I live in Ohio, Here is my story..
I had a personal issue, I was talking about it with a Family Advocate at the place I work, It is the same company, but different city... Entire different department.. Lets consider them not even related in this case... I was talking about my problem with this person I will call (S).. I confided in S and she told me, anything we talk about will not leave the room...
S was helping me by talking to me and getting me help for my personal issue, She went behind my back and spoke to my boss, (L)... I really had confided in her and trusted her.. With her doing this, It ended up getting me fired. My bosses (L)'s reason for firing me is because I "Lied" to her, she stated she has the right to know everything I do, even stuff that is not work related.. I had told her previously I was having personal issues, I told her to an extent what was going on. I told her it was depression related, which it was in a way, but I did not go in to much detail, I didnt feel I had to, honestly its none of her business...
Ill tell you this much.. It was drug related... Once I had the issue resolved, I had planned on telling her everything... One day S obviously told L the whole story.. One day I was out on crew going to a job-site and she had called the person I was riding with (T) and told him to bring me back to her office, she needed to speak with me...
When I got back to the office, she sat me down and said I was terminated, because I had lied to her about the matter, Which was confidential in the first place..
Now how is this any way legal? I don't really have much proof, seeing as how I don't have her on video/recorded telling me I was terminated for lying to her, and she also stated she has the right to know everything I do, even outside of work, and seeing as how I didn't tell her the whole story I was fired, and was to leave the property immediately or the police would be called..
