backstory, i'm an assistant manager/cook at a Asian restaurant....i've worked there for 4 years now, and i've been taking some time off work to be with my uncle who is on his death bed.....well during this time off, the original owner who hired me fell ill himself and sold his share of the company to this new guy...so this new owner came in while I was away and alienated everybody and I just got home to see this email in my inbox...i dont know what to make of it

HjVbZcN

apparently i'm not up to standard? but that doesn't make sense....i'm the best at my job, do everything by the book, make sure everybody else does too...do my best to make sure we are protecting profits, offering superior customer service when I get out from behind the wok....i can say with 100 percent confidence that i'm the BEST at what I do.....but yet, i'm not up to "standard"?

This is racism. Denying a job cause you're not Asian is racism. Threaten to sue

It's only an allegation unless he has physical evidence of the guy, himself, stating those things.

Sucks though, but welcome to the world of unqualified, let alone, shitty people being put in positions of power. This is Trump's America.

The reason you are being pushed out was literally spelt out for you yet you are still wondering what is going on. I can only assume you must be trolling out of boredom.

Quit and move in with a family member. Six months later, hire a lawyer and make your case in court that the discrimination lead to severe depression and feelings of worthlessness which have prevented you from finding employment elsewhere.

Once you win though, you have to give that family member 30%.

i made 14 bucks a hour plus overtime as a assistant manager....its not glorious, but i know people who make less with jobs that require higher degrees of labor/skill...plus I pretty much get 3 meals a day and have a killer grocery bill...you dont need to shit on peoples wages....not everybody has the circumstances or connections where they can get themselves into college to learn a career or trade, so we do what we can....no need to insult them for it

If you talk to some lawyers, if they feel you'll get money in the lawsuit, they'll take their cut out of the settlement.

You can collect unemployment from them until you find another job. You're entitled for unemployment if you feel you were wrongfully let go. You can't quit on your own volition though.

All the Asian restaurants here have only Asians working there. It's weird because this is an incredibly diverse city right outside a military base. Every other restaurant has a diverse staff.

The fun things places like this can do is not actually fire you, just slash your hours until you're forced to quit anyway.
