I need some direction from anyone that has dealt with employment law in California. I have a situation that has arisen, and need some advice. Please PM. Thanks,


Erik

Not a lawyer, but here's my understanding.

1) California is an at-will state - which supposedly technically means either party can terminate at any time.

2) No company I have ever worked for in california has ever acted like 1) is actually true. Conventional wisdom is that to fire someone requires them to have been notified of their performance problem at least say twice, once in writing, and been given a chance to rectify.

It really doesn't sound like you're not performing. It sounds like there was a miscommunication, which is not an uncommon thing. You might want to consider writing something that is more apologetic in tone (but not necessarily apologising.) and that you could do your job better if you were better informed of the facts. My goal would be to try to take the heat out of the situation. You might want to try and have a conversation on the phone or in person too - I sometimes find myself having really heated email discussions with people and overreacting to things - so this might be what your manager is doing.

Anyways - hope it works out okay.
