company made me work after deciding to fire me

so for the last 2 ish months management had been giving me shit for expressing my issues with a coworker who was above me in responsibility. he had been openly sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, you name it. one night he overstepped his boundaries and told me to my face i don’t do anything, even after i told him multiple times i didn’t want to engage in the conversation. management would continue to insist this was a “team meeting” rather than a confrontation. over the next couple months they’d bring me into meetings expecting me to forgive the coworker, who insisted he did nothing wrong and we were wasting his time. when i stood my ground and didn’t, they starting digging old shit up on me which led to me getting fired on friday morning. termination paperwork made me out to be hostile and refusing to work with others, and quoted…


so for the last 2 ish months management had been giving me shit for expressing my issues with a coworker who was above me in responsibility. he had been openly sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, you name it. one night he overstepped his boundaries and told me to my face i don’t do anything, even after i told him multiple times i didn’t want to engage in the conversation. management would continue to insist this was a “team meeting” rather than a confrontation.

over the next couple months they’d bring me into meetings expecting me to forgive the coworker, who insisted he did nothing wrong and we were wasting his time. when i stood my ground and didn’t, they starting digging old shit up on me which led to me getting fired on friday morning. termination paperwork made me out to be hostile and refusing to work with others, and quoted me saying things i’ve never said.

the kicker is i worked overnights and my manager scheduled this meeting thursday afternoon, a good four hours before my shift began. i worked my entire 10 hours, met my manager in the morning after my shift, and was terminated. when i confronted her and called that decision disrespectful, she clammed up and couldn’t give me a straight answer.

tl;dr: company had me work an entire shift before they told me i was fired, even though the decision had been made before my shift began
