What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NH. I worked for Walgreens for 1 yr and 7 months. I was promoted a couple of times. I was fired one day for allegedly stealing trial size scope bottles. I was called into the office by two managers and the loss prevention guy from the district office. They asked me if I had a drinking problem or was an alcholic? I didn't know what they were talking about. Well to get to the point, they were accusing me of stealing these. I don't even drink. They showed me a video of myself standing near the display. I work there. I am sure there were videos of many different employees by the display. I begged them to investigate further and they would clearly see I wasnt stealing anything. I asked them to show me a video of me actually stealing. I know they didn't have one because I didn't steal anything. They told me that didn't have to show me anything. and they would investigate but only to build a case against me. They wanted me to sign a statement admitting to it. I refused. I will not admit to anything I didn't do. I have a 6 month old son too. They told me I would be prosecuted if I didn't admit to it, and I would have a warrant out for my arrest and go to prison and be taken away from my son. To just admit it and pay for the scope. Either way they said I will be fired anyways. Well I still refused. I didn't know what was going on. I did nothing. They also said if I didn't admit to it that I would be blamed for other things that were missing, money from the till, cameras, etc. They said just by me being a "hard worker " it made me look suspicious. Because the LP guy said nobody likes to work hard. Usually the hard workers are trying to hide something. Well I am just a hard worker , it makes the day go by faster. I am certainly not stealing from the company that I make money from . As a matter of fact, a few weeks prior I found a customer's wallet in the bathroom (where there is no video cameras) I located the license, and also saw there was money and credit cards in there. I called the customer to tell her I found it , and gave it to the same two managers to put in the office. I could've very well stole the wallet without anyone knowing if I was such a thief. I called my boss the next day and asked if they investigated further. He said yes. I know he was lying. He told me over the phone I was fired. He also told me that I wouldn't be able to find a job because I was being put on the retail do not hire data base. Whatever that is. Well apparently, unemployment will be hard too. because they have me as being fired for theft. Now the manager and another department head has been going around telling other employees that he saw me stealing on video. That is such a lie! There can't be such a video. I DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING. They are also adding in the fact that I ate a candy bar before paying for it. But that is a practice all employees do when they are working the front checkout. We save the upc bar code and then pay for it afterwards. I do still have my receipt for the candy bar. Do I have any rights? How is it possible that they can ruin my life over something that isn't factual? I have a 6 month old baby to support by myself. Kind of hard when I can't get another job or even collect unemployemnt.
