‘You don’t have a case ‘
Hello, trusted contributors-
As I’m sure you’re aware, the recurring theme in this sub is ‘you don’t have a case’. I get it. Nearly all states are at will. Not in a protected class. They can fire you for being cross-eyed, too good at your job, or for skipping optional team trivia night at the local bar.
But please explain how an employer can use an objective, verifiable lie as a reason for termination. Example: Ann was late three times: 6/1, 6/2 and 6/3. But, Ann has three witnesses who verify her on time arrival. Ann logged into her desktop computer prior to the claimed late arrivals.
Is the answer still ‘You don’t have a case?’
If yes, do alternative means to litigate the situation exist? Slander, libel, something else?
