My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Minnesota.
For about a month my boss was very clearly trying to get me to quit my job, so then he could get rid of me without having to pay for unemployment benefits. There were several things that they did to make my job suck as much as possible.
This is a small company, and they even hired another employee when it was very clear that they didn't need additional help. The new hire started just weeks before our slowest time of year, and so it was extremely likely someone would be getting laid off soon.
Then, less than a week after the new hire started, my managers had a meeting with me where they made up all kinds of stuff and they claimed that I had been doing a terrible job. They placed me on probation and, without any warning first, they took away a privilege that was a very big deal to me.
During the meeting, there were several times where I clearly told them they were lying, along with explanations of how what they were saying wasn't true, and then towards the end, I said that what they've been doing is completely ridiculous and messed up.
I was promptly fired after that, with the reason being that I had called them liars, along with saying what they're doing is ridiculous and messed up.
I didn't realize at the time just how strict the unemployment laws are. Can I still get unemployment benefits? I documented the various things they were doing to me, and there's no way the timing of everything was just a coincidence.
