What is the name of your state? NY
I worked for a company for almost 3 years before getting fired. My annual reviews were great and I got along with everyone at the company, except my manager apparently. About a year and a half before getting let go, my manager referred to me as a slave in an email message to the HR director. My manager gave her boss and me some crazy reason why she referred to me that way. She said it was because I was a hard worked and doing everything that are entire department was to be doing.
I didn't take it that way and was real close to leaving. I stayed and worked through it. I have never been fired from a job before and the reason that she let me go was unrelated.
I received a new job about one month after being let go, but I continue to think about it and have bad feelings thinking that my current employer may feel the same way. I am in a professional position and do not want to experience it again.
I want to know if I can sue my former employer for my manager describing me as a slave. Is there a statute of limitations?
Thanks
