<prompt> Human: I have been a COO for an engineeringequipment company for about 2 years. I was fired Nov. 23rd for reasons unclear. One of the owners of the company had sat me down with his wife to conduct a termination meeting. His reasons were unclear, any questioning as to why was stopped with, Its not up for discussion. They had no documentation to me ever being written up. A week prior to my termination meeting on Nov. 14th this same owner had given me a 1 hr lecture about how well i was doing in the company and that everything had been going good. Saying to keep up the good work. In the termination meeting, he had no reasons. His wife, had eventually interjected into the conversation, saying You stole from the company in regards to time. Under my employment agreement I had been permitted to work mobile. His wife who was declaring herself as the HR director which the CEO had no approved, nor wants to happen said that I stole from the company because I was not in the office on the past week Friday and then Monday week of thanksgiving. In doing so, she had made a decision to deduct my paycheck of over 600 dollars for the two days i was in the office. They had never given even a consideration to the terms of my employment. Instead everything was based on an policies which they were creating as they went. Once telling them that their decision to withdraw my pay as they did was illegal, they eventually had restored my pay to its normal amount. They took over 1.5 hrs to cash me out, and in the process they had completely cashed me out wrong the first time. They forgot to cash out my sick time, my vacation time was calculated wrong, totaling only 130 dollars. The entire experience was unfounded and everyone in the company was totally confused. Once talking to the CEO Owner who was on vacation in the afternoon. He had no idea that Joe had fired me and he was entirely upset with the situation. Do i have a case for Wrongful termination? Other notes about the owner that fired me is that the CEO, and other managers in the company believe that this second owner is intimidated by me and is having trust issues with everyone in the company. In the past this owner has harrassed me and taken aggressive language to insult my intelligence and belittle my value because of my age.  <response>: Absent a contract that says otherwise unlikely, no. You may have a good case for unemployment though, and you should file ASAPe: Missed the remark about your age. If youre over 40 and there are 20 employees, then maybe but youll want advice from an employment lawyer. You can probably get a free consultation with one. I wouldnt get my hopes up if you have nothing but the stray remarks backing your claim
