" Getting fired for talking Ohio ... I just got fired today becuase I was on a discussion forum and said I saw people serving food off the floor.Some people got pissed, I got pissed, told guy if I saw him in there I would serve him food off the floor. They found out were I worked and people have been calling my ex employer. Can I get into any type of trouble? I never said this is were I work."
and then:
"I told the truth so it was not slander, and in my sitiuation it didn't fit into any of the whistle blower catagories."
That's right, you are NOT a wistle blower!
You said that you would serve people off the floor. How does telling the truth about what YOU would do help you, since no one wants to eat off even the cleanest floor!
It is true that this employer does not employ people who say on the internet that they will serve people off the floor, proof, you got fired.
It's not whether the floor is dirty or if anyone else did or not do, if you stopped there it would not be slander and maybe you would be a wistle blower.
That is why you are not a wistle blower.
You got fired because you said you would feed somone off the floor and they could identify where you worked and called your employer. Get it!? It is what you said YOU would do.
Why would an employer want to keep an employee that admits on the internet that they would feed people off the floor? Who would want to eat there?
That you were drinking makes it worse......
"Said I should be able to get unemployment since I never did slander them." Then how did they catch you? You really think they are going to say they didn't fire you for cause, are you still drinking??
" He recommends writing a letter to them and explain it to them. If they do try to sue me, he says we got em."
And you have such a great case that he will take it pro bono, how much of a retainer will he need if he represents you?
" He mentioned they probaly used slander becuase I am the only one who gets fired, not the entire kitchen for breaking health code violations. Lesson learned, Dont drink and post"
If you see a health code violation report it the appropriately, do what you can to correct the problem and protect the public, don't get drunk go on the internet, make it obvious who your employer is and then say you would feed someone off the floor! No you didn't learn a lesson!
