Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas
wrongful termination
I was fired from my job for excessive
tardiness, although I've been arriving
at the same time for over a year. My
punctuality was never an issue, until
I wrote HR a letter stating I feel I am
being discriminated against, as I am
a female of Latin descent. I believe
my supervisor was upset because I
wanted to transfer to another
location and told HR that a former
employee and I were clocking each
other in/out, hiding late arrivals and
early departures. The allegations are
false, and HR never questioned,
Torey, who is a Black male. Torey
resigned on 7/1, HR said this matter
was brought to their attention on
6/17, I believe that if they really
suspected Torey and I were violating
company policy, it would have been
addressed to him as well, they had
time. Why only bring it to my
attention when I request to transfer?
On 8/11 every dept at corporate
were having pictures taken, after a
few shots with my dept, my
supervisor asked me to step aside,
clearly singling me out and
humiliating me. Again, I wrote HR I
was fired on 8/19, they offered me
severance pay for 3 months
