Thread regarding U.S. Bank layoffs

Worth pursing action for wrongful termination?

I wont get into the whole story...but last year I was fired for specifically "a false/unfounded HR complaint" and violation of using skype...(complaining of the workplace toxicity).

I had complained through the textbook ethics channels against my immediate manager for basically being a se-ual predator/se-ual harrassment/favoritism based on these things. I complained again when it became painfully obvious i was being retaliated against. Then fired out of the blue a few weeks later. I was let go peak pandemic and put on the street over this with unemployment completely jammed up.

In the recent months this manager in question was arrested for 3 felony ra-e charges. then he lost his job but I almost have survivors guilt if he had been dealt with sooner this other victim would have been spared. Thoughts?

Proving your case would be difficult. It would take a long time to get a hearing and would cost you more in legal fees than it would be worth. Unless you were actually assaulted and filed a police report at the time, I would suggest getting some therapy to help you heal from your emotional trauma. You have every right to feel angry for all you have been through and you deserve to be compensated but I think you are better off chalking it up to experience. My position was eliminated in the middle of the pandemic and I had been with the bank for two decades. It was a cr---y time to be let go. But the longer I am away from that place, the happier I am that I am free of the political BS and layers of mediocre managers who clearly didn't get to their positions by merit. I wish you all the best.

Non-lawyer here. Regardless of whether a wrongful termination action can be pursued at this point, any company retaliating onbehalf* of a person who was eventually arrested on charges of this nature would and should be raked over the coals. No company should be coddling this kind of behavior by an employee. If resorting to the courts isn't an option, it may still be worth putting this into the court of public opinion by following up with any media who have reported on the arrest and charges. It would extremely embarrassing to any company to have so poorly misjudged and acted in the manner you've described.
