Please stop posting in all caps, or we will fire you too.

You have no case. Look for a new job.

Nice.

First, typing in all capitals makes a post almost impossible to read. It is considered yelling on the internet.

Add in your numerous grammatical and spelling errors and you are lucky you got a response at all.

Having said that, nothing you posted pointed to an illegal termination. Employers are not courts of law. They do not have to assemble witnesses or gather evidence.

They can fire you for no reason at all. They are also constitutionally allowed to have an opinion.

The above advice was correct. You look for another job.

...and if Patty were online she'd tell him that they could fire him for wearing green socks if they felt like it and it would still be legal:D

A wrongful termination does not mean that you were fired for something you didn't do - it means that you were fired for a reason prohibited by law. This was not a wrongful termination. File for unemployment and look for a new job.

Anyone else think that this should just be an AutoReply to any and all posts on this board? Just a thought. :D

Oh lord yes. :p

I doubt the posters will believe anything auto, their situation is unique! lmao:rolleyes:
Many of us (I think) have the standard responses saved in Word. Copy. Paste. Easy-Peasy.
Another one is "of course you have to pay it back". :rolleyes:

But there's always that personal thing. Everyone feels like their situation is different, and whether it is or not, their feelings are real. I spent many years doing "reality orientation counseling" for clients. (They tell you how they'd like the world to operate, and you tell them how it really does operate.) But perhaps some folks will be inspired to act (and vote) to make the world more as they'd like it to be.

Love your green socks line, patti!

That's true, and God bless 'em. But you can only read...

"Hi, I've read all the posts on here about at-will employment, I know what at-will employment is, I know I work in an at-will employment state, and I know that I can be fired for anything as long as it's not due to my race, sex, religion, etc. But, I was just fired because I gave my friends my store discount. Do I have a case for wrongful termination?

...so many times before you want to just punch your monitor.
