Today, my manager accused me of stealing $20. I didn't do it, but since she said she was going to call the cops, I gave her some of my own money. She still called the cops. FML

You shouldn't have given any money at all. If you didn't do it then she can't prove anything.

Giving her your own money somewhat seems like you're admitting to her accusation. Sorry OP

Yeah, let's just sue over every ******* issue. It's jackasses like you that are the problem here, flooding the system, frivolous lawsuits, dumbass mindsets, hoping to get money out of any little situation you can.

I believe there are separate courts specially designed to deal with cases like this. You can hardly flood a system that is made to handle overflow. Furthermore, if OP got fired, for something he/she didn't do, that should be grounds for a lawsuit. That is unless OP lives in one of those states where employers can terminate at will.

#21 Call the **** down holy shit.

Why would OP need to sue their boss? It's literally $20. 20 goddamn dollars. Why would you sue someone over that?

well if the cops arrested her then I can see why she would want to sue

If there is no evidence/proof, either witness or video, your (former) manager can't do anything. I'd sue if it's worth it, and/or quit like a boss...

If they were fired over something that they didn't do. That's grounds for a lawsuit.

@21 no, actually this is not only a perfectly legitimate reason to sue, there's a whole class of law called employment law regarding this.

Thank you. A lot of lawsuits aren't out of necessity but if you get fired from a job or arrested and charged over something you were wrongly accused of, that is legitimate grounds for a lawsuit

You shouldn't have given any money at all. If you didn't do it then she can't prove anything.

I kind of agree. OP, even though you might not have took the money, giving $20 to her made you seem guilty. Since your boss sounds like the stereotypical evil whack job you'll probably lose your job. I hope you don't but even if you don't get fired, you might want to consider quitting since I don't think you really want to go back after that.

It doesn't help. If she thinks OP is guilty, she can fire him/her regardless of whether or not she has any proof. When you're an at-will employee, you can be fired for any reason; no cause is necessary.

But that's only assuming that op lives in an "at will" state, which we don't know for certain.

Giving her your own money somewhat seems like you're admitting to her accusation. Sorry OP

Were you arrested? She had no right to call the police or take your money, with no evidence against you.

That bitch probably just said that so you would give her money and stuck that $20 in her purse.

I agree, if you give them your own money it seems like compensation

If you're in jail, you can't complain to corporate. The perfect crime!

What the heck? Some people are just born stupid, OP.

Giving her your money was a bad idea, that being said does not price your guilt. You were presherd into it, just like people being interrogated and falsely admitting to things.
