    Default Re: Terminated for Missing Bank Deposit, No Investigation Pursuant Despite Request

    The OP is not being charged with anything. No outside sources have been told anything about what's happened. There is nothing to suggest that any adverse references have been provided to anyone or even contemplated.

    But you're of the opinion that yelling and screaming and making lots of noise and essentially rubbing everyone's nose in it is going to cause fewer problems in the long run than quietly accepting a legal termination. I see. You have an odd idea of what things are likely to haunt one.

    I do think you have one point worth addressing, and that is negotiating a neutral reference. But you're quite wrong if you think the best way to handle it is by injunction. Do you really want to give the employer the opportunity to say something on the order of, "By court order I am prevented from giving you anything but basic information about this employee"? And yes, they quite legally could do exactly that.

    I would consult with an attorney about reporting the theft to the authorities and what that means.
    A waste of time and money, IMO. What good will it to do report this alleged theft to law enforcement? If the employer and the bank don’t care, and it is one of those two that suffered the loss, if any, from it then why would law enforcement care about it either? Most agencies have plenty of work to do investigating crimes in which the victims to care about criminal prosecution to be concerned about a theft from victims who are not concerned enough themselves to report it. Given that law enforcement is not very likely to act on the OP’s theft complaint, I don’t see that helping him in his quest for vindication. And it could backfire, since it’s possible that if he makes a big fuss the employer and bank will indeed try to pin it on him, and may just have enough evidence to do it.

    I would also consider filing for an injunction that would prevent the bank from disclosing any of the reasons for my termination. That in itself would also lead to discovery. I would use any and all resources to vindicate myself so that this doesn't haunt me the rest of my life.
    I think that is premature and potential waste of money, too. The OP right now does not know what the employer will say about the termination. The employer may just give some bland explanation and not allege the theft in future employment references. If the employer does not tell anyone else anything that is potentially defamatory, then there is nothing to sue over this. Suing for an injunction when the OP does not yet know what the employer will say is bit like putting the cart before the horse. Certainly the employee might wish to negotiate a neutral reference if he can. I’d start there and see what happens before going to court.
