What is the name of your state? California
Can anyone tell me if I have a case or what I need to do?
I was accused by a coworker of 2 things in the past 3 weeks and terminated.
1)The co worker said that I continually asked her if She liked our supervisor. She said I came over to her desk and Said "do you like "his name" over and over until she said I like him as a coworker. she said she got upset when I kept asking.
What happened from my recollection is this: we have a company basketball team in which myself and my supervisor(i'll call him BLANK) are the Managers...the female coworker that played with us on the team last season had not specified if she was going to play this season...when I was completing the roster I went over to her desk and asked if she was going to play this season...(The day before, BLANK had told me and her he wouldnt be participating due to he was getting married and didn t have time.) So when i asked her she said NO she wouldn't be playing either...then I asked her if she wasn't playing because BLANK wasn't playing and she said no she had other commitments also...so I went back to my desk and completed finishing the roster... That's all that was said...
2) she said a few days later that I told her she was selfish for having a child out of wedlock. that I told her that she should have used a condom and she never should have gaped her legs open, and that she was so appalled she told me to be quiet and walked away.
what happened as I remember was she called me over to her desk and when i got there she showed me some houses on her computer that she was thinking of purchasing, really expensive houses near the 1 million dollar range, so I said don't you think those houses are a little too much and your boyfriend doesnt have a job.(he's training to be a fireman)so she said when he got out of training he and her salaries would be over 100k a year plus his family was wealthy and they could afford it. So I said dont you think your're being a little selfish putting that on him, she replied no and that he wanted it too, so I told her he was probably doing it because he loves her and wanted to keep her happy but I thought that was selfish of her and that in the past she has seem selfish to me from our conversations..she asked me how do I define selfish so i told her many ways, when people have children out of wedlock, i thought thats being selfish, she said she had a daughter out of wedlock but it was an accident, I said true, but you could avoid it in the future if you simply use protection or even better if you gonna have sex and dont have protection use your will power and say no....She agreed and I went back to my desk.
two weeks later I get called into HR and was told what she said above an they fired me within 2 days of speaking to me and not letting me write my side of the story down to give to them to investigate...I am 49 years old and this girl is 20...Is this grounds for dismissal?

Since your co-worker did not ASK for your analysis on how she's living her life and you're not her mother, all I can say is that you should keep your opinions to yourself and mind your own business.
