did you really think that you had that kind of power at that company? When they hired him they didn’t ask for your opinion for a reason! And it seems you didn’t know that reason. It’s because they didn’t care about your opinion and or feelings about the hiring! You obviously don’t have anyone who depends upon you to provide or you would just do your job and shut up! If your supervisor asked you to do a job and you didn’t do it. That’s grounds for termination. So you weren’t fired unjustifiably. And you should
start looking for a new job now. Because you will be fired soon!

Look this happened to me and worse. I had bullying by managers and worse, a boss even came to my house drunk and yelled abuse about me to my husband. Not one person internal or external cared or took on my complaint. At the end of the day they had me checkmate after years of struggling to keep my career, spending hundreds and thousands on university and missing many Christmas and birthdays of my sons. So instead of fighting in the end I secretly had days off to attend interviews for jobs, less paid ones as a junior to start all over again in my 40s. Well I was offered a job. I resigned because HR work for the company not you, no one will fight for you and you are like me checkmate. I left with dignity and everyone felt sorry for me, low and behold the bosses apologized but I said well you want to fire me... don't bother I fire myself haha.
I'm a lot happier now in a place that takes bullying more serious, it's a lot less money however I'm left alone at work.
