I find it strange that you are being asked to go out of town even though your job has never required out of town trips. Also, he wouldn't clarify where your were going or why??? (I may have missed something) Is he trying to hit on you? It just all sounds weird. Where did your kids go when you pulled the all nighters? If you worked all night, he may assume that you have someone for the kids.
I agree, go to work. If he fires you there, ask for a letter stating the reason for your termination. Good luck to you. I'll be praying.
When I worked late and weekends, all nighters it was when their Dad was around so they had somewhere to go. Now he's gone and everyone at my office knows it. Boss just would not tell me why but I know where. Don't think I was being hit on. We are a pretty small group at HQ, it's like living in a small town everybody knows everybody's business.
Thank you for your kind words and prayers. |

| In right to work states, you can terminate for no reason but you cannot terminate for an illegal reason. Thus they need to give you some information. Plus, normally when terminated, they have to pay your wages and all accrued benefits within a certain number of days. In addition, you have to receive information regarding your right to continue certain benefits under COBRA laws. They can't just not tell you something.
Your state should have an Industrial Commission that monitors workplace issues. Also, look up the National Labor Relations Board if you suspect they terminated you for retaliation. |

Location: Texas | If you are terminated, could your boss have done something and needed someone to blame? Then used the travel thing as an excuse? I know that's more like a soap opera but I've seen such stuff happen.
Either way, many hugs and prayers. When I was hiring I would have loved to found an employee like you. |

If you value your job, go to him and tell him you will find a way to make the trip....Then do it. |
