I have been working for a company creating online software/application for the past years. Recently I got laid off and they disabled my connection to the company's server right away. Since I was a remote employee, I wasn't able to get the design files I'd done for the company. Therefore, I emailed them to ask for a copy for the purpose of creating personal portfolio. They transferred my question among different managers and ended up ignoring my request. I'm really frustrated because I'd been working for this company since I graduated and now I'm losing all the design works I've done, not knowing what I could include in my portfolio in order to move on to the next job. Since I was paid to create the designs, I'm afraid I may not have the rights to request the files. Is there any third person I could contact for assistance? What would be the appropriate way to handle the issue? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
