Can someone please help me? Nine years ago I was charged for shoplifting a DVD at Target. I was young and stupid and did it for fun not because I needed money. Two years ago I got a new job and the owner of the company did a background check on me without my permission. After my employer found the theft record the employer’s son had a company meeting telling the other employees to keep an eye on me because I have a criminal record. Soon after that shipment orders started to go missing someone in the company started stealing and they knew that I would be accused. The company installed cameras only pointing in my area to watch me but they could never catch me doing anything wrong. I was always at my work station and never brought a bag in the building and never walked out of the building with anything in my hands. The company later started thinking someone in the company was helping me. Because I am African American women and there were only two other African Americans working for the company, they assumed that we were working together to steal. The company made up a story that I was taking products and throwing it in the trash and having the two guys take the trash out. I decided to quit, but before I left I told the owner that I knew about all the lies they were spreading. The company denied everything and pretended like they didn’t know what I was talking about. I soon found a new job. My new job called my old job for a reference and was told that they felt I was stealing from the company and that I was possibly on drugs. After hearing this news my new job fired me. I soon got hired at another job and my job contacted the same company they basically slander my name again with lies and theories. I only been at my new job for two weeks and got great reviews from my employer they were thinking of giving me an early raise. Now it seems like I will be fired again after receiving after my old job completely lied on me. If you meet me I am one of the nicest people you could know and everyone liked me at my old job. I worked hard and made sure I was a good employee. I made a mistake when I was a teen and it seems like this company is out to destroy me. Can someone help me? I know this company has broken a lot of laws and I don’t think they should get away with this. I will never be able to keep a job if they continue to spread lies. Thanks
