[NJ] [NJ] A company let me go after 2 months of employment because of poor work performance, but I think it was retaliatory. What can I do?

A company let me go after 2 months of employment because of poor work performance, which is not true. I called them out on the lack they had for years. I interviewed for a full-time employment yet they hired me as temp, forcing me to leave my previous employment. Now I’m jobless.

[WI] [WI] Can I sue former employer for breaching my confidentiality?

I was at a job a month ago and HR told the manager what we talked about and also told me what another employee said while he was in there. I left that job because I feared for my safety. If I can’t go to HR then where can I go? The manager was super inappropriate as well, calling people racial slurs. I want to know if I can sue that company for violating my confidentiality while talking to HR.

Is it legal for my manager to ask about my FMLA request?

My work manager is asking about my FMLA request, and I don’t think that’s legal — so I have not responded. However, now he is threatening to fire me for “no call, no show” if I do not follow up. I have already sent the FMLA forms to my doctor.

[FL] [FL] My employer is asking me for a statement after employees reported they felt unsafe during a personal phone call I was having. What should I do?

My question is — last week at work, I was having a personal phone conversation with a family member regarding a phone bill. While on the phone, I was speaking loudly and was clearly frustrated, but I never made any type of threat. Five employees wrote statements to HR saying they felt unsafe. They are now asking me for a statement in return. Since the event was not work-related, no other employees were involved, and while I may have been loud, the content was not threatening, I don’t know if I should write it.

[CA] [CA] Should I pursue workers’ comp and request a Qualified Medical Examiner?

I was out on short-term disability from 11/19/24 to 3/24/25. I returned to work and re-injured myself. I finally got disability approved yesterday but need advice on whether I should pursue workers’ comp, as I only have a week to request a Qualified Medical Examiner (QME).
