AITA for thinking they screwed me over?

brain’s a mess, lost income, think I got a case
pls help anon, im stressed, anxious, and quite frankly feel defeated with little or no hope that this will work out for me
situations like this make my condition worse

>think i got a case
lol no you don't I'm terminal, have 6 years of medical malpractice provable and documented, can't even get a lawyer to take it since they can't get 200m out of me because the states law is capped, as this is what they wanted to go for.
a lawyer won't even call you back for a weeks pay lol fuck sake moron just go get another job and l2 do taxes

>>23444120 (OP)
No case. They can just shred your documents and move on then it's their word vs yours. Sorry

relevant info, i do live in an at will state

>>23444121
this appears to be a discrimination and ada case not a personal injury. at least in my state if i sue them they can't get rid of the record, so that makes settlement more likely

>>23444122
i have audio recordings from the termination meeting where they said i was a good salesmen but then said i had personality conflicts which are directly contrary

>>23444120 (OP)
Get fucked stoner. Nobody wants to hear your sob story about how psycho you are. Maybe lay off the pot.

>>23444123
Discrimination?
What the fuck you're just some nigger faggot lawyer chaser, also a namefaggot, also you were there for a week good luck proving "discrimination"
Jobs can and will enforce at will, which means they can fire you at will as well.
Unless you're a woman you're not getting discrimination, I know niggers who try this constantly with jobs and never works unless they get injured, or are a WOMAN
Are you a man?
Namefaggot

Sounds gay. Get a real job.

>>23444127
white cisgendered male, reigstered republican and christian

these complaints came out of nowhere and were not addressed directly to me and i never had a chance for corrective process as required by the ada as soon as I notified them of my disability

>>23444128
homie i worked nonstop while i was in there unlike most people who work in this industry and just sit around talking all day

>>23444120 (OP)
5 days cunt they don't owe you a career
It was a trial run for a week and they didn't like you

pretty sure they don't even need a reason to dismiss someone in first 3 months.

>>23444120 (OP)
You'll have to go back and punch that manager in the face if you want any satisfaction.

Poop through their letterboxes.

>>23444123
At all is to protect employees, I got fired from being an amazon delivery driver because they were putting me in vehicles that haven't been serviced, when I called them out on this they reduced my hours from 45 to 1 a week 1 hour a week.

They also hired me as disabled, and lied to the unemployment board, who do you think won this?
Actual case of discrimination and lying to courts.

>>23444120 (OP)
what kind of clueless narcissistic faggot would come here on this board and make this post? kill yourself you gay retard. /pol/ is not your friend. /pol/ is not your blog. /pol/ is not an advice board

>>23444130
firing has to be lawful, and it appears as if they fired me for my disability which makes a public policy exception

>>23444131
not happening

>>23444132
im actively sending notices and filing through appropriate channels

>>23444129
You're reaching big time.
Again I can't even get lawyers to take my case where a doctor diagnosed my failing kidneys are untreated bipolar because he just thought I was whining.

You don't have any case, just a case to waste our time and brainpower.

>assistant manager goes nuts, situation pops off

you have omitted details and your tale is invalid as a result. testimony requires the whole truth.

Then drop it now and move on.

>>23444136
What disability did you get hired as disabled?
Did you have your doctor inform them of your disability and accommodations?
You know fuck all about jobs, lawyers, health or life bucko.

>>send certified letter demanding records, no reply yet

You're too stupid to understand the words you're using. Please hire a professional. Or just drop it.

No, you didn't file a "W-2." The W-2 is the year end tax form an employer issues to employees by January 31st. I believe you meant to say that you completed a "W-4" when you started, which is the employee withholding allowance certificate you complete to declare your marital status and other items for federal income tax withholding purposes.

You're too stupid to even understand the difference so I'm not going to waste my breath telling you how to report them. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL.

>>23444136
ending a probationary period early with "sorry, we don't want you" isn't "firing"

>YOU HAVE TO PROVE DAMAGES
DAMAGES
DAMAGE TO YOUR SELF.
DAMAGE TO OTHERS IN YOUR LIFE.
DAMAGE TO YOUR HEALTH
DAMAGE TO YOUR FUTURE

You can't even prove to use you worked more than half a lazy nigger would.
The fact you claim you're disabled yet won't say what it is is enough to tell me your disability is something you made up and haven't had any medical proof of.

>>23444138
>>decide to mention I got a personality disorder, try to address it
did you document this, do you have any evidence that you did, or said this, that they heard you and acknowledged it, or is it your word vesus theirs

lol the answers no, isnt it, or you wouldnt be asking. youve got literally nothing, and only mentioned it AFTER the incident. good luck at your next job

>>23444143
W-4s no longer exist why OP is fucking retarded Biden changed that shit.
Withholdings are no longer the way they used to be, and default to automatic that's how I know OP's a lying retard.

>>23444141
doesnt matter if I do that, as soon as i notify them i have a disability certain protections are enacted and they never engaged in productive conversation regarding my disability

>>23444140
theres also cctv of the incident

>>23444143
OK, so I filed a W4. Clerical error.

>>23444145
The videos will more than prove that I never stopped moving and working while I was there while everyone else was too busy sitting on couches.

>>23444142
okay now usually i'd find the part in the court record that says the music was broken that night, or something...

>>23444120 (OP)
All of this shit is your retarded fault for doing verbal agreements and working under the table. That handbook with the written notice process probably also mentions that you were in a probationary period but none of it is going to carry any legal force if you were working for cash. You're wasting time you could be using to deliver pizzas or something thinking you're going to get back at somebody over pocket change.

>>23444146
bruce pls

>>23444148
>doesnt matter if I do that, as soon as i notify them i have a disability certain protections are enacted and they never engaged in productive conversation regarding my disability
lol

>>23444120 (OP)
I have Bipolar Disorder. If I had a job I would absolutely never tell anyone at work about it. When it comes to stuff like personality disorders, Bipolar, Schizophrenia etc. there is a huge stigma. It's pretty much the worst tier of mental illness.

>>23444150
He's an attention whore just ignore him he would post on /biz/ now too I remember daily, his mass replying gives it away, nobody does that shit here but him.
Everyone laugh at the spamming retarded faggot who brings the value of this place down getting fired from a weed store lol
absolute nigger tier OP is.

>>23444146
yes i did, and i have ample evidence in texts between myself and the store manager and they did acknowledge it without ever making agreements or entering into productive conversation

>>23444149
it wasnt lmao

>>23444150
again i have receipts and no the handbook does not mention a probationary period at all. I was not working for cash, and had filled out direct deposit information including tax filings.

>>23444153
mine is not either of those and most people typically don't even believe I have a disability

>>23444154
I have never been on biz? When multiple people are replying its smart to do it all at once?

>>23444152
>"notify of us of what? he was babbling and incoherent. now hes telling us NOW hes got mental problems? gosh no wonder we couldnt understand him"

again do you have any proof you notified them of your disability. not even proof you notified them. can you prove to anyone you did. at all.

>>23444152
Yeah this niggers retarded, I'm actually disabled and was hired in as disabled, their HR shredded all documents of it and lied to judges in court and won, and the owner used his wife to testify to the judge when she was in Hawaii on a beach when I got fucked over during the middle of a snowstorm delivering because I complained one of their vans had no brakes and was going to the floor.

>>23444129
>duuuude I had to like bring customers their weed and liiiiike weighed it and had to learn how to put allllllll that info into a computer I worked soooooo hard

>>23444120 (OP)
Just let it go, anon. It's not worth it to try to get "revenge" or "justified compensation". It happens, right or wrong. Just focus on getting another job and try to work on controlling yourself.

>>23444156
>When multiple people are replying its smart to do it all at once

>>23444157
yes text messages between me and the store manager. i was noted as being a "good salesmen" so clearly I was articulate and they were capable of understanding me. I disclosed the disability when it became relevant.

>>23444159
and vacuum floors, box product, put it on shelves, manage inventories, check IDs - theres a lot more than you think

>>23444161
oldfag here that's not yet used to the new bread limits

Yeah he's the same nigger 100% he also makes up larps to beg for money, what a shocker OP is a nigger!
Everyone laugh at the nigger.
Dance OP monkey boy.

>>23444158
my wife was fired for being pregnant at a time that didn't work for her employer. they shitcanned her with a "doesn't fit in to the culture" reasoning (my wife worked there for 4 years) and simply paid the exact amount of severance pay that made legal action not worth the effort. they threw a lump payment at the issue and it went away for them. my wife never went back to that career, they effectively inflicted a lifelong wound on her.

there's no justice. they put safety nets up and then push you into them

>>23444163
stop derailing my thread with your paranoid schizo bullshit slowmo

>>23444162
>I disclosed the disability when it became relevant.
the instant they informed you that you'd be handling customers?

>>23444164
that is unfortunate to hear

thankfully in my situation, personality or "culture" conflicts are not adequate reasons to terminate employment as upheld by the EEOC and ADA

>>23444120 (OP)
This is a slam dunk lawsuit. I just had a friend get fired for being asked to do payroll without being a manager and they were fired for it. They got a lawyer and got anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000 the same week they were fired.

You need to ask them to confirm why you are fired in writing and then take it to a lawyer. If your case is good they will do it pro-bono (free)

>>23444166
no the instant a situation that could involve my situation became apparent, such as someone claiming I did something in a way I did not mean or intend

I know you well.
Go pretend to be middle eastern and beg for shekels.
>>23444164
My issue is those faggots were gypsy amazon DSL niggers, literally all young niggers who didn't know how to operate their ass from their hand, I was nearly twice their age and a lot more competent, they just chose to lie through their teeth and risk major legal consequences if I had pushed forward, luckily for them my doctors were fucking retards as well and couldn't pinpoint my exact disease at the time, took another 3 years to get a correct diagnosis so it protected them enough because they shredded the evidence of my disability upon hiring.

Sadly I found my emails recently talking to the HR about my disability, but it's been three years likely the statute of limitations has been expended.

Everyone else who worked for them later said the same shit I did.

>>23444164
Yeah, at the same time, these management types usually turn out to be huge cunts. It takes a certain type of clown to want "management" or "HR" in the first place, either to power trip or feel important or both. Sometimes they want to cultivate a little cult that submits to Dear Leader, and anybody who doesn't fit the bill gets thrown out. I had a similar thing happen when I worked retail.

At the end of the day, you can't let these types dictate who you are as a person or your worth. It's best to move on.

>>23444168
I hope so anon. I don't need their reason in writing, I have it verbally recorded but having it in writing would be very nice. How would you recommend I do this? I have already contacted 3 BAR referral attorneys and one extremely notable one in my area (has a long record of case history in circuit and district in multiple states).

Been this way the last 5 or so years.

>>23444121
Why are mutts so physically/mentally ill?

>>23444177
No, and even if I was it's perfectly acceptable and allowable per the employee handbook. I sampled products 1-2 per day, not enough to get "high". We sold hemp products.

>>23444155
Bipolar and Schizophrenia are not personality disorders I was grouping them together by severity along with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is generally what people assume when you say personality disorder. Those are three of the most stigmatized mental illnesses out there.
And the fact that you felt it appropriate to bring it up on your third day is a pretty big red flag in itself. Not saying it's right but people don't want to deal with it and there's a huge burden of proof on you if you want any recourse. People get fired for being in protected classes all the time the employer can just make up any bullshit reason for termination.

>>23444174
Just tell them you need the reason for unemployment to determine whether you're eligible or not. That may goad them into writing an insulting reason for your dismissal that a lawyer can use perfectly.

It's not a guarantee but it's worth a shot. Say you need a written and official piece of paper stating your reason for firing.

>>23444182
First good bit of advice I've been given. I've already sent certified mail requesting preservation of records and CCTV and will be sending a more formal one monday.

I've already filed inquiries with the appropriate agencies, including unemployment. Do you think that's still viable?

1. Proven Performance and Mischaracterization of “Personality Conflicts”:
Management explicitly stated, “You’re a great salesman,” during the termination meeting, acknowledging my competence in a role that depends on strong interpersonal skills. The suggestion that I was simultaneously terminated for “personality conflicts” contradicts that acknowledgment. In order to be an effective salesperson, one must know how to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues. Therefore, citing “personality issues” as a justification for termination is inconsistent with both my demonstrated performance and the employer’s own statements. This inconsistency suggests the stated reason may be a pretext for discrimination following my disability disclosure.
2. Vague Termination Reasoning:
The only justification given for termination was “personality conflicts.” When I informed management that any communication issues might relate to my diagnosed personality disorder, the decision had already been finalized. This refusal to discuss accommodations or engage in the interactive process violates ADA obligations.
3. Timely Disclosure:
I disclosed my condition immediately upon realizing its relevance, meeting my duty to inform the employer when accommodations could be necessary.
4. Attempted Engagement Ignored:
During the termination meeting, I made multiple good-faith attempts to discuss accommodation, remediation, or resolution, all of which were disregarded or interrupted by management.
5. Policy Violations and Pretext:
Although the company’s progressive policy formally addresses attendance, its existence establishes an expectation of due process. My termination without prior warning, write-up, or coaching deviated from that standard, undermining any claim of consistent enforcement.
6. Disability Disclosure Proof:
Text records confirm I notified management of my disability prior to termination, establishing the employer’s awareness of my protected status under the ADA.

7. Lack of Prior Complaints:
No coworker expressed dissatisfaction, concern, or complaint to me directly before termination. I maintained professional rapport and believed all interactions were positive.
8. Unequal Treatment:
Management indicated “personality conflict” was a common termination rationale. I believe nondisabled employees were treated more leniently under similar circumstances.
9. Absence of Coaching or Training:
I was not provided structured onboarding or coaching, despite being a new hire. The assistant manager’s later claim of a “coaching session” was a mischaracterization of facts.
10. Legal Implications:
These facts suggest my termination was not based on legitimate performance issues but on unaddressed manifestations of a known disability. The employer’s failure to:
Engage in the required ADA interactive process,


Apply its own progressive disciplinary procedure,


Provide specific or consistent reasoning, and


Offer an opportunity for remediation,

1. Unpaid Wages and Improper Payroll Practices
Payment in cash, without proper withholding or issuance of pay stubs, appears to violate ---. Failure to maintain and provide accurate payroll records, or to pay all earned wages upon termination, is a statutory violation.
2. Retaliation for Protected Disclosure
Termination following my good faith disclosure of a disability constitutes potential retaliation under the ADA and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The proximity between my disclosure (October 8) and termination (October 10) suggests direct causal linkage.
3. Failure to Withhold and Report Taxes
Payment of wages in cash without withholdings or proper documentation raises compliance issues under IRS Publication 15 (Circular E) and related --- rules. I request confirmation that appropriate tax forms (W-2 or I9, or others if applicable) were or will be filed for 2025.
4. Breach of Implied Employment Contract
The company’s written policies—especially the progressive discipline system—establish an implied contract of fair process. Termination without warning, documentation, or opportunity to respond constitutes breach of those implied terms under (state case law)
5. Emotional and Reputational Harm
The manner and timing of my termination, following disability disclosure and without opportunity for remediation, caused emotional distress and reputational damage. These harms were foreseeable and exacerbated by the employer’s failure to engage in a good-faith resolution process.
6. Hostile Work Environment
Assistant Managers exaggeration of events (e.g., October 8 incident) and disruption of my workflow systems created a hostile environment based on my disability.

>>23444136
The time and energy you’re wasting on this you could put it towards finding another job. But no, you’d rather obsess over your fee fees and getting back at them because you went out of your way and even used your fancy vacuum. Learn from this and don’t do any extra work unless you’re getting paid. Don’t think you’re doing a business any favors by going above and beyond. show up and do the bare minimum and maybe you won’t get so butt hurt next time you’re fired for being a basket case.

>>23444296
I have the previous 1099 opportunity available and ready to me. I plan on going back to that in the mean time. This is staging for the long-term battle up ahead.

I don't care about the money, it's more about the principle. I did a great job and should have been allowed to continue working, but instead got discriminated against because of my disability the employer was well aware of.

Businesses encourage people to go "Above and Beyond" to prove their worth to the company. By every measurable metric, I was what they consider a "Unicorn" employee. I have experience, knowledge, and demonstrable positive impact on sales during my time. I could do anything that any of those positions require, with minimal training and oversight. I was essentially "Plug & Play" until they found out I had a disability.

The lady who decided to fire me was constantly gloating about being a "paralegal" before. I really doubt she was any good at it, because this firing clearly demonstrates she has 0 clue what the hell she is doing.
