Let go or forced out
Let go, and you think you know why
Sometimes the reason you were given isn't the real one: a schedule cut to nothing after you complained, a write-up that appeared the week you asked for leave, a resignation you never wanted.
Many jobs can end without a reason, but not for a reason the law forbids: speaking up about pay or safety, taking protected leave, complaining about harassment, or who you are. We look at the timeline, the paperwork and what changed.
Retaliation after a complaint
Firing after an injury or medical leave
Forced resignations
Pregnancy and family leave
Save what shows the timeline
Dates matter more than details. Keep copies somewhere your employer cannot reach.
Messages and emails
Especially anything about the reason, or sent right before the change.
Write-ups and reviews
Note when each one appeared compared with your complaint or request.
The dates you spoke up
To a supervisor, to HR, to an agency. Even a rough date helps.
Who saw it happen
Coworkers, drivers, anyone who can say what they saw.
Short answers
Was I fired illegally?
It depends on why. A job that can end without a reason still can't end for a forbidden one. Tell us what happened and what you were told.
Should I sign a resignation letter?
Not before you talk to someone. Signing can change your options, and you can ask for time to read it.
Can I collect unemployment while this goes on?
Unemployment benefits and a legal claim are separate. We can point you to the agency, and applying doesn't stop a claim.
Tell us the order things happened in.
A rough timeline is enough to begin. We'll fill in the rest together.
