What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I was recently terminated, for a very supid decision on my part.. 2and 1/2 years ago my employer convinced my to sit for a test to obtain certification, my employer payed for the certification, with the condition I pay it back if I failed.. I am not good test taker,(in 2006) as I finished up taking test, and was told instantly I failed, a co worker called on my cell phone asking about results, embarrassed and feeling bad i told this co worker I passed. He proceeded to call my boss and everyone else and relay the information, now I really felt BAD and didn't know what to do. Instead of hitting this problem I created head on I just ignored it. I never told my boss or any other coworker that i passed, however I never disputed the lie. Recently I was called on the carpet, was asked to show the certification,(I told them I was unable) but yet again I did not tell them I failed. I was given termination papers right then the reasons where inappropriate behavior, missapproriating, and service violation. I have been at this company for 10years, have had all excellent yearly evaluations. Ironically enough one of the things I am known for is telling the truth no matter the cost. I am saying lesson learned for my own stupidy.... My coworkers are all telling me to fight this, I am woundering on what grounds?
