Let me give you a scenario. There's this "guy I know" who was happily working in Alberta when one day he receives a call from a manager at a company in another Province inquiring about potentially coming to join this company. Up until that day he had never been in contact with or heard of this manager.

He flies to the new Province for an interview, they wine and dine him. He has a couple reservations but in the end accepts the offer to advance his career and join this new company. Company asks for a 5 year commitment.

Of course he uproots his life, leaves his serious girlfriend and a good job behind in Alberta. The girlfriend works in the same industry and has been talking to a competitor in a different city but within the same new Province. "The Guy" figures it would be a good idea to tell his Manager first hand that his Girlfriend has been talking with competition in a different city. Manager immediately tells him that it would "not be in his best interest" for this to happen and "he would not be trusted within the company" if she accepted.

1 month later Girlfriend accepts postion with competitor. Manager finds out, days later "guy I know" is out of work. With no warning or reasoning. He was told to pack his things and leave. He was only 2 months into a 3 month probabtion period so wrongful dismissal is more than likely out of the question but is there possibly a human rights case here?

Does anyone have any experience dealing with these sort of problems? Any help yould be great.
