    "Wrongful Termination" has a specific meaning.

    Which protected class do you believe is being discriminated against?
    Not too sure, Im curious to hear and gain a bit of insight. I don't feel there were any sort of discrimination acts committed. I believe the conditions and commitment which was presented and ultimately agreed upon, was not fulfilled. My conclusion is based off comparing this to a business agreement in which contracts are broken and clauses or penalties are applied as a result. Although, there is a document signed by both, I don't believe it to be able to stand on its own, yet I do believe it can prove an implied agreement if I'm not mistaken, can offer protection. I may be talking out of my league but I'd really appreciate any comments from the experts here and come away informed instead of not doing anything about it.

    A wrongful termination is when you're terminated solely because you're a member of a protected class such as race, sex, color, etc.

    Being fired for wrongdoing, lack of fulfillment of an order, someone not liking you, wearing blue socks and green eyeshadow are not wrongful terms.

    However now that we've cleared that up, please tell us more about this agreement you mention.

    Thank you for replying.

    My position within the company required to organize and implement a new structure to position itself as a year round supplier in the market. This was written along with conversations and messages implying the authority to revise and/or change procedures within their current structure deemed inefficient towards reaching this goal.

    The position and goals indicated on the document described my responsibilities which implies a long term commitment in order to begin phasing these strategic steps into place. Terms of salary, benefits, bonuses and vacation/personal time awarded were also laid out once negotiated by both of us.

    Drilling more into the politics, they repeated TNT authority specifically towards the performance evaluation of my direct report, which was essentially my boss. I was recruited by an officer of the company (not my boss) and my communication throughout my tenure was with him and an upper management leader. It was clear, which was evident with other employees that I came to know, my direct report was not performing as they would have liked. This increased the confidence and ability to observe and report what I was hired to do without the fear of stepping toes given my assignment from the top.

    Tension began right away with me second guessing current procedures and friction implementing new ones., which eventually led to my dismissal by my direct report. (Mind you, on record this person had no experience in the industry which is why I was brought in) No reason given other than his statement "I'm no longer seen in part of the company's future "

    I feel the objectives presented to me, described as responsibilities and duties for the position, are bound to a long term commitment by industry standards. The politics itself is a questionable fight in the eyes of the law, but I feel strongly that I was erred by my dismissal given this agreement

    Thank you for clarifying.

    While CA is very employee-friendly, I see no wrongdoing by the company. You didn't have a CBA (collective bargaining agreement), enforceable contract and you're not part of a union; this means that you can be fired for pretty much any reason (and for no reason at all).

    Sorry, but the best advice I can give you is to file for UI and keep looking for other employment.

    Have to agree with Doggie here (she learned from the best) that this is not a wrongful term as defined by law. Not even close, sorry.

    However, you are welcome to discuss your situation with a local attorney to determine if you actually do have an enforceable agreement under your state laws. I wouldn't count on it but it's your money to spend.
