I was called into a 'confrence' with my horrible boss and a man named Jim, who supposedly works with loss prevention. They start by asking me if I know the World MArket employee discount policies, I respond with a"Yes, only immidiate family and I can use it," he then corrects me and says only immeidate family that lives with you can use it. So I then assume this confrence is about the fact that I let my friend use my discount card several times. They ask me if I remember some certain purchases, I remember some of them, Jim then asks me to tell him how these purchases were paid for, I then realise they were paid with a WM gift card. He then says that a miss Destiny Norman(my firend) had recently returned some itmes that hadn't been sold, in Tucson, this year.... Ok? He then accuses her of stealing these items, returning them for stor credit, and then using it with my employee discount card. I tell him she would never do such a thing, and that if these items have been stolen(I didnt know what these items were yet) that I did not know. He starts throwing accusations at me, indirectly calling me a liar, telling me to confess otherwise they'll have to bring the authorities into it. They even claim to have contacted 'miss Mornan', and have already recieved a statement from here, directly after he says this, he says he'll need me to confess by the end of the day or they'll take legal action. By this time I'm sobbing and I refuse to listen to them, I know my friend would never do such a thing, she'd never steal, and she'd never lie and accuse me of stealing, so I demand they let me speak to her, they don't. Well, I speak to her late that night, she's infuriated. She tells me there's no way in h**l they could have contacted her, because she specifically gave them the wrong number on the return slip(the return slip asks for you address,name,DL# and phone#) so that they wouldn't call her to advertise.So, they lied to me to get me to accuse her of something she didn't do. Or to get me to confess to something I can't confess to. They also lied when they said these items had not been soled in Tucson,this year, because when I finally realised what one of the items were, I recall selling that very item no less than amonth ago in my store. My family wants me to hire a civil lawyer, and my friend is willing to take this to court as well. The ONLY problem is, I do not have receipts to either of these items, the item that belonged to me, I've owned for nearly a year, the item that belonged to my friend, she got as ahouse warming gift when she moved into her 1st apartment, a year ago. What should I do, and CAN they actually DO anything to me? They fired me, obviously, but I wouldn't go back to work for them even if I did get this cleared up, or if I did sue. I don't however, want my work history to be ruined. Please help!!!
