F Bombs and Employment Law

Can I really be fired for cursing at work?


Some years ago, I had a federal case of age, color, race, and gender discrimination in New York.
At her deposition, my client testified, under oath, that she told her boss, “Go fuck yourself” and then was fired shortly thereafter.

The now deceased federal Judge dismissed the case on Defendants’ summary judgment motion. His honor found, generally, that, when you tell your boss to go fuck himself, you no longer have a viable discrimination/retaliation claim for the jury to decide.

If you’re suffering from discrimination at work, it is important that you reach out to an employment lawyer immediately before you allow it to get so intolerable that you wind up doing something regretful like cursing out your boss.

That is to say, you can be legitimately terminated for hurling f bombs at your boss.
If you or someone you know is suffering at work, contact The Law Office of David H. Rosenberg, P.C.

The Case of the Wife Controlling Husband


The Case of the Wife Controlling Husband

Recently, a gentleman called and said that his wife had just been terminated after being sexually harassed for years. I then asked to speak to his wife and he asked, “Why?” I explained that his wife, not him, would be the only person to pursue these claims, and that I would need to speak with her directly over the phone first.

He refused and replied, “That’s a first”. I asked slyly, “A first meaning your wife doesn’t use the phone?” He then said “I’m done with you” and hung up the phone. Image result for hang up the phone


Plaintiff’s employment lawyers like myself represent the employee, not the employee’s wife controlling husband. Furthermore, the attorney client privilege only attaches itself to communications with the client. That’s why I must speak with the employee, and the employee only, alone.

Rosenberg P.C. are top New York sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and #metoo lawyers dedicated to providing high quality representation to employees suffering from a hostile work environment. If you or someone you know has been wrongfully terminated, contact The Law Office of David H. Rosenberg P.C. to discuss your options as it pertains to the wrongful termination or potential wrongful termination. Our office is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Employees need to be careful about law firms who boast about their "attorneys" and "associates". This is an indication that the law firm has a high overhead that may render them unable to assist you by fronting costs. These large plaintiff law firms often have figureheads who never actually go to court or do any real legal work. More so, a large law firm is an indication that you will be working with some young, inexperienced "associate" or "attorney" and not the actual "partner". Unlike other law firms, you will no be pawned off on some associate. We do not do that to our clients. Instead, Mr. Rosenberg will represent you, personally. Also, be careful of law firms that show you they practice several different areas of law. Employment law has become highly specialized and requires a law firm to focus solely on that area only. The Law Office of David H. Rosenberg P.C. focuses on employment law exclusively. We are not a "general practice". Instead, we are an employment law firm only. We cover all aspects of employment law including discrimination on account of gender, pregnancy, age, disability, national origin, religion, color, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, as well as retaliation for complaining about discrimination and labor law violations such as minimum wage, maximum wage, and overtime claims. Suffering from discrimination? Retaliation? Unlawful termination? We understand the importance of your job and the implications of being fired or demoted for the wrong reason. If you were fired illegally, you may be able to sue your former employer for monetary compensation to cover your damages and to protect others from similar discrimination and retaliation. At our free consultations, we will tell you your rights and determine if your firing was legal or illegal. Contact The Law Office of David H. Rosenberg P.C. at (516) 741-0300 and online at www.employeelawnewyork.com We are top New York Employment Attorneys who protect employee rights to work in a hostile free environment.

The Mysterious Case of The Cheese Loving Boss

Warm greetings and salutations to all of my employee readers, viewers, listeners, and friends. My name is David H. Rosenberg and I am a top New York employment lawyer whose practice has a strong focus on sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. Today we are going to discuss, "The Mysterious Case of The Cheese Loving Boss". Image result for cheese

I recently had a new potential call me and ask if he had a case. This older gentleman felt he was being pushed out of his job because of age. He had just been fired and was seeking legal advice. As one of Long Island's top age discrimination lawyers, I listened carefully to him explain why he believed he was terminated for being over the age of 40. He told me that he had just learned that someone younger, approximately 30 years of age, had been hired to replace him on the job after 20 years of faithful service.

I then asked, "What was the reason they gave you for termination?" He said, "Well, they told me it was because of my Facebook post." I asked, "What did you post?" He replied, "I heard that my co-worker had been promoted to supervisor." I then asked, "And?" He said, "So I posted that he was a cheese-eating rat bastard."

Folks: It doesn't take an employment lawyer to know that you can be fired for publicly posting that your boss is a "cheese-eating rat bastard." While this new potential had a case of age discrimination for me to prosecute and possibly settle for a high financial amount, he absolutely destroyed his claim by publicly ridiculing and shaming his new boss. 

I know that things at work can get heated. I know that it is hard for employees working in a hostile work environment. Try to remember that there are people out there, like myself, to help you. Don't lose your head, keep cool, and have a warm heart.
