Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Wrongful Termination

I was put on a 30 day probationary period, a little over a month ago, my boss offered her assistance and a weekly meeting to achieve my goal of improvement. During the following 30 days she was very pleased with my progress. At the conclussion of my probationary period she stated that I was no longer on probation. About 3 weeks later I was terminated by my boss's superior. Reasons given - Not meeting expectations, and using up too much of my boss's time.

Do I have a good case of wrongful termination and discrimation here?

Re: Wrongful Termination

Probably not. They are under no obligation to keep you and they do not need a reason to fire you. however, you might want to consult with a local labor law attorney. some attorneys have successfully argued that taking someone off "probation" could be an implied promise to keep them employed assuming continued good conduct but it is a very hard case to win.
