Legal Question
vindicated by email?
My question: is there any way for a recently fired employee to
compell his ex employer to not destory or alter his and/or all other
company email?
Brief explanation:
I'm a 37 year old 13 year veteran of the technical publishing
industry and have just been, well fired is the word here. this
happened the week my owner (whom I answer to directly) returnd
from a 3 week trip to europe. the night he got back he
suspended me with pay by phone, the next dat I received another
message where he terminated me and spoke about a series of
vague and very open ended accusations or 'reaons' that
contained, worryingly, a variety of possible charges.
I've thought about this for 2 days and nights now and I've done a
great deal of reading including nolo press, and some actual cases
:} I believe there is a good chance to show a implied employment
contract, and even without one I think there are still several
possible charge angles I can hit him with.
anyway, I'm more than certain that any review of the internal
company email correspondence over the last month or so would
vindicate me immediatly and totally from anything he has
(possibly) accused me off.
