Today, I went to work feeling great. I'd just paid off my student loans and was planning a trip to see friends in Italy. I left work unemployed because a fraud case I exposed 3 years ago got the company sued for slander. It was thrown out because everything was fact. FML

Today, I resigned from my dream job with a small company. In the 6 weeks I worked there, a fist-fight occurred, the police were called 4 times, a person was fired for lying on important documents, and I was yelled or heckled for my ideas everyday. Now I'm jobless and worried, but had the first good night's sleep in 6 weeks. FML

I'm confused. Why were you fired? The way you write it is You exposed a fraud case, the people who you excused of fraud sued your company for slander. The fraud was true so your company successfully got the slander suit thrown out. How do you lose your job over that? or did you mean you thought you found fraud in your own company, another company used your info to sue your company and it ended up you were wrong about the fraud?
