Do I have a lawsuite for wrongful termination? i feel that i was wrongfully terminated and discrimin
I was recently terminated from my job. There was an incident that i had supposedly hit someone. The incedent happened on July 30, 2011. The supervisor watched the video on August 9, 2011. I was terminated on August 11, 2011. I never got a written warning for this. When they asked the other emplyee involved he said that nothing happened. I was given a verbal warning to stop goofing off. That was it. After the incident we (the employees) all went back to working. I worked the 12 days after the incident until the supervisor came in and terminated me. At this place of busness there is goofing around all the time. There was other people who did the same thing to me that i supposedly did to the other emplyee and no conciquence has been done. Why am I being singled out and terminated for what other employees are doing in the work place?
I was let go from my job for failing a background check but 3 weeks before this I got a letter from
and welcome to the team. 2 weeks after I started working they said I failed the background I asked them why they said it was because of speeding tickets. I explained about the letter I got from HR and they said doesn''t matter because the background was not done all the way and I will be receiving a letter explaining why it has been 3 weeks and I have not received a letter. I only have 2 speeding tickets in the last five years and they never asked me about my speeding tickets and I looked at the qualifications and no where on it does it say anything about having speeding tickets and just asks for current licenses. A week before this happened I had procedure done and told one of the girls about it and it is a very controversial issue What should I do?
Do I have a legitimate reason to sue my company for wrongful termination?
I was fired because I was having a general discussion among co-workers about getting denied a promotion where I was both positive and negative about the person that did get the promotion. Word got back to the hiring manager that I was complaining so he wrote me up solely based on hear-say from a "few employees" stating that I had approached them and was very aggressive and intimidating them, which I was not. The following day, I was fired for continuing to talk about it when all I did was ask a co-worker if that manager had asked them any questions. I never received a copy of the write-up or the discharge paper-work stating why I was fired.
