Employment Termination Legal Recourse Question?

Question

I was fired because another employee told my supervisor he “might have felt threatened” by things I said to him. Do I have any legal recourse?

Background: I had been on medication for depression for about the last six months of my position in a large company. A co-worker had been coming in to my general cubicle area and making disparaging sexual remarks. This led to emotional interference for my getting my job done due to mental anxiety.

I have an outburst within a couple of days at which point a co-worker says “Did you forget to take your medication today?”

I confront this co-worker asking him in general “what his problem was” I was extremely upset over this due to the fact that I was on medication and this in itself for extremely traumatic for me.

Someone who overheard must have reported this to my supervisor, who proceeded to question this employee. The co-worker was led by my supervisor to indicate that he felt somewhat threatened by my behavior. Shortly thereafter I was fired.

Answer 1

You may. It seems that you could say you were discriminated against. The comment, "Did you take your medication today" is rude and indeed discriminatory. The fact that you were fired as a result of behavior that was threatening (which is just BS) is an indicator your employer if anything is an unsympathic boob.

Read the link below and see if you believe you qualify. I think so.If nothing else for a Workers Unemployment claim and discrimination.

Answer 2

No everyone has the right to work in a safe interment and no one has the right to threaten someone at work it is the responsibility of the employer to keep the workplace safe If you can't control yourself then you should not be there, get help and maybe you will be able to hold a job some day.

Answer 3

Oh quit playing the victim.

Find a new job.
