My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Texas.
Company : Software.
Role/designation : Managerial/executive
1) I am a permanent resident of US. Was on short term disability leave (STD) that ended on end of Feb. It was not FMLA, as I was not eligible. The 60 days Leave was approved by the company & paid in full by insurance with multiple doctor notes.
2) Job responsibilities upon return to work were substantially changed : No work or work structured to be a failure.
3) Responsibilities transitioned to another employee of the company in India who is planned to be bought to USA on L1 visa. I trained this employee.
4) After 90 days suddenly fired on pretext of "performance" while performance review feedback document has excellent comments & no performance improvement plan was offered. It was cited that relative performance was at the bottom of the ladder although as per the employee handbook the relative performance measurement is scheduled to happen in July and not yet happened!
5)Acute Shoulder pain due to the side effects of disability still persists, but have taken no leaves for it. Just managed by physical therapy.
Is there any case of discrimination/wrongful termination. Why or Why not? Employment attorneys say that there might be a case but I am skeptical because there motive might be fees
