Hi, Im from California..
I just recently was fired for bringing it to the attention of the owner of the company I worked for that one of our companies managers was frequently under the influence of marijuana outside work and also at work. I told the owner that I did not feel comfortable working with this manager and I'd like to atleast be put on different shifts then him. I was told by the owner hat I was an excellent worker and that he didnt want to lose me, so hed look into it and to work my shifts normal as normal until further notified. I went in to work four days later and I was let go. I was told that it wasnt working out, and that I needed to get my stuff from behind the front counter, and turn in my keys. I have been working for this company on and off for 4-5 years and I havent done anything wrong except for the one write up I got when I was 12 minutes late because of a traffic accident, and that was months and months ago. The manager who I spoke to the owner about is also the tech for the store, there is no one else in the store who knows how to fix our equipment, and I really doubt there is anyone else in the area that could fix it if he was fired. I believe the owner knows this and is scared to let this manager go. I believe I was fired wrongly, and I want to do something about it. I was hoping you might be able to give me some advice on what I could do that would best fit my situation. This is a small company, used to be owned by a franchise, but the corprate went down and now they are all owned individually. This one in particular is owned by 2 parties, and the other owner is currently in Arizona starting up another location. I know California is an at will state, but there is some kind of something going on here. Keeping the person who was complained about (because they are using an illegal substance) and getting rid of the person that knows about the problem, so the owner wont have to deal with it just seems WRONG to me. Any advice you can give me would greatly be appreciated..
Thank you.
