What is the name of your state? California
I am being personally being sued for wrongful termination by a former employee, she is also suing my former boss for wrongful termination and sexual harassment. The company is out of business and the owner has been dismissed from the case because he filled bankruptcy. I only supervised this employee for 3 months and had cause to fire her. I feel caught in the middle because of the harassment accusations against my manager, without these there would be no case.
I have been told that in California managers are not personally liable for any decisions made in the course and scope of employment. Is this correct? Also if so what would be the best way to get myself removed from the case. The plaintiff’s lawyer told me in a phone conversation that he was going to advise for my dismissal but now doesn’t seem to want to probably because I am currently representing myself.
Thanks
