Wrongful Termination questions and answers

• My son was fired for situation that derived from Epilepsy. The company was aware of. It has been over 180 days. Is there anything that can be done?

  Asked in Calhoun, GA | February 15, 2026

  His epilepsy causes memory loss, and he had 1 incident where he failed to let them know when he pulled a muscle. Which, for one, he had no remembrance of and did not really realize he pulled a muscle, since he unloaded boxes for a living, sore was sore most nights, then a second incident concerning an ankle issue they were aware of. Still, they said he should have told them about it before leaving. Again, his memory issue was the reason he didn't say anything, and the fact that they knew of this prior. He did have one valid incident. Which usually would not have ended in termination. His boss expressed regret that it had exceeded the requirements.

• I was recently let go from my job after 9 years without notice, bad review, or pip.

  Asked in Parker, CO | August 16, 2026

  I was terminated the day before my nine-year anniversary, with my employer stating I no longer had the skill set required for my position. I am a woman over 50. I started as the organization’s only creative/marketing employee and built its Marketing & Communications department and internal media studio. I had never received a negative review, warning, or PIP. In April, my supervisor requested more creative strategy but did not provide clear expectations or measures of success. An outside consultant was hired, and approximately 4 months later I was terminated without seeing the findings or being given an opportunity to improve. I also recently completed what was presented as an anonymous survey about my supervisor, stating that I felt expectations were unclear. Afterward, meetings with her were canceled, and I was terminated a few weeks later. I received six months’ severance and benefits. I would like to know whether these circumstances warrant review for possible age/sex discrimination and/or retaliation.
