What is the name of your state? CA
I worked for a company Sept. 7th would of been my 2 yrs. on Friday June 22nd I was fired and given 2 wks severence pay, which incidently I have not received yet. I was suppose to be a direct deposit in my account this morning and was not.
I feel that I was fired because of an affair my boss was having with the military packaging lady. She started harrassing me the third month I was their when I got my first raise. She pulled me outside and asked if my boss was trying to get in my pants, I was shocked, and said no. She then told me she had been having an affair with him for 17 yrs. and please don't tell anyone. I kept this to myself, but the harrassment continued, She told me every bad thing he ever said about me over this two year period. about a month after the raise incident I ended up walking out from her harrassment, realizing what I had just done, I went straight to urgent care, and my blood pressure was thru the roof. I went back the next day, my boss had left for the week and told my supervisor why I had left and what she had told me. I told him I felt stuck between a rock & hard spot. He agreed with me. this has continued for two yrs. back in april I made the mistake of telling this woman I was gonna ask for a raise. She told the boss and to make a long story short, I ended up in his office and told him what she had said a yr. earlier, since that time he has made my life hell. He asked me to look for a file on the Monday before he fired me. I didn't have time to look for it, I have my hands full with all the work here. (I do all office work for his two seperate co.) I told him, (The file mysterisly came up missing out of my file box over my computer, over the weekend the week prior) and he replied "Oh I think you did, (have time) I think you do what ever you please around here" I beleive I was set-up because I know to much about what has been going on. I've seen the porno he emailed her, (she voleentarily would show me and when the computers got viruses (network) I got blamed for a virus from a chat room....I've never even been in a chat room on my home computer, much less work. Is there any legal grounds for me to sue him for wrongful termination? or any other grounds?
Thanx for your time.

You certainly describe a miserable work situation but nothing that took place was unlawful, with the possible exception of the porno she showed you. (How often did that happen and did you ever tell her or your boss that you did NOT want to see that?)

Why did you stay there for 2 years and not start looking for another job once you realized what working there was going to be like?
