Or call (619) 612-9902Four separate jobs hide behind one search for help with a San Diego firing. A wrongful termination claim asks whether the stated reason was one the law took away from the employer. A retaliation claim traces protected reporting to the adverse act that followed it. A discrimination claim names a category and produces a comparator. A severance review reads a release before a signature makes it permanent. Guessing wrong costs real money here, because the administrative intake, the right-to-sue letter, the federal charge window, and the deadline stamped on a release all run on separate calendars that do not wait for each other.
At-will employment permits many business decisions. The question is whether the decision was driven by a reason the law forbids, not whether it was cold, inconsistent, or poorly handled.
Messages, reports, performance history, policy language, access records, and witness names can show chronology and knowledge. Preserve what is yours to keep without taking protected company materials.
CRD, the EEOC, an internal process, arbitration, a union procedure, and other agencies serve different roles. Selecting one route does not automatically preserve every possible deadline.
A severance agreement can ask for a quick answer, but it should not force a blind waiver. Its release language and the separate government filing dates need review before a decision is made.
Do not let a severance deadline or the shock of a firing hide the more important dates. Preserve the notice, messages, reviews, complaint records, and a written timeline. Then start a San Diego employment-law review early enough to evaluate the claim and the CRD filing path before the three-year general deadline becomes an avoidable problem.
