Any advice on applying for unemployment in California would be appreciate. I'm wrecked right now over this.

California is a right to work state. You can be fired for any or no reason as long as it is not proven to be discrimination.

It's still retaliation in California. Getting fired after reporting discrimination, harassment, law or code violations, etc. is still considered retaliation even if they make up an excuse like attendance.

They said they were going to but didn't. I don't know the details but it's very possible that there won't be much that can be done without a significant amount of evidence. The only option is to do a few free consultations with different labor lawyers and see if any want to take the case.

They said they were going to make a written statement, it's likely they'd already talked to someone about making that statement, which would still be retaliation.

From what I understand, CA labor law is pretty pro-labor about retaliation. When I worked in CA, there were mandatory labor law trainings every year or so, like 90% of which was "this is discrimination, this is harassment, this is retaliation, here are your rights about it"

Hopefully they find a lawyer that takes the case, if so should get a decent settlement
