In nyc, if I’m fired without any sort of negative feedback, documentation, or performance improvement plan, do I have grounds for legal action?

In NYC, the presence of negative feedback is better grounds for legal action than the absence of negative feedback, since it gives you something to contest in court.

You probably signed an at will contract so nope

Fired or laid off? If the former, depends what you did (or did not do) to get shitcanned. If the latter, no, you have no grounds for legal action.

Really, your only grounds for legal action is if you were somehow discriminated against based on race, age, sex or orientation.

Nope.

This is all what I figured ☹️ I’ve asked for feedback multiple times and gotten nada, but recently saw my job posted by a recruiter 😡

Just make sure you get an employment attorney to vet and try and improve your severence.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
