I've been working for a communication company for a year now. I'm supposed to work 8hrs a day. With the work load I have it takes from 15 to 20 hours to get it done. Everyone I work with tells me a do a heck of job, specially when handling so much with less resources; but upper management things I'm doing horribly they don’t even look at what I do. I admit I'm not perfect at what I do and I mess up time to time. However I can clearly prove I have been doing my job and they keep putting more and more too point I can't handle it. I know most would say just leave and find another job. I refuse to accept that, if they fire me I want compensation for the troubles they will cause me. Can I take them to court if I can prove I been doing my job and doing it correctly?

Absolutely. Just because employment is "at will" doesn't mean you don't have certain rights. Employers posture and make you feel like you don't have a leg to stand on, but believe me, when push comes to shove, it is highly likely you will get money out of them just to make you shut up.
If your legal rights have been violated you have the right to ask for compensation. If you get an attorney more often than not your employer will settle with you out of court for a sum close to what you were looking for, because they don't want to pay THEIR attorneys $400 an hour to go to court with you.

If they have an HR department worth its salt you won't have a leg to stand on. If you need help with your work I would recommend you talk to your immediate supervisor. If upper management is not happy with your work then your supervisor should be helping you through the problem spots. You can spend what little money you will have and try to sue, you will lose and you would be burning a badly needed bridge that may help you get your next job.

Unfortunately , giving an employeer way way more than he/she can handle is one of the techniques employers use to get rid of a person. There is no law against demanding bosses. At the present time there are quite a few states , where a boss can dismiss you at will, and you have no legal recourse whatsoever. No reason need be provided for your dismissal.

You were got here across responsible, or you doesn't were on probation and required to do community service. The paper change into no longer interior the incorrect. in case you don't love the appointed lawyer, you're truly loose to employ your man or woman. the answer that there is not any deferred adjudication in an man or woman courtroom is inaccurate. occurs each and every of the time.

That depends on what country you live in. In France, for example, you may have a case. In the US, in most states, generally speaking, an employer can fire you at any time for no reason. A company can also fire at any time for any reason, as long as it is not based on race, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, or age (sometimes).
The company cannot force you to work there and you cannot force them to employ you.

In a lot of states there is this "AT WILL" employment. What this means is your employer can fire your at any time and for any reason or no reason at all. I lived and worked in Colorada, an "at will state" and was told by an employer that they could fire me any time they wanted and for no reason. I also did my job. I would look for other employment. It's not worth the hassle to work there.

There's nothing you can do unless you have a contract (likely only an option in a union position). If not, you are considered an "at will" employee and can be fired if your boss doesn't like the way you part your hair. I wish I had better news.

Try getting another job in a different department with the same company. And in case you're new in the business world.....they're all the same rats.....
