What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I am currently located in Okinawa, Japan. My company is located in Virginia and I am a resident of Florida... Complicated enough?
First, I am having trouble finding legal representation. My termination date is May 1 and I have until March 1 to agree to the severance agreement.
Background:
I am a married father of 3 on a US contract located in Okinawa, Japan on a US mil base.
I have worked for a major aerospace company for 8 years and 7 of those years have been overseas. Last year my manager was fired and new manager was hired with no management education and no management experience.
6 months after he was hired, he began to be dissatisfied with my performance but extended my location contract without request. I came up with a plan to improve the discrepancies that he noted and hit all the gates. A month later he made comments at a conference that his employees should not be distracted by their family life ( specifically having to leave at end of shift to pick up kids instead of working late). I was out of work in October for sickleave and he made surprise trip to my field location in early November to fill in for me. While he was here he made comments to contractors that this was a job for a SINGLE MAN. He began throwing a tantrum and threw consumables around the office and slamming doors when I returned from sick leave. He expressed dissatisfaction with my performance and stated he would put me on a Personnel Improvement Plan.
In January he called with HR via telecon and stated that I was being terminated but could apply for a shop job at the overhaul facility (not comparable job).
I am not sure if I have a case or not. I have witnesses that are willing to sign an affidavit as to his statements about wanting single men (such as himself) in this position.
My customer is pleased with my performance and has requested that I stay.
Please help. I cannot find legal representation at the moment and I feel that I am being hung out to dry.
