Reply With QuoteDoes she have a contract? I might contact the labor board, Sounds like a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Seems if the file should have been tossed and it is now causing problems for the company they did somthing underhanded.
So she comes in from lunch and gets called in and told she no longer works there. Never been written up, was recruited from a competitor to come over there. The only one that knows commissions in the whole place. Just get out. So it seems she was told to throw away some loan docs about three years ago and didn't. These people are suing the company and it appears the docs showed up. The lawyers said fire her. Seems she could be a witness or something. Great. No insurance with a Diabetic son. I'm so fricken pissed i could ****. I gotta figure out who the plantiff is and call them as a witness for the plantiff.

Ya major underhanded. You can't just throw away loan documents and say it never happened and not pay out the commission. I'm gonna fix this guy. Not sure how yet. :crossx:
Man............I am so sorry to hear that!!!!!Im sure that there is something better for her!
There's laws against firing "whistleblowers" ya know. wink wink :idea:
CA is an "At will employment state" meaning that the employer does not need any excuse legally to fire you.

Oh yeah, she would make a fine Plaintiff's witness. Sooner or later the plaintiff will find her. Remember though, it can be pretty inconvenient to be involved. Interviews, depositions, all for no money/compensation.
What county? LA/Riverside/San Bernardino/SD, Ventura counties are all online, you can search civil filings by her employers name. the only county which blows is OC - need to go to the courthouse.
So sorry to hear about this. She obviously doesn't need that company, sounds like she could easily move to place that would appreciate her for her work & not threaten to sue her or her coworkers! Good luck to you both!!
That sucks for you guys.
She was insubordinate not throwing those docs away as instructed. As wrong as that sounds. If illegal to do so she should have taken the docs to her boss for him/her to throw away. That way she would still have done what she was told to do and not actually have done it.
But I'm sure the lawyer recommended firing her so it would appear as a disgruntled employee if she does end up testifying. If she goes on the stand and they ask her if she is upset about being fired. She should answer no it was the best thing that ever happened to her.
