I am currently employed under a new manager. This manager has
a problem with my going to school. During a recent
conversation with him I pointed out the fact that the
previous 3 managers were fine with the arrangement. I further
stated that if he felt that this was not in the companies
best interest any longer then he should swap me to part time
or simply let me go. His exact response was "If I let you go
then you get unemployment, I going to schedule over the time
when you are in class and then fire you for a no call no show
so you don't get the unemployment." I also provided the
employer with a wriiten availability highlighting what times
I am available and what times I am not. Beyond this he also
denied my vacation request a few weeks ago stating that he
didn't have any coverage and then granted another employees
with a similar position. Additionally he denied my annual
raise but granted it to other employees with inferior sales.
Do I have any recourse here? This business is in CA and this
is an "at will" state.
