Sorry sacks of monkey canned him today by phone on his last day of approved vacation. The VP of the company called and said the owner's Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_ of a wife said "it wasn't working out". Again, no do entation of any performance issues not being met since he's been back. But they gladly said unemployment would not be contested by them.

Told ya it was in the works. And it happens during vacation many times, makes it easier for them and it's the main reason why his vacation was approved.

Have him file for unemployment immediately, they may not contest, but tell him to go into it thinking that they will (Companies often lie). He has no write ups, no policy violation they told him about for his release, so make sure he mentions those things, that no steps were taken to let him go. And make sure he mentions they did not tell him he violated any policy when they termed him, only that it didn't work out, according to them.

Mention they claimed they will not contest your unemployment claim, that way if they do and it gets to an appeal, you get to ask them questions about it, as well as other details on the record (at least here in Texas it works that way), and you can put them on the spot and remind them they are under oath lol, They may still lie, but sometimes it scares them into screwing up in their statements during the appeal hearing.

If he wants to go to a wrongful termination lawyer for a suit, that's a different ballgame and possible.

But as far as unemployment, he has a great case, and must argue the entire time that he had no policy violations, they took no proper steps to terminate and no write-ups, and include information of any recent promotions and raises for anything positive that he received.

If he feels that there was a certain type of discrimination, he can file a complaint with the EEOC depending on what it is, including retaliation, make sure he has witnesses of any discriminatory statements said by his employers or very clear examples of discrimination under the EEOC laws.

But bottom line, Unemployment should be a win.

Yup, exactly.

This was why I had suggested earlier that he do ent everything and to contact those organizations to start a case.

Unemployment should be pretty automatic.

Man that sucks. How is he taking it? Hopefully it won't send him right back into treatment, but I suppose it wasn't a huge surprise. I guess it could've been worse---at least he got a Kindle before they -canned him!
