    Default Financial Liability for an Office Manager

    I am in TN.

    I resigned as office manager after 17 years and now it is being said that my ex employer is considering legal options regarding the finances at the office I managed. Meaning, that the office was (and still is) in serious financial troubles when I left. There were back taxes owed to the IRS, and just a lot of overall debt. The basic situation was is the cash flow was just not there. The size of the budget far exceeded the income. This is all well documented in the financial information that professional accountants were given to do the taxes and legal books. The owner was aware of this and I had approached them regularly regaring the bills and finances. They were also aware of the taxes that were unpaid and that the IRS filed a lien on the property. The bills were not paid because there was no money to pay. I have been indirectly and directly blamed even though they knew there was no money.

    I resigned and left in December and they have been telling other employess that they could hold me responsible and take legal action against me because I was responsible for paying the bills and they didn't know that the finances were that bad.

    What is my financial / legal responsbility as an office manager, what kind of suit could be filed and what is my recourse.
