My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Nevada
a month ago i was fired from my sales position of six years due to 'unsatisfactory job performance' (failure to meet sales goals).
job performance had never been an issue, though only during the course of 2008 that there was a combination of a decline in sales, selling hours, product quality, customer count, unfair scheduling and unrealistic sales goals. this lead to timed job probation via written counseling forms for unsatisfactory sales numbers (in which i had responded to management with said reasons).
right before the busy holiday season started, the store manager fired me citing 'my poor sales numbers' as the reason. even though i was told for months (by my direct department manager) that at worst i could be demoted or transfered to a non-sales position to avoid termination. though it did seem slightly wrongful, i didnt think much of it.
that is, until a few days ago when a huge news story came out regarding an executive VP of my former employer in charge of purchasing for the company. he was fired and now is charged with fraud/embezzling millions of dollars from the company in illegal kickback schemes over the course of the past 3 years.
my former employers loss of millions of company dollars could very well had directly affected individual sales goals and in turn my performance at the sales person level leading to my termination, which i am considering as wrongful termination.
the fraud case is set to go to trial soon and looks like he will be found guilty. if he is, should i then take action against my former employer for wrongful termination?
