I really need some advice please. I was fired from my job two days after telling my immediate supervisor that my back was hurting. I had fallen 5 times at work because of slippery floors. My back didn't start hurting immediately, so I thought I was just a little bruised. The cause of my termination is supposedly for poor job performance, but that is so not true. I spoke to the owner of the company the day after I was fired and encouraged him to speak with my coworkers. Everyone was in shock when I was fired and I know they will vouch for me. I had spoken to the owner once before about my immediate supervisor. I complained about her constant references to sex and the male anatomy, about her stealing from the company, and about how slippery and dangerous the floors were. I told the owner that more people would come to him, but they were afraid of losing their jobs if they did. He assured me that I was in no danger of losing my job. He told me that he was going to have a meeting with all of the employees and address these issues. That never happened. In the meantime, my supervisor continued to demean me in front of other employees and customers, even yelling at me. She gave me all the undesirable jobs and shifts, making me do so much more than everyone else. She even stopped workers while they were in the middle of a task and told them to save it for me to do. I was never reprimanded for poor job performance or told I was doing things improperly or not doing enough. Sunday, my last full day at work, my supervisor told a coworker that she was going to make sure I was fired Monday. Within five minutes of clocking in Monday, I was told that I was fired because it "just wasn't working out." I asked for the reason(s) to be put in writing, so the manager, assistant manager(my boss), and a fellow coworker went into the office and wrote out some pretty flimsy reasons for my termination. To add insult, my immediate supervisor put a copy of those reasons in our department in a drawer that everyone has access to. I guess she wants everyone to read it. On a side note, I still have been unable to get my paychecks. At least fifteen people I worked with have told me not to let them get away with this. What can I do about it all? I have no clue where to start. I would appreciate any advice.
