workplace dispute
I have been suspended for 3 days
until my boss gets back from
vacation. I have been waiting in
agony until my meeting at 2:30pm
today to decide my fate. I work in a
restaurant and I got into a dispute
with another employee, she started
it, and it is claimed that I cursed her
and a guest heard it, which is
completely false. They have already
taken me off the schedule and
haven't even heard my side of the
story. She hasn't been punished at
all... I am facing demotion or
termination... and I have been off of
work all weekend. Nothing has
happened to her. Is this
discrimination?
Re: workplace dispute
No. Nothing that you state leads me to believe there is any type of discimination that can be the subject of a claim. Unless you have an employment contract that gives you certain rights or provides a process for termination, in Florida, an employee is "at will". That means they can fire you for any reason except for one specifically prohibited by federal law (race, religion, age, etcetera).
