What is the name of your state? WA
The boss has had a history of not taking charge when employment issues happen. His management staff do not take him seriously and do what they wish. A recent situation which occured is that He specified a specific dress code that all, both staff and managment will abide by. The dress code as per the boss' statement went into effect the day it was given out to the employees. Two of the management team continued to wear what they wanted in direct opposition to the boss' statement. The boss did not discipline these two but allowed for their conduct. The claimant questioned the boss if he was still to adhere to the said dress code due to the actions of the two in management. The boss' response was "Yes, you are required to adhere to my dress code." However, the two in management continued to dress as they wished even after the boss' requirement was stated in an official staff meeting. I've been harassed and treated unfairly during employment by the two managers because the boss will not keep in check imbalances in power.
Now I've been fired for not deferring to a worker who is female, directly under one of the managers yet is less than part-time. However, in terms of seniority, I am older (40 and male), have worked at the company longer (6 1/2 years), was full-time, have more experience in the industry (20 years).
I'm totally bewildered by this company's action and wonder if I might have a legitimate suit.
Thanks.
