Some background I live in CA and I was working for a startup. I had a basic roll of being in the IT department and our company has about 200 people. I was always told by management that I was a steller employee and always promised me a raise in the coming months. Fast forward to about a week ago my direct manager put a meeting on my schedule telling me that they are firing me. When I asked for a reason they told me I was “working a second job” I attempted to show them tax documents to prove I just had one job but they said their decision was final. It was really out of left field that they just randomly fired me.
