I think I was just vindictively fired. Is there any legal recourse?

"I am not a lawyer. I work for a company that has been sued many times, non of which had merit. After the first time we were sued (we let a gentleman go due to poor performance at the workplace, well documented I might add), it cost us $100,000.00 to be "right", so now when sues, we pay $10k to get off cheaper. People suck, employers and employees alike. Well, you could sue the company, which would result in you gaining about $5k and spending just about that in legal fees. However, your issue is with the manager, not the company itself. Do they have an HR department? If so, I would contact them and explain the situation. Don't mention legal action, no one responds well to threats. Also, you apparently know the owner, if HR is useless (usually is) then contact him and ask WTF. If all else fails, try to talk to coworkers for good references and move on. "

""When the lunch break arrived, I decided to stay in my office and work on the to-do list items - specifically the items which I had taken issue with previously. I informed my co-workers of this" Curious to hear the other side of the story. I can just imagine you: "Oh sorry guys I can't go to lunch I HAVE TO STAY TO DO THESE STUPID PROJECT". Something along those lines and complaining to other co-workers. "

I think you're SOL on this one .You did something that got the boss or his wife pissed, and it was all downhill from there. Your immediate manager probably was tasked with pulling the trigger, and actually knows the whole story.

Insubordination is all they need to fire you as far I know. Good luck with that one.

They tend to set up termination clauses so that the management is protected no matter why they fire people. That's what happened to me. Basically anybody could be fired with justification at any time.

By telling your co-workers what you were doing and why, you were technically being insubordinate, because of the argument that you had had with your manager. I don't agree with it and obviously you don't either but since you are in a right to work state- you're screwed.

You work at their pleasure, basically. At-will employees (most employees) can be fired for any reason or no reason (barring some specifically protected areas). You pissing off your boss is not protected. If you're really concerned, talk to a local employment law attorney. Most firms will give free consultations these days. not legal advice

Piss off the boss, get fired. That's how it works. It's a simple system and most people understand it. I don't mean to be a dick but why does everyone think they're going to get to sue their ex-employer when they get fired?

Nope. You're done. Best thing you can do is go back and and speak with the manager again. You guys kept it civil, so I'm sure you'll keep it civil this time. On a side note: If you could be dismissed this easily, you obviously weren't very important to this company and they considered you disposable. Do you really want to work for a company that thinks this way of you?

As long as you were an at-will employee, they can pretty much fire you for anything
