Well if you work in an at will employment state, you're pretty much outta luck. They can fire you just because. Ohio is one.

Nice...what is that, a Barett?

Yeah, Kansas is like that, too. Well...I should say the company I worked for is like that. It's an at will employer. I did contact the company that handles all of our HR stuff and they're opening a case for an internal dispute resolution (fancy talk for "gimme my fucking job back"). So we'll see what happens there. I'm also in a unique position, being what some people would consider physically handicapped (but fuck those people) to have some serious discrimination beefs. And not just shit I made up...people at that company ignored some really simple requests I made and at one point insinuated I should could quite my job and find another (ok...I pissed off a superior, but it's still uncalled for).

Good luck. Hopefully it works out. Would you still be ok to go back even though they fired you? Seems like that would be awkward.

I'd just sue 'em discrimination and not worry about working.

I would...wouldn't be hard for me. I'm sure they'd put me on a different manager's team. Even if they don't, I'd do it out of spite. Just a great big "fuck you" to that bitch that fired me. At the very least I want all of the bullshit they put me through documented. Besides...I'm an expert in passive aggressiveness. I can be a total cock to someone all day long and still sound entirely professional. In fact, that's pretty much all working in a call center is.

I'm not really the type to sue unless something came up that was worth the time and money. I'm really hoping they just hear the word "discrimination" and re-hire me just to keep from getting sued. Honestly...that job was so easy. I answered calls and sent out spreadsheets of other employee's perfomance for any given day and they paid me over $30K/year. Not a shit ton of money, but for the work I was way overpaid and it kept me living comfortably (just ask my PS3, LCD TV, new computer, and new laptop).
