Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey
Wrongful termination. Possible racial discrimination. I was told it was due to my lack of experience but was hired by CEO and CFO for my experience and background. My manager never gave me any expectations nor goals and no notices for areas of improvment. Manager treated me very differently vs. coworker white male. Once while in her office, I saw her looking at nude pictures of coworker on her cell phone and her behavior towards me was rude and bias. I have several examples from HUGE mistakes other employees made but were not fired vs my termination. Also, i have documented proof from CFO that I would receive a bonus which is now being denied. I also contacted HR regarding my W2 and insurance benefits but they have ignored my emails. I want to sue for lost wages and damage to my career. I have several examples of her behavior towrds me vs white coworker and want to know if I have a case. Please advise. Thank you!

You may or may not have a case; however, I would suggest that you meet with an attorney for a face-to-face consultation. There are many employment law (including my office) that provide no cost evaluations.
Based on the facts you have presented, you may have sufficient grounds for a suit under state and federal law. You should meet with an attorney experienced in employment law to review your allegations and the relevant law. However, it is probably in your best interests to first file a complaint with the EEOC as you are required to exhaust administrative remedies prior to instituting a suit under the federal civil rights statutes. Feel free to call my office if you would like to discuss this further.
