The Mysterious Case of The Cheese Loving Boss

 

I recently had a new potential call me and ask if he had a case. This older gentleman felt he was being pushed out of his job because of age. He had just been fired and was seeking legal advice. As one of Long Island’s top age discrimination lawyers, I listened carefully to him explain why he believed he was terminated for being over the age of 40. He told me that he had just learned that someone younger, approximately 30 years of age, had been hired to replace him on the job after 20 years of faithful service.

 

I then asked, “What was the reason they gave you for termination?” He said, “Well, they told me it was because of my Facebook post.” I asked, “What did you post?” He replied, “I heard that my co-worker had been promoted to supervisor.” I then asked, “And?” He said, “So I posted that he was a cheese-eating rat bastard.”

 

Folks: It doesn’t take an employment lawyer to know that you can be fired for publicly posting that your boss is a “cheese-eating rat bastard.” While this new potential had a case of age discrimination for me to prosecute and possibly settle for a high financial amount, he absolutely destroyed his claim by publicly ridiculing and shaming his new boss.

 

I know that things at work can get heated. I know that it is hard for employees working in a hostile work environment. Try to remember that there are people out there, like myself, to help you. Don’t lose your head, keep cool, and have a warm heart.For more information on this topic:
