Employed for 2yrs 10 months. Never received any negative feedback from my employer. Never written up or spoken to for any reason except to praise my work. I received a glowing letter & a raise couple weeks ago. My boss/owner of the company is very unprofessional. He screams/swears constantly. This type of behaviour was never directed at me. I only witnessed this behaviour towards others, until this week. I received a phone call on Tues...it was my boss screaming and swearing at me. He was blaming me for something that was beyond my control. A meeting was called the following day to discuss the issue that prompted his outburst on the phone with me. In this meeting I was asked for my input. I said I have nothing to say..let me know how to move forward. Let me know what u want from me and I will do it but I do not have any suggestions to give you on this matter. The manager running this meeting detected coldness in my voice...asked if I had a problem...if I'm happy being there. I replied...everything was fine until yesterday. I then said...I don't appreciate being screamed at & being blamed for something that was not my doing. I said ...perhaps it's time I have a conversation with our boss, it won't be easy though since he doesn't let u say more than 4 words before being cutoff. Next day my employment was terminated due to insubordination. I have never been fired before. I do not want this on my record. It will provide difficulty when searching for future employment. I want to fight this. Infringement of my 1st amendment rights? I have concerns with mental distress...loss of reputation as well as economic losses.

It is very important that we speak so that I can find out more information and advise you accordingly. You have likely been wrongfully dismissed. Please give me a call at the number below.
