I worked with a company for 4.5 years. I was having a business related conversation with the president. I was simply stating honest opinions regarding business matters and the president did not like that. It then escalated to an argument, where he eventually tried to bully me into resigning. He told me to hand in my resignation letter the next following business day. I told him that I had no intentions of resigning and that he would have to terminate me if he wanted me out of the company. He then verbally terminated me on the spot. I received termination pay in lieu of the 4 weeks notice that I'm entitled to, but their termination letter that I received along with my termination pay stated that I was terminated due to "significant and unacceptable insubordination". I have never had any previous record of misconduct or bad behavior at this employer or any other. The only thing I did wrong was raise my voice once. I felt as though I was being cornered. He was verbally abusing me and yelling at me while I sat there, not being able to get a word in edgewise. That is when I snapped at raised my voice. I had apologized for my delivery, but I told him I was entitled to my opinion. This is when he berated me and fired me. Is this reasonable cause to be terminated? I don't think the employer believed it was because why would they pay me my termination pay if it was my fault? They legally do not have to pay me the 4 weeks if it was my fault, correct? Another concern is that the president is slandering my name to old coworkers. He has told them lies about me, saying that I threw my computer (which never happened) and how he stated that I am "emotionally challenged" because of the one outburst of me raising my voice. Is there grounds here for a wrongful dismissal case?
