As the title says I am seeking to retain legal counsel for a possible wrongful termination suit against my employer. I am being maliciously slandered at work and unfortunately the chief of staff is buying it.
Wow thought I was the only one. Was released to return to work after an injury I received the 1st of February .Return date on 26 th of August . Went in and told no work. After that week called shop and was still told no work. Wednesday the 4 th I show up to see what's going on and the shop is running with a new employee on my bench. WTF.

Remember MD is at will state, you can be let go at any time for no reason, happened to me, had 19 years, new manager he was a a**hat, but upper management thought he was hot s**t, I lost
Great story! This made my day!Similar thing happened to me many years ago.
When I was released to go back to work, they put me behind a desk doing clerical work because it was "slow". Meanwhile, the TWO guys they hired to replace me while I was out stayed on the road - one working out of my old truck with some of MY personal tools! (Many of which "grew feet" while I was out, and I only got a few back - when I caught other techs using them!)
In the mean time, the secretary was having an affair with the branch manager's nephew, and her husband found out and her life became a perpetual train wreck. Her work started slipping, so they kept piling more and more of it on me, to try to get me to quit.
I finally just told the branch manager, "Look you don't want me here, and I don't want to be here *doing this* (pushing a pencil and answering phones). So why don't you just lay me off?"
They did!
After collecting unemployment for a while, Mrs. Safetech and I started our own business - on a shoestring. That was 25 years ago.
Never looked back!
It was one of the best things to even happen to me.
One man's "wrongful termination" is another man's "opportunity"!
Reading through these stories it sounds like it's all what you make of it. Fighting is an option although even with a win it will take time, $$--there's always a price to pay. Those that chose to make lemonade from their lemons were happy as well.
If it was a work related injury, I don't think they can do that but as always IANAL. I would at least ask one though. Something sounds fishy.
