Deformation of character at the work place
Hello,
Four of my coworkers have been accused of stealing Liquor by the AGM of the hotel because the liquor cost was too high. He blames our department with no proof to back it up and it has caused undue stress to all involved. We are in the process of talking to HR and filing a complaint of Deformation of Character. He out and out said to the banquet manager that our dept is stealing and is the cause of the liquor cost to be so high. He has no proof of this and it is not true so there will be no proof but has told four managers that this is his conclusion. He never even went to the GM or HR to report this but in the mean time we all have been looked upon like thieves. The rumors are going around the hotel and have caused all of us stress .I am a 19 year employee and the others are 10 year employees and I was just wondering if we hire an attorney, where do we stand. We still will be going through Corporate on this but just want to know about hiring an attorney.
Thank You
Yvette
