Fired from job question?
|
I was just fired from my lawn care job today. I was overheard by my boss saying "I don't know if I did the entire lawn, who cares I won't be working here next year anyway" He says he can no longer trust me. I did do the entire lawn, I was just pissed about the recent pay adjustments that have been put into effect, I am making much less than I was last year. I asked him to go out to the property with me and see that I was not skipping anything, he said he was too busy. Is this right?!! I have been a dedicated employee there for 3 years now and he didn't even give me a warning or anything. Can I collect unemployment (Minnesota)? What should I do?

Mariam, its sounds like your the one who cannot "KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT!" I was joking around about not doing the entire lawn and he did not give me a chance to prove it. I was wondering about benefits until I could find another job. Thanks to the rest of you for your answers.

I know what you can do...LEARN TO KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT! And if you are going to talk crap...at least make sure you are not too loud..and that YOUR BOSS IS NOT AROUND! |

Well you can try to put in for unemployment however it does not mean you will receive it. Instead of living off tax payers money you should go out and look for another job. |

Yes he can legally fire you. Whether you can get unemployment will depend on the decision of the unemployment people, which will depend partially on what you, and your former employer, tell them - apply and see what they say. |

Not sure if you can collect UI because lawn care is a seasonal job. Maybe though!! |

The employer can generally fire you at any time, for any reason. It's unfortunate that you weren't given a chance to prove yourself, but it isn't illegal.
In terms of UI, each case is decided on its own merits. Go ahead and apply for it. Some small companies don't have the time or the know-how to dispute every claim. If they do dispute it, you will still have the right to file an appeal. Tell the truth on your application, that you believe you were terminated based on a remark your boss overhead that you didn't plan to be working there a year from now. It will be your word against his and often in those cases they find for the claimant.
Good luck. |
