    Then you can take them to court for wrongful termination.

    I’ve never worked for a company where HR was anything but useless. When you get fired for shit like this (or in general) it’s usually someone in the management chain calling the shots.

      “I would like to file a wrongful termination suit”

      “We’ll need $50K for pre-trial, more if they won’t settle”

      “Oh shit I thought lawsuits were free???”

      “Common mistake, we get that all the time”

        I guess we just make shit up now? The NLRB doesn’t have fees for reporting violations, and Pro-Bono lawyers charge a percent of the settlement not "more if they won’t settle. "

        Yeah, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to go after for a minimum wage gig, but for a 150k career? Definitely. Don’t let “fear of HR” turn you into a door mat that tolerates a toxic work environment.
