What to do about a wrongful termination/discrimination/retaliation for filing report with my corporate office?
I work at a hospital and I submitted a report about an incident to the corporate office’s 800-number, which is encouraged and is supposed to be confidential. Within that same week, I was called to Human Resources and asked why I had filed the report. The following week, I was called to HR again and told that I had a choice between being terminated, or resigning. I have not decided yet what to do, and the company has not even given me an explanation about what I am being terminated for. I have no history of disciplinary action and I have been working at this hospital for 6 years. Do I have a case for wrongful termination via retaliation/discrimination?

You may very well have an excellent case for wrongful termination. You do not provide any details on why you complained nor why they fired you or allowed you to resign. These issues are vital to examine a possible case. Contact me to discuss in detail. Thanks, Tim Klisz
