Re: Got fired this wednesday.

This. I'd also insist on seeing the tape where they said this occurred. If you want to keep working as a chef in the area, her accusation could get around. I'd be even more concerned about that, and I would protest the unfair accusation vehemently, especially since you know they can't prove it.

Otherwise, it sounds like you're well out of there. Having an employer who hates you, for whatever reason, is a losing prospect. It doesn't matter how perfect you are, they will find a way to get rid of you. I've seen it happen too many times.

da

The reputation/reference thing is what would have me the most worried, truth be told.

Gossip in the industry/neighborhood aside, if you submit your curriculum to a new job and they call this lady... yeah. I'm not sure what is the thing that should be done to clear up that possible damage on your reputation, though, sorry. :(

And yeah, definitely demand all of your wage and consider calling the inspectors afterwards -- rats and cockroaches! D:

Agreed. Get your 20%. They're the thieves, not you. Though I wouldn't use blackmail, like some others downthread are suggesting.

Yes, this! (Although I have the strongest suspicion that it'll conveniently "disappear"--probably because it never existed.)

It's almost twenty years since it happened, but I still feel bitter about how my manager at my first job fired me because (this was her story!) a friend of a friend had overheard someone at the beauty parlor say that as a result of something a part-time cashier had done at our store, she was never going to step foot in the place again. (Yes, the FOAF magically knew that it was at our store instead of one of the other two locations downtown, and that it was a part-time cashier, not a full-time one, who had done this apparently inexcusable thing.) For months, I racked my brains to figure out what this terrible thing was, and why, if it was so bad, I couldn't remember it.

Eventually I realized that she had probably made up this story because she wanted to give the job to the son of one of her friends. It warmed my heart to find, much later, that this hateful, deceitful woman lasted only one more month on the job than I did--she couldn't hack it as a manager. And her handpicked replacement for me turned out to be a thief.
