Fired After A Couple Hr Inquiries (ma)

Card image cap

Back in January, I reached out to HR about my PTO balance as I was trying to calculate for a trip in May after being in a car accident. I was told that 8 hours of my PTO had already been used this year. After pressing HR they said that it had been used for a day we were shut down for a storm. I told them that I did not approve or request to use my PTO for this and they looped in my GM who admitted that some people asked to use PTO for the day so she just used a PTO day for the entire staff. They were able to "reset it" by not using a PTO day for a couple days, I had requested off for a doctor's appointment the following week. Making my check that week short.

In the beginning of February, a coworker of mine said that she had to reach out to HR because when she got her W2 her SSN was incorrect. I checked mine just for funsies and ended up having to request W2s for the last two years as my company had input my SSN incorrectly two years in a row and I had never caught it. I can only imagine what this is going to do to my taxes.

Fast forward to earlier this month and I was fired for "not meeting expectations," and my termination letter says that I had a final warning from December 2025 however my final warning was retaliatory and was from December 2024 and I was under the impression that those expire after 12 months. When I pressed my GM for the reason I was fired, given that this was the case, she said I was fired for "being too negative." I'm well-liked by patrons and my coworkers and believe that I was terminated for bringing up all these bookkeeping issues. Just curious if anyone thinks I have a leg to stand on moving forward. I've already applied for UI but am now getting the run around because believe it or not they filed the incorrect SSN for that as well. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
