Okay, I need real advice because I just don’t understand people I guess. I was recently fired from a company I worked at for 10 years. This post could get extremely long but the short version is, a girl I worked with told a plethora of lies and HR not only believed her BS but documented it and terminated not only me but another of their best and longest working employees over it. She is still employed and has been promoted. And these lies are so blatant I can show 3 texts and prove them wrong.

I guess I’m just wondering what my best course of action is. Civil suit against her or against the company for wrongful termination?

I’ve worked 14+ days every day in November except yesterday when I only logged 6 hours of work (billable plus non-billable) (were required to upload our time every night now). How long should I wait after hanging up with our CFO just now who called me to tell me I’m behind and slacking to update my resume?

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!
