I'm Livid, bank talking to boss, what can I do?

Sorry for the double post, it was too late to edit.

Had a great talk with the president of my company!

Told him I would not be having this conversation if the banker had not called him but since he had, I was not ignoring the issue. I explained that this issue was one I needed to address in the long term, no more loans to pay loans each with longer and longer terms.

He assured me he had NO knowledge of anyone taking part of my bonus but agreed the amount distributed was wrong by the amount in question. I asked him not to get involved in this part either, I would handle it.

I suggest you review the "Whistleblower" laws put in effect in the past several years.

And we might have an administration in office that will actually abide by the law and protect you. - jb

I don't know, but I would still be careful going to HR for this as well. HR personnel are afterall hired by, paid by and work for the company. I know they are there for the employees, but one of their tasks usually involve keeping the company out of hot water when it comes to employee issues. Just be cautious.

Privacy laws protect one with HR. In fact, it may be necessary to document issues with HR in order to protect oneself. i.e., sexual harrassment by your supervisor; where do you go first, to HR or the lawyer? Unless you took your information first to HR to document the matter, you might not have much of a leg to stand on. Review your employee handbook and company policies in place. Another thing to do is keep a journal as to things as they occur; phone calls and what was discussed (date/time), emails, conversations, etc.

Yes privacy laws do protect a person when going to HR, but I'd still be careful. The biggest and best point that Flamingo stated is to document, document, document. If you have very good documentation of any issues that have been discussed or occurred then that becomes really good evidence in court. I sat on the HR side of the table on several occasions in court and saw first hand that the documentation had a big part of the judges decision.

Another of your fine irrelevant posts completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

Irrelevant?

Will you please name me one single whistleblower who was protected under the past 8 years? - jb

Are you referring to that referee in the NBA who got caught betting on games? He's the only whistleblower I recall reading about.

Why is O'bama's election relevant to the OP's concern about collusion between this bank and his employer?

No, ohio, I was not talking about some referee but a number of different whistleblowers over the last 8 years which were hung out to dry after they did so.

And if you go back and re-read the posts, my comment was ref the whistleblower comment - relevant, I think. - jb

Make sure you literally forward that email to a home address. A tech person can analyze it if needed and show that it did in fact come from his email address, just in case they make the email "dissapear".

This whole situation sounds bad. I don't think you'll be able to be comfortable at that job again after your bk. I would start looking now for something new.
