About
I was terminated because I was following the company’s policies and SOPs in my role in Asset Protection for Alshaya Bahrain, covering retail stores and restaurants.
During my work, whenever I identified something that I believed was wrong or not being handled according to company procedures, I raised it because that was part of my responsibility in Asset Protection. However, I felt that my manager was protecting certain area managers and working closely with HR instead of properly addressing the concerns I raised.
After I started identifying and reporting these issues, my manager began restricting my work and stopping me from looking into certain matters. I also felt that I started being treated differently and that management was focusing closely on me and waiting for me to make a mistake that could be used against me.
My manager even told me more than once, **“I regret that I hired you.”**
I believe the treatment I received, and eventually my termination, may have been connected to the fact that I was following company policies, SOPs, and my Asset Protection responsibilities, and that I raised concerns when I believed something was wrong.
