What should my friend do?

Question

My friend walked out on her job after a huge argument with her boss.He told her that he can do without her and that she must f@#% off and so she walked out but she needs her job as she is a single mother.Should she take legal action and what are tha chances that she will win.Or is it just a waste of time.Please help me as she is depending on me to give her good advice.

Answer 1

Have her call a lawyer and ask them about the legalities of suing a company. Usually they will answer those kinds of questions for free.
Otherwise, she should start putting in her application other places.
If I were her, I wouldn't go back.
Does she have family that can help her out monitarily until she finds something else?
She could also talk to the unemployment office about the situation and ask them for advice.

Answer 2

She quit. Plain and simple. But, if she could prove, and I mean honestly prove, that she was in a "hostile work environment" and that her getting canned was due to an ongoing personal problem with her boss and can be backed up by someone in the office, then she might have a case. But, like someone else wrote, she has to remember that her boss is the boss for a reason. Personal conflicts in a employee-employer relationship is taboo. To be a boss, you can't really have friends that you work with. Yea, I know, "sure you can" is what your thinking, but not really. When it comes down to someone getting their @$$ reprimanded, I believe the boss is going to have the upper hand. Insubordination is a very real and frustrating problem today in the workforce and frivolous lawsuits are rampant. If she talks to a lawyer, which most give the first consultation for free, make sure she has every kind of documentation and any witnesses that can collaborate her story. Otherwise, she messed up by walking out. In most states, if you don't stay and go one step above her immediate boss, then that is considered "walking out on the job" which is considered a perfect opportunity for Donald Trump to use the catch phrase" Your Fired".

Answer 3

Your friend should remember that her boss is her BOSS and she should learn to control her temper. If she does go to law she will have to prove that her sacking was unreasonable and as I do not know the reasons for the argument or her anything of her past behavior I can make no comment on that. She will do well to remember that IF she did get her job back through legal action the working atmosphere will be terrible and I doubt if she would be able to put up with it for long any way. Perhaps it would be better for to swallow her pride and try apologizing to her boss and asking if she could have another chance.

Answer 4

I would try to sue, he must present her with a valid reason for her being fired. Also I would tell her to get anyone who might have heard the conflict and write a letter saying what they saw, make sure they get it notirized. This will be good evidence on her side. Good luck.

Answer 5

It depends if she lives in a right to work state. If not, she can be fired for any reason, or no reason at all. If an employee walks out on me, he/she quit.

Answer 6
