Resolved Question: Do I have a legit case to sue my former employer for wrongful termination?
11/03/10
This is a long story so please bare with me, I just want to put it all out there so my situation can be best answered.
I was a waitress at a franchise restaurant until this last Monday. I had 4 managers consisting of the GM and an assistant in which I got along very well with both, the other two assistants I got along with until their ego’s got into the way but even at that I tried to set my personal thoughts aside. It all began with this one manager in particular, we will call him Jon. A couple of weeks ago I was standing at the host stand minding my own business (really) when my manager finished his convo with the other employees around the corner 3 feet away. Jon then approaches me making foolish and unnecessary remarks about an issue not involving him and was resolved between the immediate parties. I explained to him that the situation was already taken care of and he had no need for concern. He then got very upset and demanded me to go outside with him for a private conversation. I refused to do so unless the other manager who was a female attended the conversation. Jon got irate and sent me home forcing me to transfer a nearly completed table and tip to another server. I did as I was told and when I came to work the following scheduled shift I considered it a thing of the past. Four days later the same manager began his same tricks and to be short sent me home for not presenting a survey to him after waiting 5 minutes for him and my table wondering where their check was (attached to the survey). Jon, once again, got irate, belittled me into a teary mess and sent me home again. My managers know I suffer from BiPolar d/o and know I take many things to heart and become emotional. Well, the line was crossed and I hit rock bottom with my depression and I attempted suicide when I left (dumb idea I know now). After being hospitalized for 3 days I was finally able to use the telephone to contact my employer. The GM was incredibly heartless and terminated me for not showing up to work the day before even though he knew I was being hospitalized. I was hospitalized for another 3 days and here I am without a job. Is what they did legal? And if not how can I make this situation right?
Sidenote: If a court case were to come about, I have a couple people in mind that were victims of sexual harassment from the GM to prove the creditability of this establishment.
