Do you think that I was wrongfully terminated? What should I do?

hipergirl22

Your old boss boss is a fink...I can think of worse words to describe him , but hey, i don't want to get reported. You can call the Labour board and rat him out, because he is defiantly in the wrong, but I doubt that much can be done about it since you were only there for two weeks. Boycott the joint instead! Be thankful you're not working for such a shallow s-o-b...if he does things like this..what else do you suppose he cheats on???Hmm

Sounds unfair, i mean work is supposed to be judged on performance not relationships.

Good luck!

Go over their head to THEIR boss to see why they did that. Maybe a store manager has supreme executive power that even common sense doesn't effect.
but if you get the job back, remember, you have to work with these jags.
Is it worth it?

Call the human resources department that represents that subway and find out why you were terminated. I believe they have to have written documentation of why they fired you.

hechicera_de_la_alma

Yes you were but what reason did they give you? Get it in writing but honestly since you only worked there for a short time and it is only Subway just forget it and look for a better job :) Life is too short.

Iamstitch2U

Yes you were and you should report this to your state labor board.

youdamnedkid

Agreed- if that's all there is to the story, you were wrongfully terminated.

jnb8589

Yes, I do!

Definately file a complaint with your Department of Labor.

Get an attorney. Every city has legal aide, get a consult.

Autumn_Anne

Get a lawyer! You were definetly wrongfully terminated! At least talk to one! The consultation is free. You'll get something out of it for sure. Good luck hun!

Roadkill

Probably, but I wouldn't sweat it. Go out and get another job, put that one behind you. It's not worth fretting over, you said it, its a job at Subway. Shouldn't be very hard to come up with another job, that pays as much or more, consentrate on getting another job don't focus on this deal. And learn from it, you probably should have never told them about being the room mate of a terminated employee.

mrs. nighs

ask him the real reason you were termenated if it is not right call a lawyer ask the boss to put it in writing

35 and loving it!

Most states are right to work so as long as the employer as not discriminated based upon race, religion, or gender usually you have no recourse. Now if they deny unemployment you can state your case there.

Depends on the state you live in.

I live in a right to starve state. They can fire you for any reason

snow l

may be..

they may not like something too

were u late?

Sounds like it. Go get a GOOD attorney who specializes in wrongful termination, civil rights. Good luck.

jumpingrightin

You are leaving out a lot of information. When were you fired? Who fired you? What did they say the reason you were being fired for was? Did you mention to who was firing you, that you believe they are firing you because of your roommate? If so, what did that say?

Minister of Peace

If that is all there is to the story, you were definitely wrongfully terminated.
Does your boss have a boss? If so, file a formal complaint.
If he owns the Subway, call the Labor Board. There are laws to protect you from this behavior.

styx_fan05

That's ****** up. As you said, just because she's your roommate, you shouldn't get fired. I think that you should contact a lawyer or someone who knows how to handle this because I think you were wrongfully terminated. Now you said that the owner wanted you to bring in your school schedule tomorrow so he can see your availability. Did he actually fire you or just give you unpaid leave? I don't understand exactly if he put you on unpaid leave or you actually got fired or were wrongfully terminated, because he wants to see your school schedule, yet you keep saying that you got fired and were wrongfully terminated. I'd like a little more clarification please, but if you were fired, it's a stupid reason to fire you and you should get a lawyer or someone to help you sue the guy for wrongful termination or something else.

Patrick Bateman

yes you were. either get an attorney, not worth it for a job at subway or call Subway corporate human resources and tell them your story. He needs a real reason to fire you

Reaper King

you most likely were but, seriously, it's SUBWAY. you can get a much better job than that anytime. just chalk this one up to expereince and look for something better than this. seriously

GoneByDawn

You did not say what state you live in. Some states are called "at will states" this means that you can be canned for any reason at anytime for no reason at all.

If you live in one of these states you are screwed, the best you can do is go find another job and don't use them as a reference so they will not have the chance to trash you on the phone to keep you from getting another job.

snvffy

Judging by your attitude and language, I guess there were other issues.

sumrtanman

Go to the labor board. They love stuff like this.

Â½Â«gumwrapper

I sense that you are very childish. Your boss probably did also.

Wrongful termination. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
What the hell can you do about it, but pout like a toddler? NOTHING!

jojo

i think an employer can fire you for almost any reason they want, but if u were a good worker then id make a complaint with the labor board, and try to get your job back.

Darth Vader

Ask for the reason for termination in writing. Decide from that what to do. But just don't let it bug you.

Muggle Jerry

At two weeks, you might not have much recourse... they may claim "probationary period" or some such, and under such conditions termination can be without cause.

However, if you can find witnesses to the fact that you were told "Oh, you should never have told us that", then you should be able to file for unemployment, depending upon your state. The two week thing may make the amount paltry (and in some states, may result in a big "nothing"), but if nothing else, the fact that you attempted to file will go on record and will help establish a patern that may help others in the future deal with abusive employment practices like this.

Best bet is to talk with a lawyer and see what can be done. Many Universities have a "Students Legal Department" or something similar which you can consult for free as a student and they should know what your options are... while I wouldn't hold my breath for re-employment at Subway (2 weeks is a short period), you should at least see if you can file something to cause them grief and perhaps help a future student in a similar position by establishing a precedent.

Hope you find better employment with someone that can value what you have to offer.
