What is the name of your state? Florida
Recently I was fired from my job for Theft of Services & Reselling of merchandise for personal profit. I mailed out 5 packages through our FedEx system without paying for them. As for the reselling of merchandise, I bought a gift card with my discount and sold it online. I have had no prior criminal record or any previous negative feedback from ANY employer. The asset protection manager said that I caused damages to the company in excess of $215. He was trying to scare me to admit to stealing other merchandise, but I haven't...he was saying that he'll be researching all my transactions...I did however admit to the package sending and resale of the giftcard...I filled out a statement of witness and that was that. He kept threatening me saying he could technically have criminal charges brought against me if I didn't cooperate...and I did cooperate...but I think he was wanting me to admit to stealing actual merchandise (but again...I didn't)...so he stepped out of the room and brought my manager in to tell me that I was fired. I left the job and have been pretty upset ever since. So what i'm asking is, how will I know if charges are being brought against me??? I've read other posts where people have been driving around with arrest warrants out for them and not even knowing!! I just have this terrible wondering if something else is going to happen to me regarding this, or if my firing was just the end of the whole situation. Should I go into the store and pay the $215 for the loss??
