I was working somewhere. I decided to take an unpaid admin leave from them pending some health problems. In the process they sent me to this other company who would re onboard me back to the company. I thought this was weird, since no payment or invoices were being sent. Instead they let me go pending abandonment on the job. The weird thing is i was working with the people to get re onboarded, and from my perspective it was costing the company nothing to have me around. So now, im thinking appealing the decision with HR to see what exactly happened, because the nature of the situation makes no sense. It would be one thing if they were paying me, but no cash was being exchanged at all. And i know other people who did something similar, who were fine. Deep down i think the company was hurting and was already gonna lay off people, so this was a convenient excuse to not re hire someone. I also learned they replaced me with two other shitskins in India somewhere

You must not be in an "at will" labor location.

The process is weird is what i was thinking, why go through all this trouble for such a minor reentrance issue? Makes no sense

It's not uncommon for companies to export hr labor to staffing agencies. It's also not uncommon for HR to tell employees to act a certain way verbally which will result in their termination for cause to save the company money. Sounds like they denied your request for leave so you quit by not coming in and then they didn't need you when you wanted to come back.
