Terminator'ed

On the bright side you have almost no time with the company so at least you have`nt devoted much of your life to the company. I almost wish I was fired 21 years ago,now its too late.

It's called constructive termination.
If it wasn't the trumped up "sexual harassment" charges it probably would have been something else.
Perhaps take another poster's suggestion of talking one on one with the center manager to attempt to clear up any misunderstandings.
what you described is not constructive termination nor is the OP's termination a case of constructive termination.

constructive termination is where an employer unilaterally changes the conditions of employment (hours, pay, etc), conditions of the workplace, and/or tasks that the employee is required to perform with the intent to force that employee to quit. this is done by an employer that doesn't want to pay a severance or the employer cannot find just cause.

examples of constructive termination is cutting the hours of a 25-year full-timer to 4 hours a day despite his/her objection or demoting the centre manager with 20 years experience into a part time preload trainer, done with the intent of forcing these employees to quit.

what you described is hardly illegal provided it's for just cause (insubordination, dishonesty, misconduct), unless the employer systematically harasses the employee (like entrapment).

Give ole' 1 trick pony a break.
He is probably on his last sip of the botlle and does not realize he uses words that he doesn't know the meaning of.

Hello? Anyone hearing this? A seasonal driver was fired during peak? How many center managers can you think of would want to lose a driver during peak?

A couple of things to consider:

If your in a "right to work" state - they really don't have to give you a reason or explanations

A if your seasonal you are working under the "free period" also when seasonal employees are hired the seasonal agreement clearly states that the "work, hours, and length of service you get to work" is not guaranteed (it is at management disgression)

Sorry for what happen, but I think they took the easy way out on getting rid of someone they thought couldn't get the job done
