I was terminated and after a week the sister of the boss was hired. There was no warning or anything. ?

I did my job well with no complaints and was terminated. I had proof that I had done everything asked of me and my supervisor said its just not working out. Could I sue for wrong termination since they hired a family member a week later?

Could I sue for wrong termination since they hired a family member a week later?
NO

unless you have a contract that was breached or you were fired for retaliation, discrimination or taking part in a protected activity there is no "wrongful termination".


Judy
No, it might not be fair but it isn't illegal.

Most jobs are "at will" positions. In other words, either the employer or employee may terminate the relationship at any time for any reason. If you have an employment contract then it could make a difference depending on the wording or terms.

Anyone can sue anybody for anything. The question an attorney is going to ask is: do you have a case? On the surface, you do not.

If you are in the US, and are working in a work at will job (which most are), then you can be fired or leave for any reason, or no reason at all.
