I work for a car dealership in Washington State. I started working for them on March 12th, 2019 and was terminated yesterday May 31st, 2019.
I had a sales manager ask an employee of mine who is of Jewish belief, if he goes home to a "Harem." He repeatedly asking him the question because he was not responding to his question. My wife is also a follower of the Jewish religion and I understand their faith and beliefs. I felt very uncomfortable in the situation and stayed silent.
Later in the day an Asian couple walks into my store and the same sales manager greets them. He talks very slowly and with very big hand gestures to insinuate they are not of English speaking. They actually spoke English very fluently and clearly. He then started to mock them in the sales office and make fun of they way they spoke out loud. At that time I was not comfortable with the way he was acting with these customers, I decided to walk out of the office.
Two days later I decided to notify my General Manager about the issue of the racial comments the sales manager was making. He said he would talk to him and discuss how that was not appropriate.
I was later terminated two days after that for a reason that was not disclosed.
Was I wrongfully terminated? Do I have a legal case I can pursue?
