Dear HR Experts
I had filed a written complaint with my boss who was the founder and CEO of the company regarding our CFO misrepresenting profit numbers to the company from which funding was being raised. As the Chief Data Officer of the company, I was involved in providing data and felt the numbers were incorrect. I was concerned that I would be found to be on the wrong side if an investigation happened into the numbers. I think this can be considered as a whistleblower complaint.
The CEO then colluded with the Board and served me a termination notice (without cause). No investigation into my complaint was done and the CEO never got back to me. My understanding is that the company cannot terminate a job like this and that it is required to investigate such a complaint.
The CEO and the company acted illegally. What can I do about this? Could there be a legal course? If yes, under what section of the law?
Kindly suggest.
Regards
