I as hired as an Underwriting Manager for a company by the owners,

I as hired as an Underwriting Manager for a company by the owners, and handed over to a dept. head that felt she should have been the one to make the decision. She refused to give me my work as I sat there for days with nothing to do, and was later hauled in by the owners to say they were terminating me because I as hired for political reasons to woo a potential partner, and they made a mistake by listening to him. I am well qualified for the job but the department manager insisted they get rid of me. I was caught in a power play. They humiliated and embarrassed me to
tears. Do you think I have a civil rights, or harrassment case?

Not anything yet. I am waiting for your response. This is a tough situation to litigate in an "at will " state

I believe you need to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) HERE. Also, the firing had to be based on a true reason for termination, not a political play. You can also file a Civil Claim of Personal Injury against them for the cruel treatment, harassment, and humiliation they caused you. Depending on the size of the company and if they are under a Corporation, you may also be able to file a claim against the company for wrongful termination, harassment, and violating your civil rights. Go HERE to read more.

I highly recommend getting an attorney to represent you in the matter either Personal Injury, Employment Law, or both.

If you need further assistance, please contact me with additional information or questions. Good luck & God bless!
