What is the name of your state? AL
i was a contract employee until my termination this week. an issue arose that caused embarassment to the company i was contracted to and i suppose they felt that someone had to be punished. instead of terminating the person responsible, who was a regular full-time employee, they terminated 2 contract employees. (me and one other person). i had absoulutely nothing to do with the problem that caused the embarassing situation and i can prove it with their own records. my termination came about when they notified the company that i contracted for that i had made this significant error. since there was a third party involved, wouldn't this be considered defamation? i have been employed in my field for 20 years and have never been terminated. i am concerned that this will follow me wherever i try to go. as it is, the company that i contract for is not likely to try to place me anywhere else. what should i do?
