What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
I have worked for the same company for 4 1/2 years. I begin my employment working in one location. While there I received many, many awards for performance and was promoted once. I decided due to personal reasons to transfer to another location. After I was there I soon regreted my decsion. In the new enviroment I discovered I was very much the minority. More than 3/4 of the work place. I was passed over for at least 3 promotions and never once recievced an award, while keeping the same stats I had at the prior location. I also felt very uncomfortable in the work enviroment. As an April Fools joke they packed up my things and placed them in a box on my desk as if I was fired. I continued to make my stats in fact in my last 6 month as a employee I was the ONLY person in my department making stats. I do believe discrimnation may have taken place while I was working there
Any time we were sick or late we were written up, not wanting to receive a write up, 2 weeks ago when I was extremely sick I went into work any, advised my sup of my illness and if they had any time off avaliable I would like to take it. I worked for approx 4 hours and went home without a write up.
The next day I worked for approx 5 hours and was called to HR where my sup advised me I was being suspended for cussing on the floor. I advised my sup and HR I did no such thing. HR stated believed my sup and I was being suspended and they would make a decsion the following day if I still had employment. That day they accused me of this it was only me, my sup and one other sup on the floor.
I went in the next day and was terminated. I refused to sign the write up which now included information from the other sup that was there that I also cussed at a seperate time that while walking to the break room which I knew was impossible because the only time I went to the break room that day I was running and covering my mouth to keep from being sick on the floor.
Nothing like has ever occured before. I have been a very good employee. Constintally, meeting and exceeding stats. I have never cussed at fellow employees, customers or managers. I have never received write ups verbal or written for any type of misconduct.
I have filed for unemployment and I am currently seeking a lawyer. I'm not sure what to do from here.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
