Hello all, I hope my note finds you doing well. I was let go from my job on Wednesday, 11/5/08. The man I worked for said he just did not feel our personalities clicked (i.e., I was not like his former assistant of 40 years, before he moved from Boston to work here in New York). This is a very petty, inane reason to let me go! The COO, the man who hired me to work there, said over and over that it had nothing to do with my performance, that my work was excellent and I would be difficult to replace.
Meanwhile, one of my co-workers there is a serious alcoholic who takes 2 hour lunches and comes back drunk, but I am the one being let go? This seems impossibly unfair, but I do not know if it is enough to pursue legally as a wrongful firing. Would you please advise? I look forward to your replies.
