soo... what can someone do when they're unreasonably fired?

Posted by colin (aka colinski) Nov 3 '08, 11:12

a guy i know in NYC was let go from his job just because one of the higher ups was having a bad day. she thought he hadn't done something for him, but he had and has witnesses that helped him test.

can he sue for unemployment? is there anything he can do?

Responses:

if it was an At-will employment situation, the only thing he can do is apply for unemployment - decline Nov 3, 11:14 6
- as opposed to what? being a slave? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:14 5
  - as opposed to a contracted or unionized situation -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:15 3
    - he was not contract or union -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:19 2
      - not much he can do. Apply for unemployment and start looking for a new job -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:20

      - happens to all of us. OK, probably not. Many of us. Happened to me, and I lived. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 11:24
