Wrongfully threatened with termination (abuse) California (Employment & Labor Law)

Sat, 13 Jan 2007 00:19:00 GMT

Hi
was not sure exactly where to post so I posted here and in hiring and firing.

I am a network admin (IT) for a small telecommunications company.

2 days ago I was called into my managers office, she was asking me about a meeting we had earlier in the day with some contract application programmers.

We chatted normally for about the meeting for about 5 minutes. Then my manager got a real serious look, kinda mean look on her face and then she said the following "If I ever see that crap again I will fire you"

I have no idea what she was talking about. I assumed she thinks she saw something either on my computer or something to that effect. She didn't specify what "it" was or when she saw "it". Need less to say I grew extremely uncomfortable. I felt threatened and very upset.

I was dismissed right away, apologizing for something I didnt even do.

I left for an early lunch and and just drove around trying to figure out what to do. The next day the owner who I kind of personally like came and wanted to talk to me. He told me thing about my manager blaming me for a outage on our system that wasnt my fault. This was amazing to hear considering I was very fond of my manger and she was always kind to me.

But after the holidays she has been very distant and acting rather bizzarre. I do not see her acting this way towards anyone else. Something is going behind the scenes. I was uncomfortable talking the owner and i felt cornered and trapped by him, though he seemed very understanding he was doing alot of defending of her. Thats when I told him she threatened the day before.

He seemed shocked but quickly covered it up by saying thats not going to happen and to not worry.

I am not worried about being fired. I am absolutely disgusted I was treated this way. If anyone knows of any legal action I can take please inform me.

I have a 13 month old baby boy and a 9 year old boy who has cancer and I don't enjoy being threatened by people at work. As each day has gone by I have grown more traumatized by that incident. I can not believe it even happened but I have lost sleep the last two nights and I am very uncomfortable at work.

No one should be treated that way. Please help me figure out what actions I should pursue, thank you.
