Wrongful Termination? (Employment & Labor Law)

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 09:38:00 GMT

I was recently fired from my job - the reason I was given was that my boss and I were a mis-match. That I wasn't giving him what he wanted. He was never very clear on what he did want. He would say one thing and then when it was done the way he wanted it, he would nit-pick - try to find something wrong and I would have to re-do it over. He would do this at least 3 times with every project. I did my job over and above the call of duty, actually taking work home to do it on the weekends. Nothing I did was ever good enough. My 3 month review was satisfactory - with him hinting about if things didn't improve-things were not going to work out. I got the feeling that he did not like me and that he was trying to find a way to "get rid of me" I know NY is a at will state but I feel that I have been wrongfully terminated. Is there anything I can do about it?

  • Based on what you have shared with us, your termination was lawful. It may have been unfair, but it was lawful. Sorry.

    Read about wrongful termination at the freeadvice.com homepage under the main heading employment law. If you still feel you were wrongfully terminated, may I suggest you seek advice from an employment labor law attorney in your state who can help you decide whether this is a matter worth pursuing.
