Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I was just fired for cultural differences. What does that mean?

That is up to you to explain to me, I don't know the facts or attitudes of the person that said it.
In general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or terminated any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice. That is, UNLESS the conduct is based upon discrimination, harassment or retaliation as defined as actually �illegal� under the Civil Rights [age, race, sex, ethnic, religion, pregnancy, etc] statutes. IF you think you can show the termination was based upon such discrimination related to ethnic background, race, religion, etc ["culture"], then you have grounds for a lawsuit. Feel free to contact me to discuss you facts, evidence, witnesses, etc. I've been doing these cases for many years.
