I couldn't even get my foot in the door. I was slandered and when I spoke out my voice was unheard. The only way I could be heard was by making a video that I put on here. I was retaliated against when I tried to speak out. Lies were told about me and rumors were spread to new workers. I was later terminated, while the man who started the rumor were coddled by the female workers and administration. Eeoc didn't help at all.

Poor performance is subjective to management.
My previous employer changed my work schedule without notifying me 24 hours in advance and wrote me up as tardy. I showed him in the employee handbook that schedule changes must be notified 24 hours in advance. The manager said it was no big deal and that tardy record will come off after 90 days, which was a complete lie since any future job openings require a six months performance review and that tardiness was still in my file and never got erased, and thus prevented me from applying for other positions.

You forgot to add one of the main reasons: first what attorneys do, they contact the opposite party and look what they could get for themselves. If there is something there, they get agreement behind their client's back. And they are not afraid of anything - the BAR covers them well

This is funny. I had to comment on his statement that HR doesn't keep your information confidential. I had HR call be in once about another employee who was under investigation. They asked me some questions about that person and I answered honestly. They said everything I said would be kept confidential. Well, later on, that employee comes at me all pissed off because I sold them out to HR. They knew exactly what I had said. I went back to HR and was like "I thought you said what I told you would be kept confidential!" And the swore up and down they didn't share what I had said to that employee. Well, I didn't tell anybody else what I had said. So it could only have come from one place. Yeah, don't trust HR with anything. If you have an issue with your workplace or another employee, either keep your mouth shut and deal with it, or find another job. And if HR asks you to participate in an investigation of another employee, tell them you don't know anything. Just do your job and go home.

The easiest to win is when the employer asks you to do something that is illegal and can cause physical harm or causes physical harm..

I called one of those 3rd-party Ethics Complaint phone numbers mentioned in our employee handbook and they sent my complaint straight to my direct manager.

A country is only as good as its courts. We must have great courts

Very true about the first. Lying. My cousins are lawyers. they've had cases where their clients either didnt tell them, or withheld embarrassing but relevant facts. And my cousins hate losing, even if their clients have odds against them as they can still turn the table eventually. So the very first time they talk to their legal rep first before the actual lawyer, they are immediately warned, do not lie. Tell the WHOLE truth or seek another lawyer. And they always offers them tea, which has a calming effect, where they can relax and not get too emotional before the talk.

Once a decision is made.You don't stand a chance. Your gone.

How do I go about getting fired for supposedly doing a no call no show but on the date my boss stated I wasn’t there I have proof I was at work and proof I got paid for said day he claimed I wasn’t there he lied to unemployment benefits I got all that proof also but he cost me my house and my car now I’m struggling more then ever

I had dealt with a solid year of discrimination and retaliation with several hr cases and grievances with my union to note it

Couldnt even get a lawyer to say they could do something about it so many hear a big company name and immediately get intimidated its literally just mgm grand no person or institution should be above accountability

[helenewebster-sisk]

I told and documented my attorney, Kevin Little, the good, bad, and ugly concerning my Discriminated Wrongful Termination etc.

[iheartmoneybags]

im in the middle or start of one they called me and want to setup a mediation date to settle out of court

[newtuberfreedom]

Sometimes HR lies - what can we do about that?

[goldenboy]

Would I have a case where the employer moved me to a techincal role without extending me a new contract offer letter. This has resulted in under compensation and even a pay cut if you consider OT. They have been stringing me along with fixing this for more than a year.

Can a person be fired in the state of Georgia, for just uttering the words workman's comp in Georgia during a brief conversation? All the attorneys I talk to in Georgia can't help me for some reason. Georgia, is an at will state BUT something doesn't feel right about it because it's not on the job point system as a procedure to take and or grounds use for termination. They just terminate without warning.

[kevincassidy]

I was by told lawyers in New Hampshire and Massachsuetts that an employee generally does not have standing to sue their employer if it was considered employment-at-will. In that case, it wouldn't matter even if the employer violated verbal agreements or accused the employee of something they didn't do. The only exception would be if one was believed to be terminated due to race, disability, or some other legally protected class.

Now it's a different story a fired employee is looking to collect unemployment which, if deemed eligible, would require the employer to pay into the state's unemployment system. That can and does lead to one party disclosing bad truths about the other and even hearings where one can question the other under oath. It should also be noted that even if a fired employee has another job and has no intention of claiming weekly benefits, they still can file an unemployment claim against a former employer if they expect to win the case. For that reason, I wouldn't say that the employer has nothing to lose when they fire an employee without just cause.

Good afternoon, When an attorney files a claim with the court of appeals who is responsible for the court fees??

[dr.debbiewilliams]

They lied. The Lawyer lied. My job was not protected by a Union (despite the fact that I reached out yo them), and at will work means they can fire me if they want to.

[irieadams]

I have been unfairly fired several times
