My question involves defamation in the state of: Alabama
I was wrongfully accused of a work related incident that resulted in the termination of my job. Sadly I love my job and felt I was very good at it after only working for a limited amount of time. Things were not always great, but it was still the job I loved. I had a manager who would steal money from my register often. I went to management about it and nothing ever happened. Recently I noticed that this manager was taking longer in the office every night counting the drawers. For some reason my drawer came up short every night I worked! Which is crazy, because always make sure that my drawer is never short.
Recently my total damages that this manager managed to ring up on my account is $4,477.77 which is a lot in a 20 day period! As a cashier who works about 3 days a week for about 4 hours or less at a time. I don't have access to that type of money, because its a whole lot. As perceived I was blind sided into coming into the management office for a "meeting" as to where I was told it was about "employee benefits" I got comfortable and later it turned into a interrogation to where I was blocked and could not leave the room (Which is illegal)!! And was not allowed to call anyone not even my parents (which is also illegal)!! This sucked for me as I am a 18 year old black male. So now I am facing jail time, because of something that one of my managers had done! Which is crazy.
This manager also has 2 counts of sexual assault at the work place, but still not fired or had any criminal history added on. I am a young male still in high school who doesn't want my future destroyed by a false account made about "me". I really hate this. Maybe you guys can help save my future, because I am innocent!
Thank you!
