I was just "let go" from my current job because "I voiced my opinion on Facebook and I was offensive". Please note that these posts are on my private account; unless you are a friend you cannot see anything. These posts were about AMERICAN POLITICS, Obama and Islam. These were made personally on my own time, at home. Is this even possible???

While it is possible that your employment can be terminated for just cause based on opinions you express on your personal social media account, your employer will have to meet a very high burden to successfully convince a court of this. Therefore, it is likely that your employment was wrongfully terminated and you should receive termination pay. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you.
