What can I do fi my employer posted job without my official resignation?
With much respect of my current employer I disclosed that I was offered a contingent job offer. I asked my manager if he could keep things quit until the official offer came to me. The reason I confessed the job offer was that I asked to use him as a reference. I am currently waiting for the new employer to contact me to find out if all background checks, drug screens, etc. have been cleared. I went to an industry website and I noticed that my current job was being posted on this sight. I have not officially given my resignation. I have been with the company for 3 years and have been in good standing this whole time. I’ve never been given any verbal or any other type of warnings. How am I protected as an employee?

Do you have protection against this action under the terms of a union/collective bargaining agreemnt or an employment contract? Does your treatment constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not, then it is legal. A company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. This includes when and why to post a job opening.
