Reply #70: What the hell? That is bullshit...

I'm a middle-aged woman who spent most of her life as a housewife and I guess maybe I'm just no good in the "real" world.

Bull. You just got finished telling us you were always on time, did good work, your performance reviews were positive, and you got regular raises. As a retail manager for many years, I would have KILLED for an assistant like you.

They booted you so they have something to point to when they get sued. "We took steps, see?" That's the only reason. Since it wasn't any sort of negligence on your part, my understanding of the law says you definitely have a good chance to win a wrongful termination suit. They have to have documentation that you were irresponsible before they can fire you. From what you said, they had no such documentation.

You should look into it.

Take care, sorry this happened to you,
