[QUOTE=mr apple;35255546]Why don't you just get another job? You worked at a food store, if it were your career, then sure, fight for it. But it's just a job and you've got no money now.
Instead of fighting something that'll just keep you out of money with no locked outcome, just go look for another job.[/QUOTE]
Not easy to find a job, I applied to multiple places (Gamestop,A&P,Stop&Shop,Dunkin Donuts, Stew Lenoards, Whole Foods).
When it doubt, jump in front of a lawyers car. They can't defend their self in court.

Moneys getting tight. Barely eating family is bleh at supporting me (Reason i had a job). Already lost phone cause can't make payment this month and can't really afford to be driving around talking to lawyers even at all. Just going to salvage what i can for now and do school.[/QUOTE]
Why are you barely eating your family?

I think it's worth mentioning at this point that the word is "drawer"

So heres a small update, Calling lawyers mainly all of them are just personal injury or other shit that doesnt relate to employment issues. My ex-boss messaged me on steam showing me some cool airsoft guns up for sale atm from a few people acting [b]like nothing happened[/b]. I wanted to respond i can't afford shit now that you fired me but he was offline when i got back to my computer
You're friends with your (ex)boss on steam? So you like, play games and stuff together? That would be pretty awkward if you ask me.
I can imagine being the boss would be more fun though. "Damn it, Brandon! Make the cap or you're fired!"
Jokes aside, good luck with your legal battle. I'd say there's a good chance to win, given the circumstances. I wouldn't know though, I'm not a lawyer.
I didn't post any of the previous stuff to be funny or anything, judging by what I saw from the text messages cubeman had with his boss, it seems that they were at a level that racially charged comments could be thrown around.
Also, lawyers love that kind of shit, "Minority framed for X Y Z" it could be easier to get a lawyer to take it on pro bono basis on those terms.
Regardless, good luck with your case.
It's hard cause yes, If this was brought to court I would win espically if a jury was to decide the winner. The main problem is for how much? I remember talking about atleast staying for atleast 2 years but there was no contract or on paper saying I would stay for atleast two years.
Theres no legal prescendet as every case is different. For all we know the judge might just approve a couple of thousand and the lawyer only gets a certain percentage so they end up with a couple hundred bucks and a waste of time. Lawyers don't actually care about justice anymore. Just the money.
The lawyer that got super involved with me about this case didn't want to take it due to the fact they think there was no violation of law and that Whistleblowing didn't apply here, Other lawyers said otherwise but didn't take the case cause they weren't Employment lawyers or just didn't have the time or didn't want to do the "Ill take a percentage of winnings"

You should re-read the OP again.
So any updates?
It's been almost 2 months now, I'm relooking into legal actions and our biggest local news agency may get involved and do a story. I've aquired a new job and im pretty much settled with money -knocks on wood-. I'm now only attempting to put in the light that this store is horrible towards it's employees and what it does.
I'll be keeping you guys updated on what happens with the news agency and with another Lawyer I'm talking with.
Your contiuned support FP is what is making we contiune with this till the entire state or every shopper who goes there knows that this store treats employees like trash and will do shitty scandals like and work together to remove employees. I know it sounds annoying but helping the count on reddit and publicty on my youtube videos about this will spread and hopefully finally fall into the "right hands" where people may be able to help or get this story out fully. This is not about me getting money or suing them anymore as I've managed to get back on my feet without the assholes but just to show what this place really is.

You go girl!
News 12 called asked for more info on my story and it will be discussed if they can create a story without causing a huge issue legally on both sides.
All about the money man

well, hopefully something happens, because I cant see them winning if you bring this to court, and it does sound like that it could be discrimination, you said the dairy manager and the owner are both persian right?
I'm going to Bookmark this thread; an interesting read.
Sue SUE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!!
[QUOTE=sarge997;36247024]Sue SUE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!![/QUOTE]
They haven't really broken any law that can be figured out, So far in NYS apparently it is legal to frame someone to cause job loss. It's upto the company to create there own rules inwhich every company in the world has them and follows them but they preferred to forget about it for this case.
Now if I can prove there was something else which is extremely hard then there might be a case, If I was able to reach my 6 months which I was only a month short of I could have qualifed for unemployment.
My job offers lawyers on call and over phone line, I'm going to relook into my old job firing me as I recently got inquired by another employee who went through something like my issue but not as blantent and not as much proof as mine.
This time I'll literally have an army of lawyers to take my case and only a percentage of the winnings go to them. Basically even though in NY with employment at will an Employer can't fire you for no reason without previous footwork leading to the firing. In which my old job required the employee to sign all written and verbal notices in which I've signed none.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Ontop of which I was the one who writes up written and verbal notices of infractions of the store.
So what is the update with the news story??? Also i love your posts from the Retail sucks thread.
They decided for their and my best interest to not get involved, If it does turn into a civil case they will gladly attempt to create a story but don't want to cause distress to me or the store itself without a proper civil case.
They did refer me to some resources that sadly wouldn't take a contigency. I would like to say that I managed to get two employees to now step up and are willing to stand by me in court and testify to things that haven't been mentioned in this thread or working retail thread since I worked there. It's really sensitive stuff that will now turn this case into something bigger then me. I recieved a lawyers number who apparently is gladly able to take a contingency or refer me to one of his other employement law friends who will take a contingency.
They are going down, Deep.
Ohshit Cube. Sue them for lotsa emone.
