I was terminated for the equivalent of a screw on the floor in our warehouse. I was the supervisor at the time, and responsible for an area that had about 10 associates at least working in the area at all time. Manufacturing duties. My direct manager was to take pictures of this area and send them to the higher up. For what purpose I don’t know. However he wasn’t doing it at the time telling me that it’s because he didn’t feel like it was cleaned to standard. So I really got on it. Relaying the importance to my associates and cleaning myself. Weeks later the project manager(not my direct manager) calls me into the office and tells me my area isn’t being kept clean. I was confused because I’d really been on it. I asked could he show me what he meant, and he showed me one picture with a single rivet on the floor. About an inch and a half, half screw half head little thing we shoot thousands of per day. That’s it that’s all he had. He had the desire to terminate me months before but I was pretty good at my job and with the people there. All because of an issue we had encountered long before where we clashed on a business decision. His ego never let it go and I was let go. 85k and they payed for my housing because it was %100 travel job. I contacted one attorney and they declined my case. Wondering should I just let it go..

I worked at a gas station and recently got fired. There was a homeless individual who had made physical and death threats to myself and other coworkers. Eventually, i had to call the cops and put a 2 year bar on the individual. My manager and police were notified, however for months after the fact, my manager continued to allow the barred individual onto the property. When i arrived to work, the individual was in front of the door. After i had already clocked in, the individual came inside, thanked the manager for letting him use the stores tools, turned to me and said: "if you have something to say to me, meet me in the woods". I said nothing and he left. My manager was next to me when he threatened me and she did nothing. A few minutes lator, i went to take some trash to the dumpster, when the individual began yelling and making death threats. He got within inches of my face (spitting in my face) soo i removed him from my face by putting my hands on his shoulder to crate distance. From there, he hit my in the neak. I was fired 2 days later for "assault" when i was merely trying to defend my safety. I dont know if i have a case or not, but i feel like they were in the wrong for allowing him to continously enter the premises and make threats.

I needed to watch this because I was wrongfully terminated due to the fact that I was in a process of submitting a survey of my pervious supervisor on how he mistreated me and others during business hours. He found out the next day and decided to terminate me. I didn’t file lawsuit at the time because I was afraid I might lose the case without any proof or anyone on my side. Then three months later come to find out that he fired more people who was going to report him for sexual harassment, which it’s upsetting and very wrong. Now there are at least 4 or 5 of them filing a lawsuit against him and his higher management (who failed to protect her employees). Hopefully this problem would work out after they file lawsuit against them.

I worked for a staffing agency as a healthcare employee when covid was at it's worst. I was an agency employee working in an all Covid unit hospital. During my first week starting there many of my protected rights were violated as well as many of the hospitals policies were violated when a Charge Nurse (main hospital employee/Non agency employee) had screamed at me, harassed me, followed me, threatened to physically dragged me down the hallway, (unsafe work environment/workplace violence/harassment/intimidation.) I was also not given report about the pt I was supposed to do a 1 to 1 on who didn't even speak English. (Unsafe work environment/patient safety risk). When I made a formal complaint I was immediately taken off the schedule ( unjustified adverse action against me). When I called my staffing agencies recruiter after a week of not being able to work I was put back on the schedule but then I would get a phone call from the staffing department at the hospital every single day to inform me that I was "cut" because of over staffing. Which was a lie (adverse action against me). I would call the hospitals staffing department every day to see if there were any shifts that were available to pick up and I would be lied to and told no. I knew there were plenty of shifts available because I asked one of the main hospital employees who I worked with if I could take a picture of the monthly schedule of all the open shifts that were available that only main hospital employees had access to. I would email my recruiter ever day and relay to them what I was told, because I would get a different story every day. I would send emails of all the screen shots of the open availability calendar to the staffing department with screen shots of the time I called, the name of the person I talked to who had told me there were no shifts available, and then I would call the floor I was supposed to be working on that night and ask who was working. Eventually I was able to connect all the dots and once I proved that I was in fact being intentionally being lied to in order to prevent me from working my scheduled contracted hours, I started getting phone calls directly from the staffing manager to be the first to pick up whatever days I wanted before they published the Schedule for everyone else to see. When I was finally able to work I was scheduled to work with the exact same charge nurse I originally complained about! Which I felt extremely uncomfortable. This nurse would follow me into rooms and "pretend" to be looking for something, repeatedly leaving and coming back open and close cabinets and drawers, but never can "find what they're looking for." I would be given extra work assignments, extra pts, duties and tasks, where I would be so overloaded with work I wouldn't be able to take a break. (Illegal) I would be given multiple critically ill pts who had coded on me at the same time. This Hospital ended my contract early (wrongful Termination), blaming me for breaching the contract because I didn't fulfil the contracted hours agreed upon, which is obviously impossible because it was their decision to cut my Hours and intentionally prevented me from being able to work.

Ive watched all your videos about this, which were helpful. I've researched extensively but do not financially have the means to take action, as well as the statute of limitations is not long and I've passed it I believe. I live in MN so unfortunately you're not able to help me. It's difficult because most people don't know what steps they need to take to actually do something about their situation untill it's too late. Or many things don't necessarily qualify as something that would be considered a violation of a protected right or illegal, pervasive or unreasonable perse. Although it's "unfair" and " not right" doesn't make it illegal. It's gives employers a lot of room to abuse their power and there's not much we can do about it.

I remember when I worked at Publix from 2004 to 2010 and I remember that I had a medical condition of major depression and at the time, it was causing me to abuse alcohol and then one week, I was hospitalized for severe depression, then when I got out of the hospital, that's when I was fired. I then wasn't able to draw unemployment, nor disability, nor was I immediately able to start a new job, so in order to survive back in 2011 and 2012, I was literally forced to break the law and camp out in the woods or in an abandoned building for which I was then arrested for trespassing. Even though I was adjudicated guilty, I still don't consider myself to be guilty because I had to survive and sleep somewhere and I couldn't afford to pay rent anywhere, not even with my family members. Yeah, the United States has terrible help for those who are unemployed and unable to afford a place to stay.

I then asked to rescind my resignation as there is a new manager coming and I was assured by coworker/friends she is very good. My request to cancel my resignation was denied. I put in a 2 week notice and asked to cancel it in less than 24 hours but it was denied. I always got good annual review, excellent peer review , good attendance, superior work knowledge and performance. I feel the harassment was too much to bear and if I got fired it would ruin my career so I quit with notice in writing.

I worked for Walmart and a small grocery Walmart and we were always told to work through our brakes when the company Walmart says the brakes are mandatory and we can get in trouble for not taking them out of time I refused to skip my brakes or wait to take my brakes I always took them at the policy scheduled time which is every two and a half hours one morning I went to take my break and was told I don't need to come back from my break. And then was told I quit cuz I left on my break. I'm guessing to avoid playing or paying any unemployment benefits I complained several times about this to corporate before this incident and being treated badly for impossible task that we did have not have enough people to finish or time to finish they would short our department several people and expect us to get the same amount of work that seven people get done with three or they would take them away and put them in another department and still reprimand us for not finishing on time when we did not have the proper amount of people the truck was often late delivering the groceries and we were told we can't go on our brakes till the truck was delivered and put away this sometimes took all day so we didn't end up getting our brakes till the end of the day this breaks Walmart policy it puts me between a rock and a hard place. Is this wrongful termination or what if the corporate part of Walmart tells you to follow policy but your store manager and managers at the individual store you're at make you break them and threaten to write you up or terminate you if you do follow the policy. And I did receive taliation retaliation for calling corporate it made for a very hostile work environment I also complained about a manager several times for being outright disrespectful rude and making my job hell just because she could.

Would hired at one job doing it for 3 years. Then all the sudden they drastically change job assignments from lets say admin job like purchasing to maintenance plant ops. When you refuse they tell you to go home leave your keys which is only access to building. Now is that firing or quiting? The call you next day asking what you're going to do..

What if my boyfriend was told by his manager to go home twice then when he listened to her and went home she hurried up and called the g.m and said he walked out and she made her statement four days later and she huddled up with the employees on camera right after he left to gather her story . He was on schedule for them four days but wasn't aloud to go to work when he said he was willing to be professional and work even if it was with the manager that was lien on him she threw a fit and said if they don't fire him she will quit and call corporate. So they kept her and terminated him for apparently leaving but he was told to leave by the manager twice so if he stayed wouldn't of he got in trouble ?

We are in SoCal. Wife was terminated for being on medical leave too long. 2022 Heart patient with bypass surgery then months later in January 2023 contracted dangerous staph infection which hospitalized her all of January and most of February 2023. Then massive home nursing therapy for months after that. Disability ran out October 1st so she notified her job about coming back on October 2nd but was then sent a brush off email from the company CEO.

Violation of Public policy. 100's of examples. Unsafe work environment was the 1 I had to bring up to my boss. I wasn't gonna carry things in an unsafe way. I simply said in a non threatening way but in writing that "I need accommodations with how this is carried. I need to be able to use the cart because of back strain. Otherwise im gonna have to move on." Seeing this video gave me the confidence to speak up. I don't care that my boss didn't mind doing things the improper m hard way even putting herself at risk. I did mind. Now we worked it out. I think saying this might have helped her get her standards up herself. Now shes even started using the cart more than before and she seems less stressed.

Under union contract the employer could not retaliate on issues of attendance, there was a point system in place. I went home sick and a section of production went down. Due to the remaining forklift driver being unable to attend the excess work load. after i had started the procedure to leave (filling out paper, seeking supervisor to acknowledge) i was written up for leaving "a mess" at that production line. I never had not been trucking that production line. This write up led to my termination within weeks. I urged the union to defend me but got little too no response. To be frank, rarely did the union directly face the company. The union either didn't face the company or didn't build a sufficient case. The company decided they wouldn't repeal any of the write ups that led to this outcome. It was only days until my first of 3 would have fallen off the record. I was wondering what the time frame for filling a lawsuit against the company or union since i have not been financially stable until only recently. 3 years later. Any comments are welcome.

They CC’d the COO trying to blackmail me then terminated me the next day without cause when I sent proof of contacting all parties. I then get a severance package the next day and nobody could explain as to why I was immediately discharged. I feel it was discrimination and retaliation. My last message to my boss was I feel HR was after me and my intuition was true. I was one of the top performer’s.

I was a month new to the job. I was the only female on their line and it very much felt like they didn’t appreciate that. So when they fired me he said that it “wasn’t a good fit” and that that was all he had for me. I asked if he wanted me to work my shift or leave then and he said “please”. I signed no contracts. But am quite pissed and hurt.

Hello, I would like to understand why we have soo many social problems. In my opinion, part of the problem is unEqual protection of our own at-will employment laws for unemployment compensation in our own at-will employment States. Is employment at the Will of Either party for Any public policy or not? Currently, it seems like only the State or the capitalist-employer have that right for unemployment compensation. I believe we should have no homeless problem due to unequal protection of our own at-will employment laws for unemployment compensation. The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. (And State equivalents apply.)

I was fired for something that I didn’t do. After our morning meeting we were told we failed an order and we had to redo it, I jokingly told my “friend” it must have been that product I sent you that you failed us for, of course I did not know she was actually the one that failed it because they keep that information private, however 90% of the time she is the reason why we fail because she admits it to us all of the time. I told her I was kidding because we always joke around with one another, and she seemed upset after I reassured her it was a joke. She then told another colleague who likes stirring the pot and scared her into thinking she was going to get in trouble which is not true and she reported that I sabotaged her work, which is impossible because our audits are pulled 100% from our own trays. I was sent home and it was investigated, the investigator had no idea what I was talking about because he’s never stepped a foot in our plant. I explained the humor we have with one another but it didn’t matter. I was fired. Another colleague that I still talk to was fired because the supervisor kept editing his time clock card everyday by 15 minutes, so he wasn’t getting paid for those 15 minutes so he got in trouble for not being in the work area early for free, he said why would I come up here early? You keep editing my time card and I’m not getting paid for it. So he sent him home also to be investigated and ge got fired too. The new supervisor we had wanted to make an example out of us, colleagues that I still talk to that are still employed there and that have been for the past 25+ years have never worked under anyone that has fired that many people in the time frame he has been in charge. The entire time I have worked there I have been harassed and reported it and nothing happened and sexually harassed and nothing happened. I can’t say the company name that I worked for because it’s globally known especially after Covid-19. I’ve learned my lesson to not make any jokes with people at the workplace.
