I went into work on Tuesday, a normal work day. The GM asked me to his office sat me down with the president of the board and said another employee said that I said he and another were stealing from the company. I said absolutely not, I didn't say that. t

When in to work today, 04/26/20016, just a regular business day. Was called by my G.M. to come to his office. When I went into his office the president of the board was there (normal, today is payday and he signs check w/ G.M.) I was told to sit down and close the door, I did. Rod (G.M.) said that he would like to discuss something with me, I said ok. He had let me know that another employee said, that I said, he and his ex-wife (Carol, I.T. manager) were stealing from the company. My response to Rod was, absolutely not! Rod then said, Well I have no reason not to believe this employee and you are fired! I ask the president of the board (Dick Gerhart) that this is a serious accusation against me and if the employee can be called or present in this meeting and he just stared at me. I asked Rod if the employee can be present and he said no, don't have to. Rod also spoke about/brought up, a reference a couple of months ago about me putting on lights at my front desk and how he never called me a nigger, and what he said was, what are you from the hood? And how he doesn’t want the front desk looking like the ghetto, but made a point and wanted to say this in front of the president of the board (Dick Gerhart). Rod asked for my keys and to collect all my things out of my office. Rod followed me into my office and closed my door and told me (just him and I) who the employee was and that they might not have a job next week either. I let him know that this is wrong and I never said that and where is the proof? Rod said he didn't need proof. I told him that someone saying something like that is immediate termination? He said yes. I asked him about the comment he made while in the office in front of Dick about my lights and, looked him in his eyes and said you called me a nigger and you know it’s true, and how I am the type of person that shakes it off and goes back to work. He said, I know. So why am I being fired? He said because I apparently said him and Carol were stealing from the company and the decision has been made. I let him know that for the past three years I dealt with his verbal abuse, getting shut down with ideas I brought to him that he now uses and claims it was his idea, name calling, and never said anything but did my job every day. Rod said no he didn't ever do those things and good luck proving it because it’s his word against mine. I said exactly Rod, and you are firing me over someone's word that is not true. I told Rod that he is threatened by me taking his job because I asked him questions about his position and the responsibilities as he made me get a CAM license. He has been retiring for the last 8yrs; he is 72-74yrs old and forgets things all the time. When I was hired in May 2014 I was told that after 90days my salary would be $950wk. and when I approached him after the 90days he said he never said that. Even another board member (Bill Batson) said my salary was to low and told Rod and Rod said he will look over it and nothing was done. And also Rod told me he didn't like me playing golf with another board member (Bill Batson). I have never been fired before in my life, I take my job very serious in supporting my three kids and my wife and now he took it away from me. 40yrs of hard work to get where I'm at and now gone to favoritism or something. I know something is not right but I don't know because I have never been down this road. Please help and let me know my options. Thank you!
