Last night I was wrongly terminated from my job. I honestly became a whistle blower to HR 3 weeks ago. They came to town and discovered some employees came fourth an confirmed information I provided that laws were broken, unethnical practices and more. I told HR this exact thing would happen once it came out and to expect it. within 2 weeks it happened. Now HR is telling me to report back to work when they tell me to. I was in management there also.
Any attorney on here able to speak on this with me? Dont know the laws but this happened in Memphis.
thank you

Will one of you legal eagle fellas please help this guy out? I have a friend who could very easily be in a similar situation so I'd like to hear your input as well. Thanks.

I'm no lawyer, but I did drive past a Holiday Inn Express today.
Mississippi is a "right to work" state. To my knowledge, an employer can terminate an employee for any reason. as long as it is not an illegal reason (race, age, sex, ethnicity, etc).

this may be the info you need.

Think he works in tn, but aren't they the same way?

Yes I work in TN.
yes they gave me a reason, bullying and making 2 ppl feel threatened about new tasks and time changes basically. Which I was the whistle blower on about 6 different things which 1 did pertain to federal and state laws. Ive been there 10 yrs and never 1 complaint or issue before. once HR came in town and spoke with employees they discovered I was giving them exact information. So then everything was relayed to upper management. I was not included to see exactly what was told. Then all of this came to after HR left when I told them this exact thing would happen once they were gone but didnt know what the reason would be. Now its happened and came to and I was released in what I feel as revenge against me. This exact thing happened to other 2 employees that went to HR as well. HR and corporate ppl were to call me today but never heard a word.
Luckily a member here is helping me with it all.

There are specific laws that protect whistle blowers in any state. MS and TN are both right to work states and you technically CAN be fired for no reason, however if they don't give a reason, or give a BS reason, there are lawyers in MS and TN that still do wrongful termination suits that go beyond race/sex/religion. I know a couple teachers (non-union teachers as well) who were wrongly terminated and hired lawyers in the Memphis area to get their situation cleared up. It sounds like you have found attorney help on the matter. Hope it works out, and let us know how it shakes out.

Just a suggestion: this is a Tennessee case and you need to consult an attorney licensed in Tennessee.
