The first day he was like this.
The third day we had office lunch and i asked him what was the office policy was with regard to previous employees. I asked him, if i were to run into a previous employee at a shopping mall was i to talk to him or was i to run in the oppisite way. HE replied that (i am just telling what he told) it was not for him to decide to whom i should speak to or not outside the office but only not to this individual as he stole my employers drawings and ideas.

Sidenote : This event occured just a day after i wrote my Canadian citizenship exam. The Canadian citizenship (as told in the book) entitles one to the charter of rights and freedoms but here i was insulted by my Italian employer. I was really feeling very down that day and was even planning to quit the job. But later when i thought what my wife would say if i quit the job i did not have the courage to do it. Also i was a consultant at that time. So in reality, the carter of rights and freedoms is not even worth the paper that it is printed upon (i say this being a Canadian Citizen)
Also if i quit my job (for this reason), would the Canadian govt. take care of me till i get a new job. I do not think so. But the fact is that i was feeling very very insulted
First of all, u should not ask for permission to your boss to speak to anybody. If u meet him in the mall just say hi or hello. Donot discuss office stuff till any legal issues are resolved.
I have also noticed that some of the employers who do not have any moral standards will say the person stole something when they fire the person. When, in fact, he is been fired for some other reason. I have a first hand experience of this. Donot believe everything employer says.
You will not believe this but in Global IT consulting firms when they fire employees they go out of their way to ensure that employee does not have grudge against the company. after Y2K many global IT consulting firms fired many of their employees. These employees left consulting firms and joined Industry. Some of the employees became CIOs in the company and when economic upturn happened in 2003, the global firms found that if their ex-employee was CIO or in a position to make IT consulting contratc decisions, they were automatically eliminated from getting consulting contracts. So nowadays they are very careful when they fire employees.
Lana,
Sorry, I sent a PM when instead I wanted to post this.
Talk of role reversals!
