Employment Law Information

Question:
I have worked for a company for 2 months, doing Aerospace Design Engineering. I received only positive feedback for my performance, and achieved all set goals.

I was served, at my office, with a frivolous TPO (temporary protective order) from an acquaintance who simply filed it as a bother. They don’t even intend to follow through, as there was no actual cause.

(For those of you uneducated man-haters who will inevitably reply “u desrve it dnt beat ur woman we can carry a child! *froth*,” No: it’s nothing like that. A Litigious male friend was just trying to be a pain in the posterior. You don’t need any proof, or even a legitimate stimulus to file a TPO.)

Now, not 5 minutes after I received my paperwork, I was fired for “poor performance and attendance” despite my documented 40 hour workweeks as per my employment agreement, and beating every deadline. When I put him on the spot with “Are you firing me because of this?” and brandished my paperwork, he replied “Not JUST that.” and, upon hearing his own admittance, backpedaled so fast, I expected to hear that “beeep beeep” of a truck backing up.

I am not familiar with Georgia’s employment laws. “Right to Work” “At-Will Employment” etc.

Anything I can do here, or should I just forget it and move on? Thanks. Cheers.

Answer:

Only a qualified employment law attorney can answer that question.  Do you have any type of paper trail like printed emails straight up saying that you did a good job?  The written word is pure gold in backing up your side of the story.  Paycheck stubs can show proof that you didn’t miss work.
