Was I wrongfully terminated if I did great work?
I believe my manager terminated me two hours before the implementation meeting to steal the credit and then received two promotions—from Manager to Director.

I'm so sorry. Sadly, stabbing you in the back is legal unless it violated some contractual agreement. Is there anything else I can assist with?

I was terminated after advocating for a product that would enhance compliance in the organization. Is this a protected activity?

I'm sorry to hear about your termination; that must be a difficult situation. Can you tell me if you were formally employed by the organization when you advocated for the JD Expert product?
Yes
Were there any specific company policies or procedures you followed while advocating for this product?
No, I just tried to go above and beyond for my employer.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the employment lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your wrongful termination.
So I don’t really understand how this isn’t a strong case.

Hi there! My name is Liz, and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade. I’m here to assist with your legal concerns. So I can best help, were you given a reason for the termination?
Hello Liz. I was terminated after I advocated for an AI tool that enhanced compliance relating to ADA, FLSA, and OSHA. But I was terminated two weeks after the VP approved it. Is this a protected activity?
Liz
Advocating for a product isn’t inherently protected, but did they say what about your advocacy caused you to be terminated?
They lied and said it was because I didn’t have global mobility experience. In truth, they terminated me two weeks after the VP approved the product and two hours before the implementation meeting.
Liz
Was there something specific about your advocacy that you think triggered it?
My manager loved the product initially but then turned on it after ten months.
Liz
Did you have any contract or union? With advocating for the product, if it's for personal reasons, it’s sadly not a protected activity.
No union or contract. The company had a segment of employees that were in a union, but I wasn’t one of them.
Darn! I believe my manager terminated me two hours before the implementation meeting to steal the credit and then received two promotions—from Manager to Director. Okay, thanks.
