Hi, I was fired for a supposed conflict of interest because I worked for two technology companies that "offer an identical or similar service". I understand that I can be terminated for any reason by an at-will employer.
However, my question is this. I was referred to Company B for employment by a manager from Company A. This manager was a friend of the owner of Company B. And here's the kicker. This manager also previously worked for Company A and B simultaneously.
The head manager of Company A who fired me KNEW about his subordinate manager's (whom recommended me to Company B) situation with both companies, yet did not pursue similar conflict of interest proceedings.
I believe that the head manager of Company A is using this as a vehicle to get rid of me because of a personal vendetta, which is the result of past whistle-blowing reports I have made internally against said head manager. Please advise me towards any legal recourse I have in these matters. Thank you.
