What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? ARIZONA
I know that Arizona is a "right to work" state which means I can either be let go or quit at anytime, legally. However, I feel that something fishy went on with my situation. My boyfriend worked for the same company I did. The employers kept promising him reviews and raises, which never actualized. He looked for employment elsewhere and then gave his two weeks' notice when he had found another job. Two days after he left the company, my boss called me up late that afternoon (while I was at work) and told me that it would be my last day and he'd pay me through that day (what a nice guy, right?). I asked why I was being let go... he had just given me a raise, told me what a wonderful job I was doing, and said that everyone in the company loved me. He also said he had never had someone do that particular job so well. He said, "There are some confidentiality issues, I'm not going to say anymore, you can let your mind wander." I remembered back to a week or so prior when he had asked me to "watch" certain employees in regards to their production. This was odd because that was NOT something someone in my job usually does. I knew the people in question (who were good friends of mine and upstanding people) were probably going to get fired unless they knew that they should boost their production. I let them know they should pick up the pace. When my boss fired me, he was referring to that incident. However, that was in the best interest of the company and it was only helping people out, not hurting anyone - especially the employer. I am 99% sure that he set me up to do that because he had a personal issue with my boyfriend leaving the company. I've been denied unemployment benefits and am about to attend an appeals hearing. What should I know or bring in defense?
