I should start out with how this all came about. Recently, a new Store Manager came into the convenience store which my significant other was employed at (she was still empoyed at the time). The new manager doesn't feel that doing anything there but ordering others around is her job. After a week or two of this, almost every single employee had multiple complaints regarding this. Most of them ended up going to their supervisor with their complaints (their shift supervisor being my girlfriend), and so, following the chain of command, she talked to the Assistant Manager, and the A.M. told her that he agreed and told her to call the Regional Manager with the complaint. Two days later, the R.M. came down to the store to talk with the Store Manager, the Assistant Manager, and my significant other, the Shift Supervisor. After talking with the A.M., the R.M. spoke with my girlfriend, and after a few questions, he told her that he didn't like anything she said, and told her that her version and the A.M.'s version of the telephone message differed (even though the A.M. was NEVER asked about the message), and fired her on the spot. Yet, virtually every employee at that store can back the fact that what she told the Regional Manager was 100% true. Is this wrongful termination?

Nope, not in the least.

I agree with most everything in the article averad linked but there is one glaring mistake; where it says, "Many states require just cause before terming you". That is only true if you consider one state to be many. The ONLY state where just cause is required is Montana, and it is not even always true in Montana.
