Q: I got wrongfully terminated twice by 2 different departments within JPMorgan ( once in Feb 2017 and 2nd time July 2017
Termination was in both cases due to budgetary cut not work performances. After I left first group they hired in a matter of max 2 months somebody else on exact same job. Currently I got terminated within the 2nd group because an Indian woman manager did not like my white Caucasian origins. From April to July she changed my job description I was not doing Program Management for which I was hired but I was assigned to do Quality Assurance testing, plus I had 0 communication and/or guidance from her in work related matters. I and one of my other colleagues white received: "You look frustrated", "You have weaknesses", "The way you completed the work it's inadmissible to be shown to the business" (even though business said everything looks ok). I wrote a memo to their Employment Relationships- 2nd day after they announced me without notice I am terminated with 45 days to look inside company for another role, they changed my status in Non Working Notice. I am pregnant and need a job
A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. You have options. You should sit down with an employment lawyer to go over what they are. Many attornies will offer a free consultation. You can file a complaint with the New York City Commission on Human Rights if you were working in New York City or the New York State Division of Human Rights. Bringing a law suit may be your end goal, but how you get there should be discussed with an attorney.
V. Jonas Urba agrees with this answer
A:
Consider filing a complaint or charge with the New York City Commission on Human Rights. Most lawyers will recognize that you have now publicized on the internet your discrimination claim against a particular, Named employer on line. Most of us would not suggest any potential client do that.
Poor judgment is a valid basis for firing an employee. Although this employer is very large your job and your facts almost identify you by name now.
It will not be difficult for this employer to find your post on line. You have almost guaranteed that you will not be able to ever work for this employer in the future.
More importantly you have now informed every lawyer who may have considered representing you that mitigation of damages will be extremely challenging and the likelihood of an adverse impact on potential settlement is high.
