What is the name of your state? North Carolina
I was fired because another employee told my supervisor he “might have felt threatened” by things I said to him. Do I have any legal recourse?
Background: I had been on medication for depression for about the last six months of my position in a large company. A co-worker had been coming in to my general cubicle area and making disparaging sexual remarks. This led to emotional interference for my getting my job done due to mental anxiety.
I have an outburst within a couple of days at which point a co-worker says “Did you forget to take your medication today?”
I confront this co-worker asking him in general “what his problem was” I was extremely upset over this due to the fact that I was on medication and this in itself for extremely traumatic for me.
Someone who overheard must have reported this to my supervisor, who proceeded to question this employee. The co-worker was led by my supervisor to indicate that he felt somewhat threatened by my behavior. Shortly thereafter I was shown the door.
Do I have a case? If so, why and how should I proceed (other than find and attorney to represent me)?
Thank you.What is the name of your state?
