Next time this happens to you, write down minutes of the meeting and send the doc to the guy asking to confirm that this is what they ask. When they fire you on Monday, sue.
- bot1 7y agoIs this actually possible?
- megablast 7y agoYes, sending an email is very easy these days.

- bot1 7y agoThanks for enlightening me on the technologies of the 21st century. Maybe I meant if it‘s actually possible/makes sense to sue him because of an impossible deadline? Who knows
- methehack 7y agoTo answer your question (sort of): in my state it is not possible. It is state by state; my state is "at will" employment. This means, in my state, you can be fired just because. Employers in my state can't violate federal law of course -- they can't discriminate etc -- but they can fire you because "you're just not good enough" with no details or documentation. That said, it is likely CA has it's own set of protections that make it harder to do. Usually, it's the company's internal policies that require a PIP and all the documentation even in an "at will" state. This is to maintain the appearance of fairness and to avoid the possibility of employment litigation (companies of course often operate in many states and federal law is always a concern). If you document, you avoid all this. The firing though is usually a _fait accompli_; the PIP is CYA.
- sfkdjf9j3j 7y agoEvery state is "at-will" except for Montana, which has some additional protections. There's no winnable lawsuit here unless you have a contract that's being breached.

- rolltiide 7y agosucks you can't take the severance though. its usually a don't sue us card
- Xelbair 7y agoThis is actually a great advice. I would also add that if it is legal for you to do so - send a BCC to your personal email just in case, or keep offline copy of correspondence.
