Today, our company's owner's son took over. The first thing he did? Fire me. Why? He said my sales are down. I work in Public Relations. FML

Not only could you get compensation and/or your job back, but this could be a reality check to the new boss showing that you need to understand the law and the way business works before you can attempt to manage it. You can't fire someone for low sales when you aren't in a sales position... It's like telling the store custodian he is fired because his cash register was short too many times. Isn't possible unless he took on new responsibilities, but then he wouldn't be the custodian!

A claim for wrongful termination might be reasonable. In California, you can file with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing. Might want to check out the equivalent in your area.
