Wrongful Termination Concerns Raised

Summary

In New York, employment is generally at-will, allowing termination for any non-illegal reason. If you suspect unfair or discriminatory firing, review company policies, consider potential discrimination or retaliation, and contact the New York Department of Labor. Document any evidence of favoritism or retaliation, and consider filing a complaint with the EEOC if discrimination is suspected. Consulting an employment lawyer can provide tailored advice.

It seems like a complicated situation, especially with potential retaliation involved. If you believe your termination was linked to your daughter's situation or any form of discrimination, you might consider the following steps:
- Document any evidence or details regarding the manager's favoritism and your daughter's situation.
- File a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if discrimination is suspected.
- Contact an employment lawyer for a more tailored approach.
