I worked for my organization for two years and twice received a favorable review, and a raise. My immediate supervisor, who hired me, was let go back in March. I was then let go too, after “failing to achieve all the goals asked of me.” Do I have any options here? Legal or otherwise?
You don’t have any options based on these facts alone. In order to seek legal help, your termination would have to have been for a protected reason (race, sex, age, nation of origin, disability or genetic information.)
It’s always hard to lose your job, particularly when it comes as a surprise and you think you are doing well, but a new boss having a different point of value on the performance of talent who were considered strong performers by a prior boss is not unlawful, and is actually quite a normal occurrence.
