Told them my daughter attempted suicide and was told to take whatever time I needed. Fired a month later. Do I have any recourse?
My daughter attempted suicide six weeks ago. I have had to take her to appointments, etc. they hired an interim part time CEO to help lead. I had to reach out to him to speak with me, although he had spoken with everyone else. I had tried to schedule some time with the founder of my company to tell him what was going on, and he declined. My boss knew. Then I told them that they needed to really think about the direction they were going and then I told them I was very capable of making c-level decisions based on my experience and that I felt they had ignored me since I told them about my daughter. A week later, fired and told I was overqualified. Never talked to the interim CEO again. Do I have a claim for either retaliation or discrimination? I am also being treated for depression now.
