Title: Wrongful employee termination question
Post by: Wolfala on August 03, 2007, 01:02:59 AM

This is a question for lawyers who deal with wrongful termination. The background is this - the place I worked at is an LLC with a group of managing partners. Last year one of the partners tried to have me fired by fabricating an email - got caught red handed and nothing happened to him.

With California being solely "At will" employment, is there a case for wrongful termination if I can prove that my stay after that point basically hosed my career at that company?

Is fabricating an e-mail fraud?  should be...

If someone does you harm thru fraud, I would think there is a civil case at least.

However this thought comes from an engineer, someone who sees things in a more black and white way than does a lawyer.

OK so you have to prove that you were harmed in some way - easy enough.

Do they have slander laws in California?
