Legal Question in Employment Law in Oklahoma

Dispute with former employer Lowes

I worked for Lowes as a sales specialist in Plumbing for 6 months, then Appliances for 11 months. After my 2nd month in appliance dept, another sales specialist was hired, and this began a 10 month period of unfair treatment, resulting in my losing hundreds of dollars of potential sales per month. As specialists, there is a degree of manual labor involved, i.e. cleaning, major product resets, pulling large appliances and loading them, and putting away pallets of freight. My fellow specialist refused to do his portion of the work on a daily basis, resulting in a daily routine of my having to do the work of both of us to keep management happy. In spite of dozens of professional attempts (including many e-mails sent to management over 10 months) to resolve this unfair environment, management did nothing. I worked daily in intolerable conditions while the other employee was not held to any of the work. I was fired recently for an ''inappropriate e-mail'' I sent to a fellow employee where I angrily but jokingly expressed my frustrations at some of the management (bad language was used). I am not disputing my firing, but would like to finally have some closure after 10 months of lost sales and extreme emotional duress.
